Good for him for getting the opportunity and a nice paycheck, but....The only notable opponent on Booker's resume is Ammo Williams. And we all know how that went.

Anyone in their teens or early 20's that is screwing up, I can see giving them a chance to turn it around. It is better for the justice system, society, and the individual if they can. So few young men making decisions about drugs and guns actually turn it into something productive, but it is fantastic to hear it when it happens. Booker has already won in life. Anything good that happens in the ring is just bonus.

This country would do itself a huge favor by moving away from a punishment model to a rehabilitation model for non violent crime. Ruining a young mans future is a worse crime than selling some crack in my opinion.
