That's a big cap lol. I've been taking care of mine for a while, it's not hard at all. Stressful maybe when they're acting all crazy and being loud, but not difficult. Just need a routine.

@williamjordan9237 Рік тому

Fighter's having girls is called the Fighter's Curse. I think it's the Fighter's Blessing. I have a daughter and the closest thing to being a fighter is when my dog snatched the last big bite of a burrito out my hands at the park. I just ran after her till I had heartburn and gave up, waddling back to my daughter who was laughing and clapping her hands. Let's go Benil!

@garybesaw Рік тому

So true. Just a great example of a great person all around. Other dudes would be having a fit and throwing a tantrum on social media for not getting a title fight but Beneil just stays true to himself and just keeps asking for a fight and a title fight at that which he deserves.

@ZakariaOuahabi312 Рік тому

I think that you're the one who should get your brain checked. Just because someone is kind, it doesn't mean that people will like him. It's about personality, non verbal communication and behavior. It's not just about kindness. He could be perceived as weakness sometimes or boring.

@youtubeconnollyfamily Рік тому

Honestly, I have not heard anyone say they don’t like him. What is there not to like lol. He’s awesome. He should not have to fight again and just automatically get the winner.
