Richardson allways wrong.he cant move on mosley atempting to quit in round 9 fight.
It only stands to reason one hood rat would back the other hood rat . Sportsmanship is lost on the average black male in the USA !
Someone needs to seriously asked Naazim about his botched nose job….. what happened? who did the nose job? how much did he pay? Did he report it to Better Business Bureau? Did he file a complaint?
Great Show!!
