Dominic Wade! DC Urban Sports wishes you the best. I remember that brief interview you granted me at the JB/NFL Player Association Awards dinner last year where you shared that Floyd Mayweather was your favorite boxer.
ReplyDeleteI asked you what you wanted your fans to know about you, and you humbly and shly replied, “Not much. I’m just me.”
Well, you proudly represent you, and all the Beltway boxers while you’re in Russia doing your thing!
Good luck!
Good luck domo!I no your going to represent and fight hard! Just do you and youll be fine champ!!!!
ReplyDeleteDominic Wade has withdrawn from the dual meet in Russia because of a twisted ankle, according to trainer Adrian Davis. -- J.S.
ReplyDeleteAw, man! Sorry to learn of this. Is there a web site confirming this info?
ReplyDeleteDigital? Any word on confirmation?
ReplyDeleteI would think if it came from J.S. it's a definite for certain.
ReplyDeleteIt's true. I think he'll be back in a couple of days. Also heard that Estrada has been cleared by doctors to return. Word was Dom had a shot and being placed on the Olympic team if he had a good showing. Was a great opportunity, but hopefully it won't be the last. keep ur head up Domo!!!
