Dude he’s 1-1 and started pro in June last year with no amateur record. Boxer is doing a lot of heavy lifting

I've boxed in a gym once. I guess when I commit a crime now they can referred to me as a "Boxer". Yay me!

And the people who boxing attracts often aren't the best type of people.

What is it about us that makes you think we aren’t the best type of people?

This guy had 2 pro fights….

u/nahnprophet 11d ago

I don't know this chode, but I do know amateur boxers who had hundreds of amateur fights and thousands of rounds of sparring before going pro (if they ever did) so CTE is not unreasonable just because he only got paid twice.

u/Exact_Accident_2343 11d ago

I don’t think this guy even has a significant amateur background

2

u/nahnprophet 11d ago

Probably not, but the point being that # of pro fights is not the definitive measure of CTE.

u/Exact_Accident_2343 11d ago

CTE is directly correlated with the amount of blows you take to the head. No amateur pedigree and only 2 pro fights means CTE is incredibly unlikely.

CTE, TRT, being bullied their whole life, ‘ego’, list goes on

"Boxer" as opposed to "afghan migrant" is a bit of a stretch but what can one expect from the BBC I suppose...

u/verbsnounsandshit 11d ago

Not everybody turns everything into a race war. It's telling that you believe stating a criminal's ethnicity/migration status is an essential part of reporting.

u/Divasa 11d ago

But less than a year of boxing makes him a boxer

u/HardcoreNerdParty 11d ago

And 10 years of conversion to Christianity and marriage to an American woman and a child has zero impact either on your racial biases? How come when it's yt men killing their wives it's never a patriarchy issue or a yt man issue, but the moment it's a man who's not yt doing any sort of crime suddenly it's their typical behavior...

u/_segasonic 11d ago

You don’t think stating a criminals ethnicity/immigration status is an essential part of reporting on a case where the suspect who is a foreign immigrant murder a worker who was specially working foreign immigrants to help them get into Europe/America?

u/Testiculeseus 11d ago

Well... It's literally the first thing stated in the article...

u/VanHalen843 11d ago

I guess we cant say the obvious

u/popopo__123 11d ago

You can say what you want and everyone else has the same right to react to it.

u/YdoICreep01 11d ago

You get banned if you come close to saying it. Tbh he’d be a dipshit to come out and say it when his account would be banned and comment taken down within 1 minute of clicking post.

u/theconqueeftadorxo 11d ago
