Where you watching? Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto

Mayweather vs Cotto

One the most anticipated international fights this year was held this past Saturdat at the MGM Grand Arena; Las Vegas.

It seemed to be the toughest fight for Mayweather to date, with Miguel catching Floyd in the face to the point of his nose leaking. lol. But Money turned up the heat and started beating Cotto like he tapped his girl or something.

Mayweather won the fight so what some says was hands down.

And we all know that the casualties are usually women and children, who are in some place prohibited from learning.

it is especially becoming an issue in the workplace, as some people may actually have the technical skills to do the job, but illiteracy stop them from being able to understand what their job tasks are.

The 8th of September is International Literacy Day. So pick up a book or two…Do it for the kids!
