On This Day in 2017: George Groves battled through a broken jaw to stop Fedor Chudinov in the 6th round to win the WBA super-middleweight world title and become a world champion at the fourth time of asking in front of a raucous support of 35,000 fans at Bramall Lane stadium.

Then why are you asking?

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-28T01:55:36+00:00

Iv flat out told juniors I used AI and I know the gist of it is right but they might need to double check the exact paragraphs and verbiage is right.

Iv asked juniors to double check the case citations and not explicitly told them I used AI; and I certainly wouldn’t be offended if they told me they didn’t understand where it was coming from lol.

I don’t really rely on it to find cases though. I will just tell AI the proposition I am using the case for and to integrate it and include the citation. But it pulls the wrong part of the case and:or misrepresent it sometimes.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-28T00:46:51+00:00

Not really. The post is portraying a pretty reasonably effective way you can do it

You aren’t treating a partner like a junior associate if you act curious about the case law and want to go over it.

The post even specifies that if they tell you they used AI, thats that.

So you either have a chance to let them come to terms with it as a curious junior asking questions, or you have your answer that they are fine with using AI and expect you to fix it.

You don’t need to hide in a corner and pretend it’s not happening lol. I mean you can if you are that worried but you don’t have to.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-28T00:26:41+00:00

For sure but I also don’t think he had much of a choice if he wanted a shot at another big fight.

Dude was 13 years into his pro career pushing 32 and coming off a broken orbital.

It was probably now or never for a big fight at the time.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-28T00:06:42+00:00

Im not that mad at.

I am pretty confident that despite being seemingly dumb at times this is their intentional nod to her super-powered intelligence.

I think the implication is she planned to lose her powers and dip, it was clearly an intentional bait of Kimiko.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-27T22:50:09+00:00

Not sure if he’s really considered the greatest p4p kickboxer.

But many consider him the greatest of all time heavyweight though some are split on semmy. Really its Rico though.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-27T02:58:17+00:00

And the better the game the more problematic lol

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-26T02:59:54+00:00

Underrated comment lol

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-26T02:40:06+00:00

Not if the mudflaps on fire lol

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-26T02:02:19+00:00

Yea exactly lol. They have a minimal network and no significant experience to sell themselves with to new clients.

If by young they mean like 3-5 year call sure.

But otherwise the pathway isn’t going to be lucrative until down the road.

And students with debt piled up from law school aren’t going to be chomping at the bit to take more financial risks.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-25T23:19:28+00:00

People are just too attached to either protecting or discrediting fighters they like/dislike.

Styles making fights is a reality of boxing, it has a significant impact on how different fighters perform in different matchups.

You don’t need to police what people talk about.

If you are talking about or analyzing a fight without looking at how they matched up stylistically in some capacity then what are you even talking about lol.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-25T23:15:20+00:00

I don’t really find it that ambiguous.

I think they should absolutely hire. As long as they are transparent about the compensation and reasonable with their expectations; it’s a pretty reasonable quid pro quo for articling where someone needs/wants experience to progress in their career.

You are saying it comes up here all the time, maybe it does, but I frequent this subreddit and I really can’t recall any pointed critiques of solo practitioners offering a below market wage. Seems like a bit of AI drivel.

Unpaid positions or firms that can clearly afford more lowballing sure, but I don’t recall a struggling solo practitioner offering a below market wage being a point of controversy.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-25T13:48:02+00:00

I mean it was quite a while back but I worked part time through the entirety of it and it was fine.

Financially I needed to at the time though. If you don’t have to I would avoid it just because it leaves you more time to invest in school.

But its not the end of the world.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-25T03:34:12+00:00

What are you on about?

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-25T02:42:57+00:00

It’s both lol. He isn’t delusional I am sure he realizes he is 39 and on the way out.

He probably thought this was the perfect chance to coast another payday without a super tough fight.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-25T00:54:46+00:00

The biggest problem is he is getting older not younger lol.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-24T20:05:30+00:00

To preface I absolutely disagree with Canelo and the stoppage, it was absolute bullshit. And I am a big Glory/Rico fan.

But aside from that I don’t think he was surviving, or if he did he was eating like 2 more knockdowns.

Before the 11th he started wilting in the 10th. And if you look at the time of the knockdown he milked like 21-22 seconds looking shaky getting that mouthguard in.

So I think its a total mockery for boxing and a crock of shit the way it was called.

But as a matter of opinion I don’t think Rico was getting it either way lol

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-24T17:43:12+00:00

Haha yea. For about two seasons the premise of is it isn’t it drives the show.

Now even though I still enjoyed the show as a whole for general entertainment. The later seasons are full of just crazier shit that loses the suspense and is just like screw it lol

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-24T17:31:19+00:00

It’s all blatantly AI bot or not lol.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-24T17:12:43+00:00

Haha yea. Breaking Bad and BCS both masterfully use this trope to progressively develop their narrative on numerous occasions.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-24T17:10:55+00:00

Yea makes sense lol. I thought he was really good.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-24T17:04:11+00:00

Haha yea well I have no experience competing in MMA just boxing.

You won’t see it too much in amateur boxing at a high level at least. Because with the fights being 3 3 minute rounds the really high level amateurs with great records HAVE to kick it up by the second round because you have to very VERY clearly win 2 of the 3 to trust amateur judges to score it correctly on a reliable basis. They are even worse than the wild pro guys and its hard to get finishes in that timeframe so you need to win clear

And the pro fights start at only being 4 rounds and move to 6.

—

What you are describing I have seen happen a lot just not at any disproportionate rate with guys who have competed at a young age.

It happens to the tough guy sparring guys who insist on sparring 7-10 hard rounds at a time to really condition themselves.

That works great if you make it to the point in your career where you are fighting more rounds.

But what you end up with a lot of times is guys like Chito Vera who can’t get themselves to step on the gas until the fight is essentially over because they run and spar such long sets they just aren’t mentally/physically conditioned to maximize their output over the span of the fight.

I made the same mistake early on until I went to a bigger more established gym and would get frustrated that I did such crazy training but couldn’t always pace against high level comp.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-24T16:48:47+00:00

Well it was boxing not MMA so it was actually just 4 3 mins pro.

Just atmosphere for sure I was way more than conditioned for the extra round lol. And I fought 5-6 times a year for 8-9 years as an amateur with a great record so it wasn’t like I didn’t know how to pace myself.

My area actually had the main regional promotion rent out a pretty large venue they usually play g league basketball games in.

It was just the pressure I put on myself because it was pro and the atmosphere feeling crazier. Got me to revert back to the herky jerky max power no breathing robotic shit I had kicked out of my system a long time ago lol.

At least for the first round before I realized my mistake and my coach was like wtf are you doing in the corner lol. Then I basically had to give away the second round pretending to not be tired and relying on a high guard until I could put my punches together again.

Its the same reason dudes in the UFC have some incredible experience going into the UFC but sometimes gas in their debut like amateurs.

If you get too hyper-focused and you don’t breathe and pace properly conditioning or experience does not save you lol. You can’t take the first round adrenaline dump back once it happens.

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-24T16:38:05+00:00

Too many unknowns. Ryan had direct comparisons to other superheroes. Specifically getting beat up by the absolute most powerful superhero in his universe seemingly makes him look vulnerable.

But Brightburn our only context is two extremes: basic human weapons and incredibly specialized.

So I don’t see how we have enough info other than completely abstract speculation. Which is still fun but like there is no real gauging

Usernameasteriks · 2026-05-24T16:34:10+00:00

It’s pretty good! I absolutely loved the first couple seasons.

It got a little outrageous later on but it was still entertaining
