Braddock put on a good fight, although his manager let him in the ring with a broken wrist.
After following the Frazier loss with 10 victorious fights, Ali lost a 12-round decision to Ken Norton, who broke Ali's jaw (Riley). Ali would later beat Norton in a rematch in 1973. The biggest rematch of Ali's career was his next fight vs. Joe Frazier. This Ali-Frazier fight would not live up to the expectations that had been so loudly set for it. Ali went on to win the fight in a unanimous decision, knocking down Frazier in the 7th round and again in the 10th.
This was a great win under his belt because of the fact that he was the heavyweight champion now. Some fighters felt that he should not have had the chance to fight for the belt but Brock simply said “this is a business I bring publicity so they can get over it.” Then he
Yet I believe that people don’t truly see this or believe in this until they have been affected by adversity in their paths. Adversity can come in numerous different forms and it can be very damaging and irreparable, however if it is survived it may help as that extra boos that was needed to reach above what others have said we can or can’t do. One of these cases is the one of Fernando Montiel, a boxer from Mexico.

However Montiel didn’t allow this negativity and other’s attitudes and thoughts to go to his head and affect him.

It was a poor community; crops were not often grown for profit, but for merely sustaining the lives of many in one household. Nujood’s family was forced out of the town as a result of Nujood’s sister, Mona, refused to marry a man there, and their father drew his jambia out of anger.

Season 4 of the telvision program of the Wire explains why public education is such a crucial but frequently (and frustratingly) ignored aspect of our urban society. In the beginning of the season, the show allows us to grow close to a group of four young boys living in West Baltimore. We have hope that they'll be able to thrive as the blossom into adulthood. By the end of the season, the show crushes these hopes by juxtapositioning several stark, powerful images; a closed school full of dead bodies (themselves, pulled from vacant houses, linking crime directly to a lack of funding towards education and general economic poverty). And a recently elected mayor decides to favor his personal political ambition over the needs of the school district,
