    Love to hear war stories. On the same wave length, complete overstanding. I'm glad to hear someone give tribute and props to those fallen soldiers & worriers who never made it to the social position, as say B-Hop. I have seen a lot of talent from rappers to boxers and all else kept underground by the penitentiary never allowed to reach their full potential or be discovered. I would share the video, but I have no friends.

He had a beef with a good friend of mine, and knocked him out with one punch. Had 100 pounds on him. Was still always cool with him though. Haven’t seen him in a long long time hoping he is alive and well. Blessings bro.

Because it’s during those ‘playful’ painful battles that you knew who, and who you could NOT play with. 💯 Lost art.. now these males can’t even throw a punch correctly! So much murder.. 😒🤦🏾‍♂️

    I know you from back then.
    I’m from 29 & Jefferson
    (J-St.) 💪🏾
    We were really cordial, we never hung out but when we saw each other it was respect.
    I had 2 homies, neither were pro boxers, but could just Fight like a Muh fucka.
    Norf Side 👊🏾
    One of them beat Tut in a street fight and one beat Mildred Taylor in a street fight.
    My man Rusty (5-2) from Gratz street gave Mildred Taylor the BUSINESS on the corner of Broad & Girard Ave. at the William Penn girls high let out. The late 80’s It was crowded like a concert, I look up and 5-2 was hitting Taylor with a BEAUTIFUL combination.
    Wobbled Mildred in front of Everybody and Mildred had just won the belt.
    My Man did it on purpose just to show that he could beat a professional boxer 🥊.
    5-2 was a spectacular boxer too, but like you said, that Crack money had us All Out of our minds back then. We were reckless teens who were big as grown men, but had more money. 🙂
    Me & Tut were cool too, I used to come party with them in strawberry mansion.
    A friend of mine from College Wall was at a party in tut’s hood and a disagreement about a FEMALE 🤷🏾‍♂️ ensued.
    Tut thought my homie was a nut and tried to man handle him. I knew Tut was one hell of a boxer and thought 💭 “Damn, Tyrone about to get his ass whooped.”
    But to Mine and EVERYBODY’S surprise,….. “Ty Beat the Shit outta Tut in a one on one.”
    Tyrone had never boxed 🥊 in his Life, but he COULD fight. He fuck’d Tut up in front of hundreds of people.
    Tut’s homies from Strawberry Mansion (about 15 niggas) had to JUMP Ty to get him off Tut ass. Tut sucker punched him, thinking he would go down.
    But instead, Ty eyes got big 👀 and he commenced to overwhelm Tut with fast, hard punches 👊🏾 that had Tut about to go down.
    That’s when the bum rush came into play. Tut was My Man, but he got outclassed by a pedestrian that Night.
    Couple weeks later, he passed away.
    Those were the days. ❤️

      Yo Champ!
      Great to hear you're doing well and you're still healthy and have all your wits.
      I enjoyed your accounts of the Tutt and Meldrick street fights. A lot of boxers got their asses handed to them, sleeping on guys in the street. I've always yell folks, there's no shortage of good fighting MF'ers the world over.
      I see you have a channel, so if you want to get together on some projects, I'm up for it.

      By the way, this is my best video, because it gets a steady flow of views and feedback.
      Finally, thanks for your time and thoughts family.
      Salute!
