Deontay Wilder Successfully Defends His Heavyweight Title In Bout Against Chris Arreola

Alabama athlete, Deontay Wilder, has retained his WBC heavyweight title in his home state, winning an 8th round stoppage against challenger, Chris Arreola. Wilder entertained his home crowd dancing in the ring during the fight, but needs to be careful. He cannot do that in a fight against fellow heavyweights Wladimir Klitschko or Tyson Fury, as they will use it as an in to damage him in the ring.

Wilder looked tired by the second round in the Arreola bout. His conditioning may have been different for this fight, but he needs to return to his previous training methods that made him heavyweight champion a year and a half ago. Half way through the Arreola fight, Wilder broke his right arm and tore his bicep. Amazingly, he won the fight using one arm (his left).

As I have consistently maintained on my Twitter page and on the Judiciary Report site, Wilder is currently the hardest hitter in heavyweight boxing. This is likely why Wilder broke his arm during the Arreola fight and previously when he captured the heavyweight title against tough as nails boxer, Bermane Stiverne, in January 2015. 

Deontay Wilder's broken hand

Wilder will be out for the rest of the year and has to undergo two surgeries to repair the damage to his right arm. Wilder's right arm is his main punching arm and the main tool in his arsenal. However, it says a lot that Wilder was able to win the fight with his left hand anyway. That was quite a performance. Wilder is also quick in the ring. However, at times Wilder's defense concerns me, as his face is often wide open and extended forward, with him relying on his speed to jump backwards in dodging punches.  

The biggest heavyweight fight that can be made at this time would be Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury. Wilder hits hard and Fury is also a big puncher, who is tough and durable. Wilder needs to raise his profile with more appearances on television shows and spots in magazines to garner as much attention as possible for the fight that Fury, boxing's biggest character, is keen on as well.

Deontay Wilder Successfully Defends His WBC Heavyweight Title In Front Of A Sold Out Alabama Hometown Crowd

Deontay Wilder vs. Eric Molina

WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder, retained his title in a successful bout against tough boxer, Eric Molina. The fight was held in Wilder's native Alabama in front of a sold out crowd. This is unusual for boxing, as most sold out events are held in major cities such as Las Vegas (Nevada) New York City (New York) or Los Angeles (California). However, paying tribute to his home state, the 6 foot 7 inch 229 pound Wilder held the fight in Birmingham, Alabama at the Bartow Arena in front of 9,000 fans.

Wilder was fresh off a broken finger/hand injury that occurred when he became the champion during his fight against Haitian-Canadian titlist, Bermane Stiverne. During the fight, Wilder seemed more restrained than usual, occasionally staring at the hand that was injured in the Stiverne bout and holding it close to his waist in a guarded manner. Wilder later told Sports Illustrated that he was experiencing "some soreness" in the hand. At times it was worrying to watch as Wilder was wide open, relying on his quickness to dance away from Molina to dodge any serious shots.

Wilder and his corner celebrating the win

During the Molina fight, Wilder unleashed combinations that resulted in four knockdowns. Molina, determined to continue, took the punishment and unleashed shots of his own. However, after a 9th round right hook, windmill and a left hook, Molina was laying on his back disoriented on the canvas. Even though he did not win the bout, Molina proved his critics wrong who stated he would be quickly dispatched. Molina stayed in there with Wilder for 9 of 12 rounds, even at times the referee wanted to end the fight prior to the decision being made for the stoppage. Wilder's record now stands at 34-0 with 33 knockouts.

Side Bar: I watched this fight with my mom and her behavior was downright awful (LOL). The first time Wilder knocked down Molina my mom, realizing where this was going said, "Stay down! You're gonna get the same money if you get back up" (LOL). Her thought was it would spare him the physical punishment and the check would be the same for Molina against Wilder, who was on track for another win. However, boxers like to fight until they can't fight anymore like warriors. They also hold out hope of continuing to search for that shot to get a surprise knockout.

Heavyweight Boxing Champ Wladimir Klitschko Wants To Beat ‘Big Mouth’ Tyson Fury On Home Turf In Britain

Football Player AJ McCarron Looks Slightly Worried That Lebron James Likes His Girlfriend Miss Alabama Katherine Webb (Video)

Alabama college football player, AJ McCarron, was caught by surprise, after a 70-year-old ESPN commentator, who is clearly a fan of Viagra, admired his girlfriend, Miss Alabama, Katherine Webb, on air. Overnight she went from a few hundred Twitter followers to a few hundred thousand.

When informed of what had transpired, McCarron, looked like he thought he was being punked. The best answer the visibly worried footballer could come up with when told the Miami Heat basketball player, Lebron James, is now following her as well (Savannah, come get your boy) is that he would ask him for a follow.

Oh you poor naive baby. Come here, let me talk to you for a second. Lebron is not your friend (LOL). He befriended your woman on Twitter. As a Heat fan I am obligated to laugh and point at you for that, but as the sweet, angelic human being I am, I have to warn you, go get your girl! A rich 6-foot tall NBA player liking your woman is not a good thing, AJ. Don't just stand there asking Lebron for a follow. Go get your girl a chastity belt or something.

Rapper Rick Ross Had Two Seizures In One Day Which Diverted Two Planes Today

Rick Ross

Miami rapper and former corrections officer, Rick Ross, fell ill today in a series of events that are very unusual. While on a private plane from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to Memphis, Tennessee in America, for a concert, Ross had a seizure and fell unconscious. The plane was diverted, sent back to Ft. Lauderdale, where paramedics feverishly worked to revive him. He was transported to a Florida hospital and released shortly after.

Ross then boarded another aircraft en route to Tennessee for his show and experienced a second seizure, which led to that plane being diverted as well, this time to Birmingham, Alabama. He was transported to another hospital, where he currently rests. His condition is currently unknown. Considering many seizure patients bite their tongues, as a matter of practicality, he should not have been rushing to do the concert so soon.

Epilepsy is not something to play with. Ross needs to be on agreeable anti-epileptic medication immediately. I state agreeable, as I have seen patients on pharmaceutical drugs such as Lamictal do well, while others on Tegretol see their white blood cell count decimated. It must be monitored.

Ross must consistently take anti-seizure medication, as missed dosages can facilitate what is known as a "grand mal" seizure, which can turn deadly. Many people with epilepsy lead normal and productive lives, but they must take their medicine to control the electrical activity in the brain creating the seizures. There's no shame in taking the medicine.

Ambulance called to the airport for Rick Ross

Over the past few years, doctors have made strides in seizure surgeries, using various techniques to limit or eliminate them altogether. However, as with all surgery, there exists inherent risks that may prove more dangerous than it is worth, to address the issue in a method other than medication.

BP Hits Another Glitch

"And Up From The Ground Came A Bubblin Crude"

saw is stuck

Trouble plagued petroleum company, BP, has hit another glitch in their attempts at stopping a spill that is pumping millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Louisiana.

The oil gushing from a broken well 5,000 feet below the sea is also beginning to pollute the ocean along Alabama and Mississippi, whilst drifting 70 miles away from Pensacola, Florida, closing in on the sunshine state.

Today it was announced by BP that a diamond tip saw being used on the troublesome, broken well, became lodged in it, further delaying work.

Side Bar: the photos of the oil just sitting on the ocean look like poo in the water. It's terrible.
