"No, Amir, slap with the inside part of the hand like this..."
:deal This coming from a huge supporter of Khan. Lazarus is a great example of how to support your fighter intelligently and honestly.
Typical Bute fight.
Revenues are at all time highs and the term "World Champion" actually means "World Champion" due to participation from international fighters....

In my lifetime it's Roy Jones and Meldrick Taylor as 1 and 1A.
