Congratulations to the young boul Boots on a phenomenal fight but salute to Xander doing what most won’t, taking a chance chasing greatness, even in defeat you gave boxing what it’s been missing. 🫡
@FckitIdontcare2@Claressashields Xander is not experienced but will learn from this and hopefully get better. Still way too young and lots of improvement that can be made on his part. Xander fought the wrong fight. No need to go toe to toe w a harder hitting fighter specially if you don’t have power to equalize
@ChrisUniverse1@ReedIndeed01@notweddingcake@arielhelwani Exactly. He wasn’t able to fight his fight from the beginning. But still showed heart and gave Boots trouble in the 3rd. I think Zayas stock wasn’t hurt given he’s so young and was facing a great talent in Boots. Win win for both fighters imo and great fight for boxing.
@ReedIndeed01@notweddingcake@arielhelwani FOH! The guy has talent to fight w the top dawgs he showed it tonight. Great experience he can use to get better. The only downside to Zayas is he has no head movement and wants to bang a lot w mediocre punching power but the kid has tons of fighting left and room for improvement
One of my close friends started taking zinc in the morning, magnesium at night, and vitamin D+K2 with breakfast after his doctor told him to.
He did it literally for 30 days straight.
Then... no joke his personality did a complete 180
Walking with Jesus doesn’t guarantee an easier life, it doesn’t guarantee that things would always go our way. Sometimes God may send us into a storm, sometimes He may lead us into a valley. But it’s in those moment where we learn to trust Him and we learn to surrender, which isn’t easy. It’s in those moments where we can see how weak we are without Jesus and how much we need Him. God doesn’t abandon us in the storm or valley and He’s not working against us. He’s with us in every moment and He’s for us. In those moments, sometimes it’s hard to see what He’s doing, but we have to walk by faith and we have to hold on to His promises. The storms and the valleys that He takes us through at times are not meant to destroy us, but it’s to draw us closer to Him and to build us up into the man and the woman He’s calling us to be. Don’t let go, keep holding on!
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9
Jesus did not just die. He was brutally tortured: In 1986, the American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross.
In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, a condition caused by high levels of stress.
At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped.
A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him.
Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendons in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!
The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called a Pericardial effusion & the lungs is called a pleural effusion.
To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.
This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much that He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.
Jesus is King!
