My uncle is from West oak Lane he used to tell me about these wars

[@schloergrape5191]

foooking hell... so he *really* did grow up in the ghetto. It's good to see a friendship come out of a rivalry.

[@KingAnime101]

Fucking beautiful like wow. This real live hit my soul.

[@RGTomoenage11]

where can I find the whole episode?

[@mogatdula]

What he was talking about at the end, is called the Stockdale Paradox.

[@flahertyrick88]

Everything is personal in prison lol

[@kobiesboxing4956]

Hell yeah, guys fighting on the basketball court, they fighting in the tv room over what movie to watch, they fighting over gambling debts, and etc.

[@blazonish]

I couldn't quite catch that last sentence that he said. About being dead before you're in the ground?

[@danielchappell1672]

Mikey What he means is that you need hope. "Any man that goes into a cave with only one opening deserves to die."

[@keithmorgan1170]

Get this dude a glass of water

[@Titanykus]

If you are really a boxing fan, there is no way you can call this guy one, does he fight? Hell yeah, is he a clean fighter? Nowhere close, all you have to do is watch any fight and analyze it.

[@Ricobaca]

Whats that on his glasses?

[@cripnamedblood]

You'd think criminals in prison would honor the art, rules and sportsmanship of boxing..... Not the case.

[@lukebr0wn89]

I spent 3 years behind the door with Bernard and Smokey. After 2 weeks Bernard was holding my pocket. Smokey was making my coffee

What's a boxing match like in prison?

[@mlzj09]

What's that red line on his glasses?

[@1234phil12345]

I think he wears glasses purely for fashion or to look a certain way. If you look at other photos he often has funny glasses on.

[@UndisputedBoxing]

Phil Albert it's Prada glasses

[@streetheat516]

Blink the red line is just part of the temple (Arm) design. It's meant to add a little tiny accent mark to the popular pattern of his frames.

[@rhysgodber4808]

They aren't prescription glasses, just dummy lenses. I used to fit glasses and the stock from the production would come like that, you pop the fake lenses out and fit the prescription ones without stickers etc. It's just a little sticker to tell you the brand. He obviously wears them for fashion.

[@jpmp7939]

Blink really bro he's talkn and your ask about the red line man 😎😎😎😎😎

[@shamirwilliams4419]

He is more bad ass than Lee Murray

Hopkins who got beat from a White Boy

[@pasquale1650]

Three white boys actually.

[@pasquale1650]

@Frederick Wells Calzaghe absolutely would've slapped him silly in his prime. Kovalev 50/50. Joe Smith no fuckin way.

[@rydermccleary9226]

Why does it matter that there white?

[@pasquale1650]

@Frederick Wells He's been retired for 11 years dipshit.

[@pasquale1650]

@@rydermccleary9226 Because Bhop was running around screaming about how he would never lose to a white boy before he lost to Calzaghe...then Kovalev...then Smith.

[@jpadams13]

He is punch drunk 💯.

[@Goku_Kiyosaki]

I don’t think so at all what makes you say that

[@Bruss813]

@@Goku_Kiyosaki He's talking slow as hell and not deliberately

[@kobiesboxing4956]

If he's punch drunk this is the least I've ever seen it, and James Toney is the worst.

[@venicec3310]

Hes a fighter not a talker, he explains everything well too
