And beat the #1 boxer in the US, Errol Spence. He was defending GG champion and also won the US Nationals last year at 152lbs. Great victory for Grayton.
CONGRATS GRAYTON!!!! YOU FINALLY MADE IT RIGHT BEFORE YOUR HATERS EYES!!
Grayton is the man! Beat the best while his home-boy haters were watching ringside. Stay at 141 if you know what's good for you.

I heard the comments coming from the red corner side while Grayton was boxing. It's a damn shame! Same shit happened in Tenn. Get tolerfied if you like but the truth is Grayton is doing well and I advise no one to move up to his class. Not trying to be a computer thug/bully but it's the truth. Grayton is a bonafide 152 pounder.
I will say it again with no harm intended, no 165's should come down and no 141'a should move up.
Yes DC,MD,VA,NC have good boxers at those particular weight classes but they need to stay there. Sorry if we got in your head, it's just frobitourious and we mean it. Nothing against the weight classes above or under the 152 pound weight class. None of us are suffering from mild retardation, and I doubt that you are either.
You are just a fan like the rest of us and again we apologize to each and everyone that we offended.
I hope all the boxers continue to good. Arkansas is not the busiest city, but the food and people are great and if all goes well. Next year will be even better. By the way, read this morning sport section and you may get a better understanding to what I was saying.
Ok. East Coast-have a great day"
No problem Cruz, I knew what u were saying. I feel the same was about some other weight classes, but I better keep that to myself.
Issac, look at 3o second cell phone video and tell me what you think. Now about the shorts.LOL
Shorts are hilarious-that's East Coast style. Issac you need to get yourself a pair. Just get them extra long with an extra slim waist you lucky bastard.
Whatever, they look better than the booty shorts you guys wear
scolyp-you got jokes. how many people you gonna rub the wrong way today? Think about Hawkins/now what r u gonna do?
The comment/threat was made directed to a certain weight class that's where the "hater" on your part comes in. Maybe if you had generalized it would have sounded better like the gentleman's comment under mine. David has accomplished a great feat as well as all the other winners and what's great is someone else from his region won too. I've seen David come a loooooong way and very proud for him. That's just ignorant to try to pit two temporary teammates or young men from the same area against each other. That's some personal sh*t that you have. Bottom line PVA represented very well....
Again, we apologize for the words we chose. We will not back off saying the Grayton just beat the number 1 guy in the USA and each and every boxer should consider on moving up or down because of Grayton. Think about it, when is the last time he was beaten? The young man is a true warrior. Anyway, good luck to you all, coaches, boxers, officials, and fans.
Didn't Grayton just lose in the USA's???
^^^^ YEAH HE DID BUT I SEEN HIM IN THE GYM EVERYDAY SINCE THAT CLOSE LOST AND WORKING HARDER THEN I EVER SAW HIM SO WATCH OUT... AND KEEP HATING THE RATINGS ARE REALLY GETTING UP THERE... LAMO
im sure dayday will get him back soon like he did others lls ...
@JOHN I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT ONE.STAY FOCUS DAYDAY AND KEEP DOING YOU.
CONGRATS DAYDAY & ALLEN
