may have been self defence on her partners part.... women abuse their partners too.. hes 66 and an old man shes 42 and a top boxer...
ReplyWe fully wish Christy Martin all the very best in a full and speedy recovery - get well soon, Christy!! ALSO we hope the husband will be found and severely punished for his heinous actions.
ReplyShe was an awesome fighter and one of my daughters heroes. Hope she recovers well.
ReplyWhy is it necessary to draw attention to the fact that she was 'female'...?
