    Yeah, we had a conversation about this awhile back. My ex-girlfriend goes to Johns Hopkins. I visited one weekend and there were SIX UNRELATED SHOOTINGS on one Saturday.

    Are you black?

    The police are afraid to police. Nobody wants to be a cop in Baltimore. The locals don't have much trust in the police. They don't cooperate with the police. The cops are afraid of arresting people because they're afraid of getting jumped. Sometimes they stay in their car while a fellow cop is involved with an aggressively resisting citizen just because they're afraid some more guys might show up. And now the media has been painting cops as dangerous. So many cops are like **** it, I don't want to show up on the 6 o'clock news. So they don't police at all. Which is a big reason why Baltimore has so many murders.

    No I lived in Southwest Baltimore which is where a lot of the poor white people lived. There is less violence in South Baltimore than towards the center of the city.

    I was at the Broner-Granados fight in Cincinnati and yes it has to be a concern about venue. I made sure to get out of there as soon as the decision was read. There were a lot of tough customers roaming about. I'm sure Baltimore would be more of a problem.

    They need to hold this fight in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, 3 ukrainian judges and a ukrainian referee.
    American fighters need to dare to be great, none of them ever try

    By the way, it seems like Tank is not happy with his promoter:

    I cant see it I would be shocked if Davis beats Loma. It's a mismatch in terms of skills

    Tank Davis should refuse to be a sucker, and wait a couple years to fight Lomachenko. No need to make the same mistake that Canelo made, fighting Floyd before he was ready. It's a better fight, a tougher fight for Loma a couple years down the line.

    Are you advocating that a 130 pound beltholder should duck another 130 pound beltholder?

    Tank has a belt. If he's not ready, he has no place carrying a belt.
