I know her pain; I lost 3 people to cancer, but she is a survivor. God bless her and my advice is be with the people that you love, because tomorrow is never promising.

@@Ryan-ix6dt boxing is bigger and recognize more as a sport around the world but my opinion still not changed. I just don't think many people know the names of 10 boxers without naming off the greats. This might be true about knowing 10 mma fighters but the trend def going in that direction. It's not to hate on boxing. as a skill its cool to watch but I'm not paying for a ppv. I'll watch on fightpass like I would a grappling match.
