Well Green, we can definitely agree Villante is wasted potential. I believe he had a good wrestling career or good background iirc.

I thought it was a browser thing at first when I was talking with Gregory about this about a couple months ago.  I just thought it was on my end.

Jake has some spectacular KO losses, they might even outshine his own KO's

He's probably not completely recovered from that Perry elbow murder.

Jake, please please please please retire.  It’s sad to watch. Love ya bro but you’re done. 

That said, gotta love Killa B. He’s got real love for the game. Passionate fan friendly fighter and fan. Go take a few bong hits, bro. You’ve earned it.
