I may sound callous but when you take away the article's melodrama it basically says his mum died at 42 in hospital and that he spent a night in a cell aged 11.

Not wishing to sound harsh but it really ain't a story at all. Showtime and HBO seem to like all black and South American fighters to have come from an impoverished life of poverty and hardship until they found sanctuary within the loving embrace of the good old land of the free and the brave.

I think it's demeaning to the third world the way we in the Western world shed mock tears over their plights and then comfort ourselves with knowing that now they have come to the promised land and tasted of real civilisation that they will be happy.

Condescending pricks in my opinon.

Life is tough...Lovemore got over it so why can't we?
