Morrison (21-3, 15 KOs) started off fast, using his jab well and controlling the center of the ring. Blandamura (29-4, 5 KOs) a former two-time EBU European and WBC International silver middleweight champion was unable to find success with the jab but did score when he lunged in with hooks to the body.

This is true especially in Oregon, which just had one of its driest springs in almost a century. While water politics have long existed in the region, illegal marijuana farms continue to expand in Western states, straining the supply. California, which legalized recreational marijuana in 2016, is seeing more illicit cannabis farms than licensed ones, according to the Cannabis Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley. “Because peak water demand for cannabis occurs in the dry season, when streamflow is at its lowest levels, even small diversions can dry streams and harm aquatic plants and animals,” a study from the center said....
