@humansaredumfuckthemtodeat9461
Fuck you Eric kelly I'm the dude who you are afraid of . Maybe he seen me.and seen an opponent who whooped his as s years ago that's probably why he denied fighting me unless money was on the line . Notice how poor he is that he has to beg for money just to have a light sparring match ? I wasn't even gonna go full on with him . I had been in numerous fights trained multiple martial arts forms . Was a college football player . Was a track memeber . I know how to last a while in the ring and be dominate . Think he knew that felt like the vibe was he sensed he would get showed up in his own game that night I challenged him . God bless a coward ? God bless a shit talker? God bless a weak will man ? God bless a prostitute of a man ? Never fuck you eri c Kelly I hope you lose the other eye . I think back on it and get mad because I was in the days of wanting to get into boxing and than this . Some guy who they tell me had ring experience not even helping me out on my path . So fuck that loser he's nothing but a bum and a failure of a boxer . Never went to the professional level even a troll like Charlie zellenof had a professional boxing match . Shows more than what he can ever tell . That is he's afraid of defeat. He knows there's levels to boxing and even an outsider can prove on that point that you don't need to be all for the sport and train and suck boxing dick to be really good at it . Fuck you erica Kelly

Keeping your hands up - "This is home, when you leave home in the morning, make sure you come home at night. If you go to your cousin's house (hand drops low), you are going to get robbed (caught with a punch), don't get robbed." - my favourite analogy I'm gonna be using for my training now.

Always had a strange relationship to this sport. Boxing harnessed and was a way to channel much of the anger I felt as a kid and young man. It built me up. But there is also an aspect of boxing that is self-destructive.

A fighter is who you are not where you're from. I believe too many people buy into the mentality that they are weak they never realize how far they can push their body even when completely exhausted, guys check out and stop concentrating thinking they're done rather than get that second wind with a working rest and come back into the fight. Its, efficiency, intelligence, experience and toughness that makes you a fighter, bringing pain and anger into a fight only works so much, the smart fighters win not the insecure ones.

I don't like Erica Kelly either yo fuck you Erica! You don't like the Mexican ? I know why you're a jail bird You've probably been locked away and we all know Mexicans and black people hate each other . Erica Kelly is poser! Not a boxer Poser he's a fake boxer . A failed boxer at that it would be one thing if he had any belts professionally but he runs his mouth like he is the best ever to ever do it . I never seen his record but I guarantee he's got losses on there . I've faced many people in competitive spirit 90 percent of the time I am victorious . The other 10 percent was when I was caught of guard or over weighed and over powered other than that I've improved with this physical confrontation shit. Don't worry bro he don't like you than don't like him back . He has no honor he has a big mouth that he uses to suck dicks with
