Champion James ‘Savage’ Hagler Talks Family Legacy & More

 

One can only hope that a lifetime of athletic training would get them a hint of success. Luckily, this has come true for champ, James “Savage” Hagler Jr. As a child, his parents saw a future for him in football, enrolling him in the sport at a young age. They were supportive of him becoming the athlete of their dreams, but he made a turn where they didn’t expect. Hagler Jr moved to Alabama and began to box professionally at the age of 24.

 

He uncovered his dream of taking on the ring and began to meet extreme measures to ensure fortune. In 2016, he boxed in the Alabama Golden Globes after losing 65 pounds by committing to an intense vegan diet. It was the young buck’s first fight, so he lost but not without learning a valuable lesson. He discovered that he must accept that patience was not only a virtue, but something he had to apply to his own life.

In his spare time, James enriches his heart with volunteering his time to his community. In local high schools, he is speaking and providing programs to struggling youths. He encourages them to ‘Put Their Hands Up and the Guns Down’ to show them there is another way of life that does not involve illegal activity. He sincerely wants them to be the best they could be, as his parents did for him.

 

The Hagler legacy is one that strikes great importance to James. He plans to uphold the sparkling Hagler reputation by continuing the elevate himself as time goes on. In the next year, he is looking forward to a year-long boxing campaign that he put together. Every quarter, James will take on another champion in the ring and he hopes his fans will cheer for him along the way. The fighter can be followed on any of his social media profiles under @jameshaglerjr.

Antonio Brown Questions LeBron’s Cool As Kevin Gates Courtside Chaos Unfolds

Honk Magazine

After Kevin Gates lit up the internet by questioning Savannah James’s support for her husband LeBron James, Antonio Brown is now questioning what LeBron will do next. In an instant that had people in double takes, Antonio Brown has thrown himself into a conversation nobody saw coming. By this point, momentum had reached a fever pitch, so Kevin Gates decided to rock the boat by going on record to say he didn’t like how people in Savannah’s hometown “viewed” LeBron and preferred receiving admiration from “white women.”

The responses rolled in in no time, Savannah shaded Gates casually with a Nicki Minaj meme, LeBron hit back by way of a poetic Instagram caption reminding us that “kings don’t concern themselves with the opinions of peasants.” But as soon as the dust settled, Gates surfaced courtside at the Lakers vs. Timberwolves playoff game unbothered and unfiltered alongside Brittany Renner. He looked like something people might whisper about in awe around the NFL. Brown, not being one to avoid controversy himself, also wondered why LeBron would have not only let Gates sit so up close and center but also so at such a high-profile game after that disrespectful comment.

This tension is about more than who sat where, but about a larger message. To others, LeBron’s lack of reaction and evenness of expression are a sign of peace. To some, Brown’s point of view raises a valid concern about boundaries and respect and the power of celebrity-based politics. We don’t know the verdict yet, but people are talking about this spicy crossroad of music, sports, and social media. When big names duke it out, the court isn’t the only arena where the temperature rises. Brown’s take may not be game-changing, but it’s written an entirely new chapter in this strange courtside story.

Simone Biles Soars to Historic Sixth Gold, A Gymnastics Legend’s Golden Triumph

Simone Biles

Simone Biles has etched her name into the history books once again, clinching her sixth Olympic gold medal in the women’s all-around final. This monumental achievement makes her the first American gymnast to reach such a pinnacle. Biles narrowly edged out Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, who took silver, and her teammate Suni Lee, who secured bronze.

At 27, Biles has become the oldest all-around Olympic champion since Maria Gorokhovskaya in 1952 and joins an elite group as only the third woman to win multiple golds in this event. Despite a hiccup on the uneven bars, Biles dazzled on the balance beam and floor, overcoming a confidence-shaking mistake. “I was praying to every single God out there trying to refocus and recenter myself,” Biles confessed, adding a touch of humor about her uneven bars performance.

The gymnastics star debuted a new silver GOAT necklace, a nod to her status as the Greatest of All Time, embracing both the adoration and criticism it brings. “It’s crazy that I am in the conversation of ‘Greatest of all athletes,’” Biles said, reflecting on her extraordinary journey from Spring, Texas to Olympic glory.
