Mike Perry lost his fight and his job in the same night. “Platinum” was pieced up and put away by celebrity boxer Jake Paul in the main event of the “Fear No Man” pay-per-view (PPV) card last Sat. night in Tampa, a sixth-round shellacking that made the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) bruiser look amateurish, at best.

Conor McGregor, part owner of BKFC, fires Mike Perry after TKO loss to Jake Paul, ‘Platinum’ responds

As much as I wanted to believe in the unlikely underdog tale of a Mike Perry upset win over Jake Paul, there was never an actual moment of belief. Perry should never be counted out of a fist fight because of his grit and durability, but the very obvious problem here was size.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.

Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

(BPT) - Sponsored by Adaptimmune Therapeutics. Megan was 12 years old, an active student-athlete, and an enthusiastic member of her cheerleading squad when she first started experiencing what she described as a “weird zing” of pain in her right shoulder. Over the following years, she saw multiple doctors who attributed the sensation to adolescent growth, frozen shoulder or sports-related injuries. But the pain never went away.By her sophomore year in college, Megan’s debilitating pain was only getting worse — to the point where she could no longer sleep through the night — despite years of X-rays, physical therapy and prescription painkillers."I didn't feel like I was being listened to when I described the pain and symptoms," said Megan. "Doctors assumed a young, healthy woman with pain probably just had a bruise or something. Not cancer."It wasn’t until a physical therapist accompanied Megan to a doctor's appointment and insisted on an MRI that Megan got her answer: the true cause of her pain was a soft tissue tumor the size of a tennis ball in her shoulder. A biopsy confirmed it was synovial sarcoma.What is synovial sarcoma?Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft-tissue cancer that typically presents as a painful lump around the knee, hip, ankle or shoulder, most commonly affecting people under age 40.[1,2] But because the range of symptoms can mimic other conditions, synovial sarcoma is often misdiagnosed.Symptoms may include a painless lump underneath the skin, sudden sharp pains and an area of swelling.[3]Coping with her diagnosisEarly diagnosis of synovial sarcoma is crucial, as it can significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates. However, if the disease has metastasized (spread) by the time it is diagnosed, the five-year survival rate for patients is approximately 20%.[2,4]While Megan’s diagnosis was devastating, she felt fortunate that — despite the years-long diagnosis journey — her tumor had not metastasized. She began treatment immediately with Dr. John Charlson at the Medical College of Wisconsin, a specialized sarcoma medical center. It was a grueling regimen of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, but Megan has now been in remission for five years.

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

Two immigrants from south of the border told the City Council Monday they were harassed when using hotel vouchers for shelter in Denver. Speaking through an interpreter, Leivy Ortega and Henry Aguilar said they received vouchers for hotel stays from an unnamed non-profit. But they had problems using the vouchers, they said. Ortega said she came to Denver from Connecticut and lived in her car for 15 days. She received a three-day hotel voucher, she said, but hotel staff initially would not honor it. She did not name the hotel. She said staff finally looked at her paperwork and gave her a room, but they wanted to charge her. for it. She said they initially weren’t going to allow her to stay because she has a service animal.
