  • A fight between 2 very talented gatekeepers. Both of whom are named Steve. To quote Junior Soprano, neither one of them has the making of a varsity athlete. Still, it should be a great fight.

    • Hey lekaren, Jared ” big dummy” Anderson was arrested on 2/29 for evading the police, a felony.

      • Candy Ass Anderson is on a roll with the felonies. He just keeps picking them up. Thank you, Killa King.

      • Ryan Garcia is a real punk. I am NOT paying for it, but, I hope Haney teaches Garcia a lesson. I hope Haney crushes Garcia. Haney is going to beat the living Sht out of Garcia. I can’t wait.

      • Killa King …yeah.,.there are issues with both….life problems…ebbs and flows….had them…having or matured and learned….been there ….youthful digressions…or just learning in general….no one is exempt.,easy to criticize and throw rocks…easier to ,hope for the best..advise to.get better…focus….and move on..

        • Move on? Advise to get better? Look, if he or anyone else has figured it out by now while Anderson is staring a big pot of money then they are just plain stupid. He is not 16. He is at least 23. I always think of those that have as much talent, but we’re not given the chance. That followed the law, but were overlooked. He has a brother in the clink, so he is well aware of his decisions. I will say it again, Anderson never will be champion because he ain’t dedicated to his craft and just doesn’t have the talent. Garcia, well that’s a whole another ballgame. I’m not even going to touch that one. Throw rocks and criticize? No, it’s not easy, it’s to be expected when you are a professional athlete that does not live up to their expectations morally, lawfully, and spiritually. No one is exempt except those that live their life correctly with morals.

          • Killa King….so you had life….”life” …..figured out at 23….if that is the case …why are you still alive?…a great man once told me if you satisfied then you should lay down and die…..I once watched a ninety year old lady cry over something that she said she had never seen before….in ninety years of living this wise lady was broken by life and you ….Killa King figured it all out at 23…..and money don’t make it easier…money has limitations also…if common sense was for sale and very affordable…people would not buy it cause they don’t have the common sense to know that is necessary….life is about choices…people make mistakes… Anderson has a right to grow and learn like we all do…. Anderson…grow…focus…and get better…

          • Dude, save your old wise man fables for some other sucker. Not many of us have life figured out at 23. What you fail to mention is that he committed a crime, again. He drove a vehicle in such a a manner that he put other lives in jeopardy. That has nothing to do with growing and sounds like a very selfish fool. So, you need to be grown to know whether driving a vehicle reckless in which the police stopped chasing him at least three times because he was that much of a danger to the public. That’s not, ” learning to grow, ” but just being an idiot. This man or brain of a boy needs just plain sense because he has none. I at 23, I had enough common sense to say to myself, self if I go driving reckless there are going to be repressions, right? Save the excuses or people make mistakes. A wise man once told me, if you commit a crime once and pay the price for it and never commit another crime again, that’s a mistake. If you commit another crime again especially one similar to the one you did the first time, then it’s no longer a mistake because you like doing it. That wise man was me after 27 years of chasing after people that made ” mistakes,” all the time! Believe me, people do change, I’ve seen it, but a man that supposedly has the world at his feet is either an idiot or he is self sabotaging his success for foolish reasons.
