Empower Yourself with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

In front of a packed Wembley Stadium, Anthony Joshua went on collect his 22nd victory Saturday night with a 7th round knockout of the stouthearted Russian, Alexander Povetkin. Joshua now holds an impressive 22-0 record, with 21 of those victories coming by way of knockout. Joshua encountered, perhaps unexpectedly, a great deal of pressure from Povetkin in the early rounds of the fight, but settled down and found his jab by round 4. AJ was then able to hurt Povetkin with a big right hand, leading to a stoppage shortly after.

All boxing fans recognize that the sport has very obvious problems. The sport is plagued by bad judging, complicated negotiations, and alphabet belts that change hands frequently, and sometimes without even a fight. Wading through hyped fights and mandatory challengers, and with broadcasts being infrequent and mediocre at best it is tough to draw new fans. Then factor in the competition from MMA, which seems to always be on some channel.

In the highly anticipated rematch between Mexican superstar Saul Canelo Alverez and Gennady GGG Golovkin, controversy struck again, opposed to the saying lightning does not strike twice.

Tonight is the night. PPV Superstar Saul Canelo Alverez takes on Gennady Golovkin in a hugely anticipated rematch. The first fight ended in dramatic circumstances, as it was surrounded in controversy. The reason, many thought the fan favourite from Kazakhstan was robbed on the cards by an unfairly wide score card from world renowned female judge Adelaide Byrd. Byrd’s score card favoured Canelo ten rounds to two, even giving Golovkin's best rounds to the Mexican.
Sam HoldernessPublished 6 years ago in UnbalancedMy Life in the WWE Universe
I’ve been a fan of professional wrestling (or sports entertainment) off and on for the vast majority of my life. As a kid in the 90s, wrestling was at its height. Every Monday night my friends and I would finish our chores and homework early, polish off our halos, and stay out of trouble in hopes of staying up late to watch an episode of wrestling in its entirety. The most important word in that last sentence is, ‘episode.’ There was a time when I believed that everything I saw in that ring was real. I thought Hulk Hogan had a lower body made of stone and that the Undertaker was an actual dead person. I believed Kane’s body was covered in burns and that Shawn Michaels had magic in his shoes that could put anyone to sleep. Then one day, Vince McMahon made a video. In this video, Vince looks directly into the camera and utters words that would change my life forever. With a grin of confidence he tells us that the fights we’ve been watching for years is part of a show. It’s not real so to speak. The outcomes are predetermined and most of what we see has been scripted and rehearsed. I was devastated. I didn’t know what to believe. I thought Vince McMahon was just a commentator. I had no idea he owned the company. The curtain had fallen for me and millions of others, thus bringing with it an inevitable decline.
Earvin AllenPublished 6 years ago in UnbalancedHow I Would've Saved WWE SummerSlam 2018
With the Biggest Event of The Summer Weekend behind us, the majority of the fans knew this event was gonna be a dud. It was, in my opinion, an ehh show, especially for being an almost five-hour show. With lackluster storylines, repetitive matches from the prior PPV with predictable outcomes, WWE's agenda to push Reigns as their top guy, and that same main event he is in is pretty much more played out than any Cena/Orton feud. If WWE would've gone against the grain and actually produced an exciting ending, this could've been one of the best Summerslam in years. This could've been a great opportunity to push KO as their leading heel on Raw. And putting The Authors of Pain with Kevin would make perfect sense since they need a manager/mouthpiece. Kevin could have also been a mentor to them to help out with their promos. Even though I don't hate their promos, they a need a little help. This will also get AOP out of the current feud they're in or at least speed it up for them to be involved in the tag title hunt. I think my idea for Kevin Owens and Authors of Pain stable forming would've blown the roof of the Barclays Center. Or at least make the show more interesting with my booking of the main event.
DHAWK DESIGNSPublished 6 years ago in Unbalanced7 Lessons We Can All Learn from Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels is a mere wrestling superstar to most, but to me, he was the catalyst for change that I so desperately needed. Something about him spoke to me so deeply. I watched him, studied him, and after a while, I felt like I knew him. Something about him was so raw, so real, and so easy to get lost in. It wasn’t just a character, it was a piece of him that drew so many in.
hannah irelanPublished 6 years ago in Unbalanced'Fist of Fury'
It can be hit and miss with martial arts movies. While some are just a mass of badly choreographed action sequences, good films can get lost in translation. One thing fans can be sure of when they pick up a Bruce Lee movie is that they are watching a quality production. With the legend's extensive martial arts training, the man liked to portray a realistic product on screen. Although Fist of Fury stands on the fringe of realism, I think there's enough here to keep action film fans happy. This is Bruce Lee's second feature film following The Big Boss which was originally released in 1972 but didn't come to the UK until 1973.

Full Disclosure Part of the reason I’m writing this is that I’m stressed and I can’t sleep. See, I’m a bit of a gym rat, and I think about my fitness level a lot—therefore, I stress about my waning cardiovascular strength a lot.

One of my all time favourite fighters in the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) has to be Brazilian Royce Gracie. The original 'Ultimate Fighting Championship' happened in 1993 but I was about 23 years old when I first saw it, which was back in 2009. The sport of MMA had came from fringe sport to mainstream attraction by then, but it didn't take away from the magnitude of Royce Gracie's achievements that night in 1993. On the same evening, Gracie had defeated a pro boxer, a shoot fighter, and a kickboxer. Still to this day I am amazed by the fighting prowess of the man, who originally had a submission based style, he only real struck his opponent when he was on the ground. You can probably imagine then how disappointed I was when my hero tested positive for Nandrolone (May 8, 2007) after an Elite XC bout with rival Kazushi Sakuraba.
