Board 8 > There are very few sports figures/moments that make me feel genuinely humbled.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I only learned about Dewey Bozella after the Hopkins/Dawson fight. Apparently he was fighting on the undercard. This is a really amazing story:

Hang out with UNC "fans" on December 3rd if you want to see what being humbled is all about.

Except how boxing changed his entire disposition on life.

Or that his dream is to train younger kids in boxing in order to better their lives.

Or, you know, the fact that he just recently had a professional boxing match.

Or the fact that he won the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage.

Nope, nothing to do with sports at all.

The video you posted didnt mention a pro match.

Yes, because if it's not professional, it's not really sports.

But I'm not going to argue something this silly beyond that statement.

If ESPN gave an ESPY to every black dude who boxes in prison then most black men would have ESPYs

The pro match actually didn't happen until after the ESPYs

How about every black dude that was wrongly convicted, refused to plead guilty, and then finally released after 20 something years with boxing being the catalyst?

20 something?

Try 32 years.

It's definitely what changed his outlook on life. I don't think he would have been nearly as driven to get out of prison if not for that.
