Floyd “Money” Mayweather has switched his allegiances from HBO to Showtime, and will fight Roberto “The Ghost” Guerrero on May 4. They don’t call him “Money” for nothing. My only problem with Mayweather is that in a sport, so in need of help, he just doesn’t fight often enough. Of course, with the money he commands, he doesn’t need to 다운로드.
The best years of a fighters life is usually the early ones, and at this point, “Money” has seemed to have passed it by. Of course there are exceptions, most notably George Foreman. Those exceptions have been few and far between.
I urge that my readers refer to the end of this column and also to do their small share to help myself and others in the fight against cancer 다운로드. Breakthroughs have been made and we may be seeing the beginning of the end, God willing of this horrible disease.
FYI, I do not have cancer and as far as I know, no one in my family has ever had it, so like most people, I’ve seen the ravages of this terrible disease, I’ve also been blessed. I’m just asking the readers for stories of inspiration and miracles, not money. The stories I’m seeking do not have to be boxing related or religion based, just honest instances you’ve experience and want to share to help others 코렐드로우 x5 다운로드.

A very interesting and somewhat important welterweight title fight this weekend, from Washington, D.C.
This bout on Feb. 23, is for the IBF title and we can expect it to be a very competitive bout shown on ESPN.
The combatants are hometown favorite Lamont Peterson taking on veteran Kendall Holt.
Peterson comes in with a record of 30-1-1, with 15 knockouts, while Holt boasts a 28-5 mark with 16 coming by stoppage.
Peterson, at 29, is two years younger than Holt but his reach is two inches shorter, which probably will not play a big factor in the outcome of the bout.
I expect the contest to be exciting and close, but, simply put, Peterson will have the edge with the crowd. And, sadly but true, the noise of the crowd can have an impact on a judges scorecard.
Look for Peterson to win a hard-fought decision.
