    You could have also added recent footage of the propane fire in Toronto. The explosion was crazy! Enough that some people’s home’s are a write off.

    I’m a big time boxing fan and Augustus\Burton was the best of the best when it came to trading blows. The showmanship got him into huge trouble and lost him a lot of fights. Which is sad to say the least. Many judges and refs would subtract points for his antics.
