SINCE AJ, ALL YORUBA BOYZ TURN BOXERS, NOW DEY WILL ALL RUN AWAY.



RIP


Ignorant kids like thus are too many on Nairaland.

Weren't Yoruba guys into boxing before AJ?

Did all Igbo guys run away from Football after the death of Sam Okwaraji who died at the 77th minute during a World Cup qualifying match between Nigeria and Angola in 1989

They should arrest the organizers of the fight for calling two people to come and fight and kill themselves. They should also arrest everyone that stood and watch them fight instead of separating them.
What kind of thing is that?

Sounds like what my girlfriend will say

I remember one story I read online about a boxer like that who became comatose after a fight, that shit gave me nightmare. There was another one recently again where the guy was in coma for months and his brain was damaged. Boxing isn't a child's play. Punching the face or head can cause some serious Problem to the person.
Joshua's recrnt fight with the Cameroonian almost ended that way. Shock catch me oo.

That's Prichard Colon! He fought against William Terrell who punched him at the back of his head (a dangerous and banned move). Even when Prichard complained to the referee, he was told to "deal with it".

He collapsed at the ninth round and was rushed to the hospital where he slipped into coma (for 221 days). The doctors did save his life but he has been in a vegetative state ever since. Mind you, that fight happened in 2015. angry angry

I've said it countless times; "One of the most underrated miracles is going out to look for our daily bread and returning home unharmed". May the Almighty God continue to protect us as we go about hustling for our daily bread. sad sad

I zryna train for boxing in early 2005 then in Ogba ikeja. My instructor Mr Afeez beat the hell outta me. I resorted to gaming and never looked back. Boxing is something else. Shit ain't roses. Damn!

He probably got a real hard knock
maybe the Portuguese boxer also used the anger he has for Portuguese government to knock him out...

What's the aim of boxing if not to punch your opponent into coma.
May his soul find rest
Re: Sherif Lawal Dies Inside The Boxing Ring In His First Professional Fight by Berankis: 8:50am On May 14
Whether you box, play football, do politics, do white collar job, craftsmanship, business and even health work, one will still die.
Only the different careers have different timelines.
RIP to the great courageous boxer. Wish I had the courage and tenacity to go into sports too... But now it's too late, age is fast advancing.

Re: Sherif Lawal Dies Inside The Boxing Ring In His First Professional Fight by Whobedatte(m): 8:52am On May 14
Reminds me of Chris Eubank and Micheal Watson
After the first bout, Watson lost and felt he was cheated .
There was s re-bout and Watson the main challenger almost killed Eubank till the 10th round when Eubank dealt a devastating uppercut on Watsons head .
Watson was in a state of coma for almost a year and was miraculously brought back to life
He was paralyzed completely and confined to a wheel chair for life !
Boxing is hell of a sport embarassed

Namaster:
This is why boxers are one of the few athletes that DESERVE the insane amount of money they are paid.

You enter the ring and the GOAL of your opponent is to knock your brain HARD enough to make you faint.

But you're smart and trained so you guard your head.

Prohlem is your opponent is smart and trained too. So while you're guarding your head, he BATTERS your kidney. Over and over again.

Until you give up and try to guard against body shots. At which point your opponent musters ALL of his strength and deliver a powerful BLOW that rattles your brain inside your skull.

What I'm saying is this:

Boxing is a modern day BLOODSPORT. People train to kill each other with their bare hands for entertainment.
na why dem dey fight once or twice per year bdat and earn big.... Very dangerous sport
