what's ":mjpls:" stands for, I've seen some users use it to describe a thing with it but what's that?
Is that racism? And if so why the MJ smiley pictures it?

It means "no nikkas" and that smiley is from the Jordan Hanes commercial when he's on the airplane. The no nikkas thing come from how MJ told Chamillionaire "I dont take pictures with no nikkas" and also the perception how MJ is kinda :mjpls: to black people but will always take pictures and muck it up with non black people.

Danny Garcia goes in on Keith Thurman.....says Amir Khan is better than Thurman; Thurman was always getting out-boxed back in the days & Khan would beat him; Thurman's overhyped & just a regular fighter who walks around 200lbs & cuts:whoo:

In speaking about Amir Khan, Garcia said, “[He’s a] way better fighter than Keith Thurman, Bro. Olympic silver medalist. He fought everybody. Battle tested. Keith Thurman got one or two fights on his resume. I respect him because he’s a champion, but I don’t know who he beat for the belt. I don’t know who he beat for the WBA belt. Do you know?” said Garcia.

Danny Garcia: Khan is a better fighter than Thurman - Boxing News
When asked if he’s going to beat Thurman up on March 4, Garcia said, “I am. I think he’d [Amir Khan] out-box him [Thurman]. He’s actually more talented than him. Keith just became a good boxer. In the amateurs, he was a slugger. They moved his career good. In the amateurs, he was a slugger. He’d move forward and throw bombs and everybody would out-box him. So I guess in the pros, he became a boxer. On March 4th, we got to do what we got to do and that’s win. I’m more battle-tested than him. Honestly, I don’t see what people see. I see boxing differently than a lot of people. He’s just regular to me at the end of the day. I’ve seen him a couple of times. He looks like 200 pounds. I’m not really worried about him. I got to go in there and be Danny Garcia,” said Garcia.

Thanks, I don't follow basketball and I'm also not American so I wouldn't have guessed the background .

For me Ward is the fighter of the year and I don't understand (I mean I do but if I only want to understand through boxing logic then not) why don't more fans/journalists think the same.

He has the best win in 2016. Period. That trumps everything else for me. Yes, even if it was a close fight. A win is a win, beating Kovalev is still better than beating LSC, Quigg, Roman or Walters... no disrespect to Loma and Frampton though cause they had a great year too.

Now if the Ward vs Kovalev fight would have been a downright robbery I'd understand why the majority is hesitant to name him fighter of the year but it's not the case so I think the agendas and bias also play a big part here.

Nobody accomplished more than Ward in 2016, period.
You can think that he didn't win but I think the official ruling (except if there's a robbery) should be respected and Ward definitely should get more respect than what he gets now. People basically blaming him now for the judges got him.

@yoyoyo1

I've also seen you posting memes about Ward getting gifts and such

Would you explain why you hating on Ward?

Do you respect the fact he actually dared to move up and challenge Kovalev?
Do you respect him for fighting his way back in the fight - regardless of your opinion on the final scoring - after that horrible start and the knockdown where the majority thought it will be over for him in 2 more rounds?

Also, even if you saw a robbery (I don't know how anyone could see that but w/e, just hypothetically) how the official ruling is his fault?
For what you exactly blame Ward for?
Should he apologize for all the Kovalev fans in the world cause not their favorite won?

Khan can't even outbox Algieri, but he can outbox Thurman :mjlol:

The minute he gets caught by a decent punch, he'll be on ice skates.

Khan is more proven cuz he has a better resume, but he ain't better than Thurman.

and I'm not surprised by those Paulie tweets. Dude acts entitled as fukk. He talks about getting chances, but he forgets how many chances he was given even with that boring basic ass style he has.

I can't think of a more boring fighter that has been given as many tv dates as Paulie.

Used to run like crazy, one day will get back into it. Even did a marathon back a bit.

Running is about the mental side and consistency. I can't run for shyt on a treadmill, even if there is a TV. Too boring. I need to be outside with scenery and headphones. I think most people don't just start running and enjoy it or have it feel easy. Once you mentally have yourself ready to run you have to be consistent and keep running on a continual basis. Your stamina, lungs, and muscles all get better the more you do it, so it seems easier physically and gets mentally easier. If you run a few times then don't come back for a week or two, it literally can feel like starting over.

If you can do it consistently and don't even worry about doing crazy distances, just a couple miles you will build up your tolerances and before you know it you will off and going. I used to hate the first mile or two because I needed to get fully in the groove and miles done after that were actually easier for me.

Also wouldn't recommend doing big runs because you want a good workout if you know your body hasn't built up to it. Running involves the movement of your whole body and technique is really important. When you get too tired your technique will suffer and thats when you start noticing you develop foot, shin, knee, hip, or back issues. I can trace almost all my physical pains due to running because I didn't warm up properly or I was running when my body didn't want to run anymore. You learn to push yourself when you know you can get more out of yourself like lifting weights, but when your body is physically giving up, time to cut the workout off as you will just hurt something.

runners high is very real...it clears your head like a motherfukker and you zone out...thats one of those benefits that kept my running motivation up...as i mentioned the only reason i was flirting with doing 4 miles was because I was cutting weight big time..back then it was 3 miles regularly..and i was a treadmill runner...speed interval running..hard running on that treadmill...thats the shyt right there that gets some speed in your legs...and i do that over long distances..the only injuries i picked up from running was shin splints (which i havent got in about 7 years) and a slightly dislocated ankle off a misstep...now its funny today im an outside runner..i do that shyt when its hot or cold out and i love it..in the morning i go out and jog around the neighborhood before i go into the office; in the evening i hit the treadmill or run outside the office park that my gym is located in..i just dont run as hard i used to..my legs can't take doing that 4 days in a row anymore lol..believe me ive learned my lesson of listening to your body the hard way

He better hype himself up because Thurman isn't Fetty Wap & Swift marks up easily.
