After all the noise he made on twitter, that’s why it’s not good to boast about a match you have not won yet, hopefully he will come out stronger In the rematch. Two Nigerians lost their belts in one Night.

Humility is a lost virtue amongst Nigerians, my brother. Don't sweat it. Kamaru deserves the sucker-punch.
Tinubu and APC will meet the same fate come February.

Really sad and painful.

The downfall of a man is not the end of his life.

Nigeria and Nigerians are going through a lot at the moment.

Lets vote wisely in 2023 . Nigeria shall rise again.
And revolt against INEC manual transmission

If it is allowed to stay, then it's APC victory

You can vote wisely, they will use 'eraser' to clean it out

Do u know that Kamaru won 3 rounds?,,,u re here talking nonsense..

grin grin You should learn to take life for what it is. For a person to win, time and chance favoured him. For another person to lose, time and chance did not favour him. Kamaru was not born as a champion from his mother's womb, and Edwards was not born a loser from his mother's womb.
When it is anybody's time to shine, time and chance will favour the person. You better accept it or forgerrittt. grin
I wish Kamaru a better luck next time.

he dominated 4 of the rounds. He was just a minute away from victory before the head kick came from no where. He was caught unguard.

Yeah a loss is a loss. Never be caught offguard even if it is for a second.

Kamaru won all rounds leading up to the finals round and got knocked out with that devilish kick. Should have stayed far away from Edwards.

This further shows your unpatriotic and insincere mindset. How can you use this instance to compare your impending failure at the polls?

Usman underrated Edwards and got served.

Usman yesterday VS Usman today after being destroyed.

Same fate awaits those underrating our Incoming President Peter Obi

That's mma mehn! So unpredictable
At just a tinkle of an eye, a guy is slept into shadow realm for good.

sharap there, y re u dragging AJ as a Nigerian whereas he's British , u won't develop ur country but once someone goes abroad and realizes his potential, u start claiming him, abi is he a property u claim, if AJ was he Nigeria God knows he may not have realized his potential, he would av been at best, a boxer with so much potential to be a global champion the same way Nigeria as a nation is, a nation like Camelot thats kindly remembered for what it could've been

But AJ is claiming Nigeria too. No?

What's happening na? Did buhari call these guys before their fights?
Did President Buhari call Tobi Amusan and all the Nigerian athletes who won gold medals, silver medals and bronze medals this year more than the previous years in the history of Nigeria?
So, President Buhari is blessed.

[b]For Nigeria, the year 2022 should be dedicated to Nigerian athletes, men, and women alike. Their feat, prowess and a bit of success in the World Athletics Champions held in Eugene, Oregon in the USA from July 15, 2022, to July 24, 2022, and then the spectacular successes at the XXII Commonwealth Games held in Birmingham, United Kingdom, from July 28 to August 8, 2022, held the attention of our suffering and desolate, hopeless, and despondent, harassed, and insecure Nigerians. At least they lifted our spirits and once again, brought some forlorn hope that if we put our efforts, patriotism and internal prejudices and distrust aside, we could really swing it as a united and prosperous nation, people, and society.

The games were the largest ever held, with 72 participating nations and ticket sales of 1.2 million. The games were the first to have more events for women than men.

At the end of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on Sunday, August 7, Team Nigeria amassed 12 gold, nine silver and 14 bronze medals, bringing the numbers to a total of 35 medals. Interestingly, at a time when Nigeria was most divided, nobody was asking where the athletes are from or what ethnic group or religion they belong to. None of that nonsense that has pervaded our lives for the past eight years.
