Floyd Mayweather's Ex-Fiancée Shantel Jackson Posts Photo Of Dog With Boxing Reference Naming The Pet Champ


Shantel Jackson and Floyd Mayweather before he called off their engagement
 
Champion boxer Floyd Mayweather's former fiancée, Shantel Jackson, posted a photo on Instagram.com of a black dog, naming the pet "champ" with a boxing reference to "Rocky" star Mr. T. Jackson clearly still has Mayweather on her mind to make that post. The question is why. Mayweather dumped Jackson for aborting his twin babies and telling him he stressed her into a miscarriage.

Jackson, via famed attorney, Gloria Alred, filed a lawsuit against Mayweather, but not much is being said about it anymore. At the time of the lawsuit being filed, the case was difficult to locate in the court system as well. Jackson has been trying to get back the $5,000,000 engagement ring Mayweather had given her, then took back after lying to him about the abortion. It is customary for a woman to return the ring if the engagement is cancelled.

Jackson's career has not taken off in Hollywood, leaving her depending on small product placements on Instagram.com, as well as financial assistance from rapper/actor, Nelly, whom she has been dating for over 2-years. However, Nelly has not popped the question or fathered children by Jackson, who has now become broody. The situation has Jackson thinking about Mayweather again. Sad situation.

   
Shantel Jackson's post on Instagram without the glamorous look she used to maintain when dating Mayweather
 
I know the politically correct thing is to state a woman's body is her own (which is true) and abortion is a right that's your business. However, ladies, I would like to encourage you not to have abortions. So many women who've had abortions regret it and wonder year after year what their child would have been like at each stage of life. They need to forgive themselves and seek emotional and spiritual healing. Women have been raising babies since the beginning of time. Don't be afraid to keep your baby. You can successfully raise your child.

Boxer Alexander Povetkin Testing Positive For Steroids Causes Cancellation Of Deontay Wilder Fight And Possible Lawsuits


Deontay Wilder v. Alexander Povetkin
 
On Saturday, May 14, 2016, ESPN announced 36-year-old boxing challenger, Alexander Povetkin (31-1), tested positive for the banned steroid, meldonium, which is a commonly used heart drug in his native Russia. Povetkin was scheduled to fight undefeated 30-year-old WBC heavyweight champ, Deontay Wilder (36-0), on May 21, 2016 in Moscow, Russia. In the weeks leading up to the fight, Alabama native, Wilder, even billed the bout the new Rocky IV on his social networking pages. Ironically, in more ways than one. Povetkin has become a real live Drago. 

The WBC has announced today that in light of the Povetkin's positive drug test, the fight has been postponed. Prominent figures in boxing are stating the fight should be cancelled, not postponed and Povetkin handed a ban. Wilder's promoter is looking into a potential lawsuit, as a $5,000,000 purse is at stake and Povetkin is liable. Wilder's manager Jay Deas has told the press the fight is not postponed, but cancelled, which prompted Povetkin's promoter to threaten a lawsuit. 


Alexander Povetkin
 
It's sad to have to cancel a fight, especially with a large number of tickets already sold. Russian fans and others around the world who purchased tickets to fly to Moscow to see the bout that was scheduled for this Saturday, will be disappointed, but there are valid issues regarding Povetkin that warrant a cancellation. 

Meldonium gives athletes an undue advantage. It increases endurance, stamina and strength. The mere fact Povetkin tested positive for meldonium, means his body is still benefiting from the drug. Povetkin's January 2016 drug test came back clean. However, Povetkin's April 2016 drug test came back positive for meldonium, which means it was ingested recently during training camp.


Deontay Wilder

In March 2016, 29-year-old tennis star Maria Sharpova, tested positive for meldonium. Sharapova, a resident of Florida since age 7, was taking the drug for most of her adult career (for the past 10-years) and stated she was unaware it was banned in January 2016. However, it has been stated, tennis players were warned 5-times in writing (emails) that meldonium is banned as of January 1, 2016. Sharapova, who is barred from playing tennis, is now awaiting word on how long she will be banned, pending an appeal. Meldonium is not approved for any type of use in America. However, it can be lawfully purchased in Russia.

Sharapova has many multi-million dollar endorsements with companies such as Nike, Porsche and Tag Heuer, which have already been revoked in light of the positive drug test. Tennis players are not expressing sympathy for her plight, with rival Jennifer Capriati stating Sharapova should be stripped of her 35 tennis titles. Even ex-boyfriend Andy Roddick has stated Sharapova should receive a ban.


Maria Sharapova
 
If one does not have heart problems, it is not a good idea to take the drug. Long term effects on healthy patients is currently unknown by medical science. More investigation is needed regarding comparative studies with proper control groups. Meldonium could lead to cancer and or heart problems, among other things, for disrupting the body's natural mechanisms, when no illness is present. 

As state above, meldonium increases strength, stamina and endurance, which means the heart is working harder than it normally would, via increased levels of hyperactivity, if the drug was not present in the healthy person's system. This risk is multiplied in a heavyweight, as the heart already works harder in larger people. Speeding up its processes with an artificial drug, magnifies any negative effects. One of them being an enlarged heart, which if left unchecked can lead to an early death.


Maria Sharapova
 
Heart patients know they are barred from overexerting themselves, engaging in strenuous physical activity and must be cautious of stair climbing, due to the negative effect these acts can have on a damaged heart. An athlete will do all those things in training and practice for several hours per day, on average 5 days a week (weight lifting, stair climber and running for miles). Therefore, the risks are compounded.

If you pay attention to the ages of steroids using wrestlers who have suddenly died at early ages from heart attacks, many of them are in their 40s and 50s, which is usually the age heart disease begins to kick in for people who engaged in practices detrimental to their health (cocaine, smoking cigarettes ect). Once again, proper studies need to be conducted, factoring in age, weight, lifestyle and period of time the drug was ingested by each subject and in what quantity, to gain accurate answers. Either way, if you aren't sick, you shouldn't be taking pharmaceutical drugs, as fundamentally it is not a good idea.

Two reports assert Alexander Povetkin took meldonium after ban
 
6:38 PM ET - While the fight between heavyweight titleholder Deontay Wilder and mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin hangs in the balance after Povetkin's positive test for the banned substance meldonium, the assertion from Povetkin's promoter that it was in his system only because he took it late last year -- before it was banned -- appears untrue. 

After ESPN first reported on Friday that Povetkin tested positive for meldonium in an April 27 urine test conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association in Chekhov, Russia, promoter Andrey Ryabinsky of World of Boxing told the Russian TASS news agency that "traces of extremely low concentration of meldonium have been found in his blood. He consumed it in September last year. He has not taken it since Jan. 1. The situation is ambiguous. The blood sample was taken in April this year. We have been in contact with the World Boxing Council, which is to decide if Povetkin's boxing bout against Deontay Wilder will take place or not." 

However, ESPN.com has obtained two separate written reports sent by VADA's president, Dr. Margaret Goodman, to both camps as well as the WBC, whose title Wilder holds, notifying them that Povetkin was negative for any banned substances in VADA-conducted tests on April 7, April 8 and April 11. So Povetkin, who has yet to ask for his B sample to be tested, apparently used meldonium between April 11 and his positive test on April 27. The letter Goodman sent disclosing the negative results on April 7 and April 8 was sent on April 21. The letter confirming the negative results on April 11 was sent on April 30. 

"The information you have obtained is accurate," promoter Lou DiBella, who represents Wilder, told ESPN.com on Saturday. "It also contradicts the public statements made by Mr. Ryabinsky attempting to excuse Povetkin's positive result. If there was a trace amount from 2015 in his system, it would have shown up in the other three tests in April that preceded the positive result. "This is a very serious PED because it wasn't on the (World Anti-Doping Agency) banned list until Jan. 1. This is the type of PED that results in extremely elevated stamina and a fighter performing like the Energizer bunny."...

Deontay Wilder-Alexander Povetkin title fight postponed
 
6:53 AM ET - Heavyweight titleholder Deontay Wilder's defense against mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin was called off Sunday in the wake of Povetkin's positive test for the banned substance meldonium. Wilder and Povetkin were scheduled for their much-anticipated fight on May 21 at the Khodynka Ice Palace in Moscow, but in a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association urine test conducted April 27 in Chekhov, Russia, Povetkin tested positive for meldonium. The test results came to light Friday when the VADA sent letters to both camps and the WBC, whose title Wilder holds, disclosing them. 

Wilder and his team have been in Sheffield, England, for the past two weeks training and adjusting to several hours of time difference. They were scheduled to fly to Moscow on Sunday afternoon but did not board their flight and were making plans to return to the United States despite having not heard from the WBC on the matter, a member of Wilder's team told ESPN.com...

There is a lot of money at stake. Based on Ryabinsky's winning purse bid of $7.15 million, Wilder was due $4,504,500 to Povetkin's $1,930,500 with the remaining 10 percent -- $715,000 -- going to the winner. With no fight, the purses won't be paid and a lawsuit is likely to ensue; Wilder's purse is sitting in escrow in a United States bank, according to his camp...

Boxer Tyson Fury Complains About Steroids Use In Sports At Wladimir Klitschko Pre-Fight Press Conference


Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury at press conference

British heavyweight boxing champion, Tyson Fury, 27, who is set to face WBA, WBO and IBF world champion, Ukrainian pugilist Wladimir Klitschko, 39, this Saturday in Dusseldorf, Germany. During a press conference and interviews this week, Fury sounded off on a number of things. The jokes were in abundance as Fury tried to irritate Klitschko by leaning over and whispering in his ear "Ooh, you smell nice" then proclaiming to the press that his rival "Smelt of perfume. Women's perfume."

On a more serious subject, Fury has gone on record complaining about the use of steroids in sports. Fury stated in an interview this week, "I can look at a man and tell you if he's full of drugs by one glance at his body with his top off. Boxing has got a big problem with drugs. Why don't they make drugs totally legal in sports and then it would be fully fair? You can't tell me these sports people aren't taking drugs when they look like Greek gods. You can train for 100 years and your body will never look like that. But if a man wants to pump himself full of drugs it's only shortening his life."


Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury at press conference

Fury complained that he trains often and his body does not look chiseled. Fury stated, "I’ve trained all my life, I’m fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world. But my body is like jelly, it’s a natural body you see" (LOL). Fury has shaped up thanks to a new trainer. He looks firmer, slightly thinner and a bit more defined, but by no means does he have a very muscular body.

Some thought Fury was calling Klitschko "Drago" from the "Rocky IV" film, regarding the Russian boxer who was pumped full of steroids ('Rocky IV' Highlights The Advantages Of Contrasting Training Methods). When pressed about his steroids comments to the BBC, with some wondering out loud if it was a dig at Klitschko, who is very muscular, well defined and solid, Fury stated the comment was meant in general. 


The character "Drago" from the "Rocky IV" film

Steroids and all forms of performance enhancing drugs should not be legalized in sports. It is very dangerous for the health. As stated in past columns (Steroids Shortens Your Penis And Life), steroids wreaks havoc on the heart (and the penis, which women will not be happy about LOL). Studies have confirmed these facts. So many wrestlers and bodybuilders that have used steroids died young from heart attacks. It's not worth it.

If steroids were legalized it would lead to greater consumption, whereas now drug cheats are trying to hide it by only using it at certain times. Steroids are poison. Pumping that into one's body frequently will promote heart attacks and cancer. Nothing beats hard work and doing things the right way.

Legalise drugs in sport, says world title challenger Tyson Fury

Posted on: 05:19 PM IST Nov 24, 2015 - Tyson Fury, the British heavyweight boxer who fights for the world title in Germany on Saturday, says boxing has a "big problem" with doping and that the only way to combat it is to make drugs legal in all sports. In the latest in a round of interviews publicising his challenge for Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko's three world titles in Dusseldorf at the weekend, the controversial Fury said he could tell if any sportsman had been doping...

Robert Smith, general secretary of the British Boxing Board of Control, told the BBC on Tuesday that he did not believe doping was a major problem in the sport. A statement from board said it was "committed in its fight against drug use in professional boxing" and has "an extensive programme of out-of-competition testing and in-competition testing."

Manny Pacquiao Releases Song For MegaFight But Will Floyd Mayweather Do So As Well (Videos)


Filipino boxing superstar, Manny Pacquiao, has released a touching music video entitled "Lalaban Ako Para Sa Filipino" in honor of the people of the Philippines, ahead of his fight against undefeated American superstar, Floyd Mayweather. Pacquiao has released successful albums in the Philippines and has used his talents to record for the May 2, 2015 Mayweather fight in Las Vegas.


In the other corner is Floyd Mayweather. The question is will Floyd release a song and video for the fight. Floyd, please dont' release a video of your "ho*s" twerking (LOL). You could redo "Living In America" by the late music legend James Brown, which was featured in the film "Rocky 4."

Floyd Mayweather And Manny Pacquiao Go 'Rocky' (Video)

Top boxers Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are currently in training camp preparing for the biggest bout of their professional careers. The pugilists are scheduled to square off on May 2, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada in what is being billed the fight of the century.


Floyd Mayweather chopping wood

Both Mayweather and Pacquiao posted items on social networking that are a throwback to the boxing movie "Rocky." Mayweather released a video of himself chopping wood in the backyard of his Las Vegas mansion. People on social networking began comparing it to movie scenes from  "Rocky IV" where the lead character opted for natural training (For background information see last year's Judiciary Report article "'Rocky IV' Highlights The Advantages Of Contrasting Training Methods").


Manny Pacquiao tweets song title "The Eye Of The Tiger"

Pacquiao tweeted an item on the social networking website Twitter, featuring himself working out in the gym and added the words "The Eye Of The Tiger" which is the title of the massive, multi-platinum 1982 hit song taken from the "Rocky III" soundtrack, performed by talented group Survivor. The "Rocky IV" soundtrack also contains the poignant 1985 Survivor hit "Burning Heart."

Side Bar: Manny loves to sing. He recently bought a Beverly Hills mansion that has a recording studio in it. Will Manny remake "The Eye Of The Tiger."


Side Bar 2: Floyd has been on FaceTime with NFL football star Tom Brady. Watch Tom try to convince Floyd to deflate his gloves. Signed, bitter Dolphins fan (I'm kidding).

Boxer Adrien Broner Says F**k Jay Z, Rihanna And Her P***y After The Rapper Pimps Her Out Again (Video)

Warning: video contains explicit language


It's no secret in the music industry that rapper Jay Z, who is a terrible businessman, starting companies on copyright theft and trademark infringement, has been pimping out his artists/mistresses Rihanna and Rita Ora to various men and women for career advancement in Hollywood. 

In the October 16, 2014 Judiciary Report article "Jay Z Is A Pimp (Rihanna And Rita Ora" the site stated Jay Z has been pimping out his artists Rihanna and Rita Ora to people, issuing sex in exchange for industry favors and business deals, which lead to money (see: prostitution). 

Jay Z was quoted by a very credible source as having stated regarding Rihanna being sent to have sex with a music producer "Go take care of him. He'll give you a song." Said producer/songwriter is one of several who began bragging in the entertainment industry about Rihanna performing oral sex on him and letting him penetrate her in exchange for songs.  


Jay Z and Rihanna

It is one of many incidents of Rihanna and Rita Ora being sent to industry people to perform sex acts in exchange for songs, movie roles and publicity for their careers. Rita Ora was also sent to have sex with an athlete Jay Z is trying to get to break his contract and sign with Roc Nation Sports. This is not how professionals do business. This is how criminals do business (Forbes Magazine Blasts Jay-Z For Breaking The Law In Poaching People’s Clients For Roc Nation Sports). Jay Z is behaving like a pimp and Rihanna and Rita Ora are acting like whores. Really, is this how your parents raised you all.

Yesterday, multimillionaire boxer, Adrien Broner, who is Floyd Mayweather's protégé, made scathing statements about Jay Z and Rihanna, indicating he tried to sign him for nothing and the only thing Rihanna is good for in the deal is "p***y" (sex). Broner said Jay Z has been sending people to him, rather than coming to speak to him and that he does not do business that way. However, Jay Z is a former crack cocaine drug dealer, who ran women as well (not to mention he is still bragging about that destructive conduct). 

Jay Z is no businessman. He's just pretending to be one. He's a common thug and thief, who is repeatedly dragged into court for stealing people's intellectual property (see: money). There are many credible copyright infringement and trademark lawsuits against Jay Z in America and all over the world.

 
Jay Z and Rita Ora

As previously stated on the site and Twitter, Jay Z, is trying to get into managing and promoting boxers, when he knows nothing about the sport or the intricacies that go into it. One of my credible sources responsible for some of my site exclusives that later proved completely true, labeled Jay Z an "idiot" stating his idea of boxing is a boxer watching the movie "Rocky" then going into the ring (LOL). 

There's so much more that goes into it. It's like going to war. Thorough training and extensive plans need to be drafted forming a game plan and targeting the rival boxer's game, style and weaknesses. And that's only half of it. 

The Judiciary Report has consistently maintained for the past year that Jay Z knows nothing about sports management and it is going to result in damage to athletes' careers. Leagues are already making rules designed to keep him out of their sports. He was also kicked out of the Brooklyn Nets in a paltry buyout for next to nothing (given less than $1,000,000 to leave a team worth $1 billion dollars). There is a reason. He doesn't know what he is doing. He is a pretender and a fraud.

'Rocky IV' Highlights The Advantages Of Contrasting Training Methods


Last night I saw “Rocky IV” again, which is an inspiring sports movie, molded on the career of undefeated boxer Rocky Marciano, who died in 1969 in a plane crash. “Rocky IV” showed a contrast between natural and technology based training methods, but which is better. 


Advances in science and technology have provided greater training capabilities to modern athletes in a variety of sports. Coaches are able to calculate their athletes progress in a more accurate and detailed manner. Injured athletes are also using technology for quicker recovery times. 


However, old fashion training methods are not to be discarded. It builds up a natural endurance, grit and roughness. The body benefits from challenging natural workout as well. A mix of natural and technology based training session for athletes can provide great results, taking advantage of the best of both worlds.
