No way you can blame her and her father (I mean, who's gonna say no to a shitload of money and financial security for probably a long time?), but damn, I f*cking hate those Azerbaijan sports rats. 

 

And buying the 16 year olds. I guess we can conclude that there are no children in Azerbaijan...

They have a two-pronged attack.... buy the best athletes and according to BBC investigation prior to London 2012, they also pay money to buy some guaranteed golds:

Next Saturday we'll see one fight that can be expected to be just fantastic: Terence Crawford vs Julius Indongo, with a grand total of 6 world titles on the line.

 

Definitely cheering for Indongo, the way he beat Burns in April was fantastic :bowdown:

And it's over within 3 rounds, Crawford wins :( (huge 'liver shot' causing Indongo to fall to the floor in pain and that's when it was over)

The two best fighters in the world are still the two best fighters in the world, and there ought not be much argument over the drawn 12-rounder between Gennady Golovkin and Saul ‘Canelo’ Álvarez, although the manner of getting there on the scorecards was bizarre.

The sometimes eccentric Adalaide Byrd gave a palpably closer fight 118-110 to the Mexican, Dave Moretti had it a more sensible 115-113 and Don Trella had enough evidence to justify a 114-114 draw. And that glow of satisfaction at ringside might have been the smiles of the TV executives and casino heavyweights who know they will now do it all over again.

Very much agree. The fight was good, a draw is not the most strange thing in the world (although I would have said Golovkin should have won), but man, that 118-110.....Byrd must have been blind or something? Did she accidentally watch another fight? Did she mix up the fighters? That made no sense at all..

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.
    • Sorry for missing the draw, I was getting ready for bed when it began and just saw it now     Nice to see it so filled with local sports facts though  
    • It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict. But the West's strategy backfired as it pushed Russia to friendship with China. Many don't realize as Russia and China are actually adversaries even when they shared a common ideology during the Soviet era
