Agreed, I hate it the most when a likable, articulate, and intelligent guy like Bird stays around too long.

At the time I thought he could've done much better in his last fight with Wladdy, but for some reason he thought he could stand right in front of him at the end of Wladdy's punches.

I hope he gets out while his still has his wits about him.

Can't wait to see the fight, and it's good to see promising young HWs on the way up, no matter where they're from.
