Despite his raw style, he combined heavy punches with aggressiveness as he coasted to victory over Sharp.

Before you try to fool online as a therapy for things not going right in your life, ask yourself

"Seth Gyimah is using his hunger to drive his anger to defeat his unfortunate state,
Am I channeling my anger to the right place that will change my hunger or I can explain?" https://t.co/0DPBy1dznr
