There is currently no evidence this was suicide. He went for a long walk in blazing heat and it appears took a wrong turn and likely died from exhaustion. Regardless of people's political positions it is a BS move to say someone committed suicide without genuine evidence. As a general rul...
Guy at my work is paralysed from the waist down after an accident at/on IOM. Great guy, but I can't imagine the risk is worth the reward...
He definitely looked to struggle with the southpaw, but I don't think his lack of an amateur background is/was the issue. Naturally he would have a better boxing IQ etc, but he was literally scared to throw it imo, there were openings where he could have landed it and he didn't. ...

Wilder landed 9 punches in 3 rounds. He allowed Zhang to continually just walk him down - Zhang isn't exactly high work rate himself - and looked scared to throw the right. Similar thing happened to AJ ever since the Ruiz loss but he seems to have finally got his confidence back, but at 38 Wi...

You should have watched more of the game. Lively went 1/4 on the first fouls so it did start to work. I would suggest 5 points of 4 possessions is what they would have wanted, they just didn't capitalise....

Most of these issues are issues well before high school. The simple fact is that education starts in the home. How many parents don't read to their kids? How many set a bad example for how to treat people in positions of authority? If it was simply schools fault then there would be no good an...
