I,ll tell you what is a far worse character trait than a chatterbox shall i.....a person who says the edgiest shit they can say to get a reaction from someone and then as soon as they get that reaction they do anything possible to back the person off.....the type of person who is confrontational right up until the confrontation looks like its going to get real and then they become a poor little victim.....its weak,bordering on feeble.

Very few.....but i honestly dont see what is difficult or complicated about weighing 2 men to a certain weight limit and then have them fight at that weight.....if that is indeed what we want to do.
-
If you want to see a middleweight fight at middleweight then why are you talking about rehydrating ?.....when a fighter is using Iv's to replace fluids you can safely say there is an unnatural medical urgency,like i say mate you either want fighters at their natural athletic weights or you dont....the safety aspect helped fighters cheat the scales we cant have it all ways and no fighter is going to enter the ring dehydrated so when better to weigh them in than before a fight. You mention bulldogs and as ive always said the greatest skill a conditioner can have is being able to find a dogs

His size as it relates to boxing doesnt make him " an enigma " it makes him hard to hit,simple. " a bloke his size ".....shouldnt do well in hide and seek competitions but it doesnt make him better at it just because he,s big ?
-
Whos that ?
-
Re point C. Whats the point in a check weigh in before a fight ?.....a check weigh in is to stop a fighter rehydrating too much too quick......why not just have a weigh in before a fight,you either want fighters at their natural athletic weight or you dont. Not picking holes squire as i agree in principal ?

I can agree with that i think we all know a " Trigger " type theres no badness in it.....i actually know 2,sometimes one will get brought up in conversation and i have to say " who do you mean football Trigger or normal Trigger " ?......i think the character was great in small doses,too much time around them types can cause a certain reaction ( similar to the reaction you get from acid reflux ) and you just have to give them a wide berth for a while......the classic tell tale sign of a " Trigger " is when once you call them it they desperately rack their brains for an Only Fools and Horses cha

I,ll listen to anyone talk about boxing and i think anyone is entitled to an opinion whether they have boxed or not.....but this whole " size " thing is something a person who hasnt boxed will never really understand....they just cant envisage things like the timing of footwork or the mental emotions of fight thinking,the clarity of thinking and working things out while under the pressure of a fight and how that size/distance relates to time....its hard sometimes trying to talk with people with no experience of a fight...i guess the same as a cricketer trying to talk to me about cricket theres

The only way to get a fair fight between 2 healthy physically matched fighters is to weigh in before the fight ive been saying it years.
-
Not if they were fined their fight purse for not making weight it wouldnt.

I dont know if any of you chaps are familiar with the old bulldog man Don Mayfield but i used to listen to him talk about his shade tree in Texas he would sit under it and write his stories and think about the world,ive always told friends of mine about him and how id love to have something like that .....i have a little place in Cyprus and wasnt able to get over there for the last few years so had a few friends spending some time there....they did a nice little surprise for me by having a bench built out of the local rock under a tree high up in the mountains behind the house.....i wouldnt sa

I was having an interesting conversation with an old trainer ive known years he makes a good analogy about heavyweight boxers being chess pieces.....he puts it in a way of previous eras of heavyweights had fighters who were castles,bishops,queens etc they had different qualities ....but todays heavyweights are just pawns,they all only have 1 move. Wilder punch and nothing else. Joshua power and nothing else. Fury size and nothing else. Whereas fighters from other eras had more than 1 string to their bow.....made a lot of sense all todays heavyweights are very limited.
-
Cracking little read that.......i might of let my imagination get the better of me but when it got to the bit where you woke up surrounded by a bunch of boar i pictured you as Liam Neeson in the wolf scene in that film The Grey ?
-
Pretty fair assessment i thought....the lad takes a good shot but just isnt good enough at that level you cant spend 90% of a fight on the back foot and expect to win rounds unless you completely dominate opponents catching them with clean shots and Fury doesnt do that....i thought Povetkin looked old....the domestic heavyweight scene is on fire at the moment Fury needs to be getting amongst those sort of fights rather than chasing titles. As for Campbell i thought he did ok but having such a size advantage and barely winning a round can never be seen as doing well... Lomachenko is outsta
-
Charlie Edwards cannot make Flyweight anymore i,ll be amazed to see him fight a return....they were good shots he got caught with but shots he would be able to take if he wasnt dead at the weight....that said he was very lucky to come out of that fight without a loss.
-
Im embarrassed to of put my soppy picture up now ? Some breathtaking views chaps great pictures. Socks i dont know what " the sisters " is but it looks a lot like Hainault Forest hill sprints over this way... any fighter from this area is familiar with them they are proper sickeners.
-
Take some pics if you can mate i always think theres something special about being high up like that... almost spiritual ?.....not sure id fancy anything too drastic id draw the line at mountaineering type stuff but the peace and silence when you finally reach even a small peak like this was certainly worth the effort getting there....rewarding in a way.
-
Well there was a bit of a stewards inquiry at the top when im stood there perched against the pillar and my pal appeared out of nowhere claiming to have been walking around taking in the view for the last 5 minutes ? Theres 3 different routes up so i went for the most direct ( but steepest ) another lad went for the longest ( but easiest ).......the other tried to create his own and got f****n lost ! In all fairness the one who said he was taking in the views is fit as f**k it did cross my mind to ambush him and tie him to a tree......so alls fair in love and hill climbing he copped

Almost looks too good to be a drawing/painting....more like a photograph the way he,s caught the window reflection on that light bulb.

The fun with being " spur of the moment townies " in these type of scenarios is the funny looks people with hiking boots,thermo flasks,compasses and rucksacks give 3 dosey looking ruffians wearing shorts and t shirt kneeling down in the blocks position of a 100 metre sprint at the bottom of a mountain ? " Do you think we should of brought a bottle of water " my pal said......" no f**k it we,re fit enough....ready,steady,go " i says ? The things people do for a bet ! Sounds like you got the right approach Mushroom....planning is key to enjoying it as opposed to just surviving ?
-
Thats it mate yes.....passed away an interesting couple of hours.
-
No bad idea.....something we couldnt help but become aware of over the course of the game was the steady build up of piss/beer sloshing round your ankles every time you approach the troughs.....we stayed to watch the Yarde/Kovalev fight afterwards and by round 7 it was just unbearable,i guess thats the drawback encouraging men to look forward instead of down while taking a jimmy.....or maybe its just a Welsh thing i dont know ?
-
I thought Anthony acquitted himself well he has all the tools to become a champion im glad he went for it and didnt just hold out for a clear points loss.....he has to get rid of that fool in his corner though you just cant have that " mates " relationship with a fighter.....Yardes a gutsy lad and has got where he is on sheer talent,with the correct input im sure he has another 30% on top of what he has showed up to now.

I saw 1 or 2 in some gaff called Rhayader a few days ago.....i,ll have to get a proper camera one of these days !

Me and a couple of pals have been in mid Wales on a bit of business one of them is a keen Arsenal fan and was desperate to see the game against Liverpool on saturday so we eventually found a pub to watch it....and what a cracking little footie pub it was......we very nearly pissed ourselves at this ( no pun intended ).....i thought it was blindin ?
