Oh wait....

Just move on. You disagree and you're part of the reason why the English language is going to pieces - people just accepting it being butchered on the basis "they understand it".

HA!

I wont be able to sleep tonight for worrying at the damage I am doing to the English language.

Catch a hold of yourself there lad FFS.

wondefullife i'm just wondering why you're posting on the mma forum for only 4 months and at a feverish pace when you have an account here since 2011?. Serious question don't take offense:)

No offence taken

If you go through my post history you'll see i didn't post on any forum on Boards for the best part of 2 and a half years until 4 months ago.

This was mainly due to caring for my dad through COPD and terminal cancer until he died and i wasn't too well myself afterwards (physically/mentally).

If the question is why did i not post on MMA 3 years ago, well i think i covered that elsewhere. I only got into the sport in late 2012 and i hadn't a clue what i was watching. Sometimes i still don't know precisely some of the transitions when it hits the mat but i'm addicted to watching jiujitsu and feel my knowledge gets better daily from reading Mellor and Marcos and others in here.

Latter part of your question - I find Boards to be a big help and an outlet for me. I don't really have many friends and i only signed up to Boards when Gary Speed committed suicide and DeVore was starting his Lets All Laugh At Depression thread. TL'DR; I kinda feel like i'm talking to friends when i post in here. I know i post too much sometimes but i try not to post drivel if i can help it lol.

Love how the little thug in blue is still saying "come on" to the bouncer after he landed some solid punches on him and ko'ed his thug mate.

The spitting is vile too

People are retarded to think that. He defended himself and back away everytime. Completely reasonable.
What do they think the two clowns would have done if they dropped the bouncer instead, he's probably be in hospital.


I had the laugh though, the skinny guy trying to do his best McGregor impersonation. But the other fella keeping wading in like CM Puck

Whelo79

The sad thing is this guy will probably lose his job and the two lads could probably claim against him/the bar. The law is unfortunately not on the bouncers side. His training would have recommended that he close the doors and go inside.

Also, the fact that he has his walkie talkie within his fist while hitting the lads won't work in his favour either.

Really? There seems to be 4 lads ( 2 aggressors) and him. Its clearly self defence.

His training "recommends" he goes inside but is that something you can use against him?

Swashbuckler

Love the way your man was flattened at the end. As*holes deserve everything they got and more.

Jayop

Dunno how that can go down as anything other than self defense. Two scumbags got the least of what the deserve, it's only a pity he didn't knock the other one out too.

Subcomandante Marcos

If anything this should count as assault on the door man by a group or drunk gob****es. I'd love to see him persue a civil case against them.

not gunna happen unfortunately, scumbags will probably take a case and win, especially when theres video of the incident. Law around the area is completely fucked imo and gives fuck all protection to the bouncer.

Watching it here. She looks in great shape.

3rd round stoppage.

Didn't think it should have been stopped so easily when it was, but it was coming regardless over the 6 rounds.

Gamebred

Easy win as expecting fighting a part timer but still the balls rolling now.

John_D80

She was always gonna be fed a an easy opponent first time out but to her credit she looked very good.

Hopefully her personal issues are behind her.

Slickest boxer on the planet fighting here Lomachenko.

Walters is a bottler.

MartyMcFly84

It a difficult position to be in. He knew there was no way he could win and was being severely outclassed. In MMA you can tap out but there are not as many options in Boxing.

To be honest what did he have to gain? Pride? a debt to the fans? he saved himself countless strikes to the head which were likely to get worse as the fight went on.

He did the smart thing quitting a fight he knew he had no way of winning.

He wasnt getting lit up though, Lomachenko had only began opening up he was in zero danger off getting ko'd from what I was watching, hes known to have ko power one punch can change a fight he quit in there complete lack of heart imo (and many people in the media who ive heard),

Yeah we get it take balls to fight but dont go in there get out classed as say **** this im done here hes too good (while your being paid half a million) nobody will want anything to do with him now hes damaged goods, he ripped the paying public,himself and his team off by quitting.

I feel a lot people of that opinion have probably never fought themselves.

Everyone has off days and there is nothing worse than being in there against someone who is on another level than you. There was very little he could do apart from being a punching bag for Lomachenko. It was a mismatch to be honest, thats not the fighters fault , rather the promotor. We see people give up in MMA but its easier to hide to the average fan, leaving out an arm or giving up your back.

There is not much in it for fighters to hang in there and take lots of damage.

No one knows how they will react until they get in there. He probably did not realise Loma was going to be a good as he is.

Ah come on a miss match? hes 30-0 world champion for feck sake he had been running his mouth in the build up to this too, in over your head and quit like that is very unusual you rarely see it in combat these people train all their lives for these fights and to throw it away like that is shocking imo,

I have competed many times in different sports (I compete in grappling next week) and I've had all the emotions the fight or flight but never have I quit in training or a competition because the person is getting the upperhand(you keep going take your humbling and go again), you'd have a point if he was getting tee'd off on but it wasnt a bad beating he was taking he wasnt injured either.

While the KO didn't look impending, repeated shots to the head can obviously have lasting damage too.

True but Lomachenko isnt prime Mike Tyson were talking about here, if your big enough to throw hayemakers at people be man enough to take some shots when the going gets tough combat sport is gone too pc with all this head trauma stuff after 1 or 2 high profile incidents (ie Eubank) they are 2 manlets fighting, anyways to me I like to see someone with heart rock on, can you imagine Neil Seery quitting like that after rd 1 of the Horiguchi fight? can buy or train heart.

No offence but competing in other sports it not similar to fighting. You likely have never felt the same emotions as a fighter unless you have actually done it. It's very very different when someone hitting you.

BJJ or grappling is not like a striking form of fighting, and in a bad case scenario if you are being beaten by a better grappler you can just tap out and be absolutely fine. This does not exist in Boxing, what is in store is rounds and rounds of punishment. Head trauma has always been a part of combat sports put is only recently getting the attention it should have for years. Too many fighters can barely form sentences after they retire. I suggest you try it for yourself before you judge who is "man" enough or not.

Chris Eubank Jr isn't exactly prime mike Tyson either. Obviously he was landing more and is heavier than Loma but the 7th round was fairly overwhelming.

None taken, Im not a professional athlete so I'll never be in the position I can only speak from experience I've been overmatched and stopped in amatuer boxing to grappling in open weigh categories and not to mention raped by better people every single day in training so I know what its like to be outclassed in some way and its not nice but quitting is the easy way out I wouldnt expect it from anyway earning half a million plus, its the least he owed to himself and the paying public,

anyways im over it now I wont be tuning into ever see him again #nomas

Come on now Eubank is a middleweight ffs with ko power were talking about lightweights and super featherweights complete different ball game.

Yeah, I said in my post it was at a higher weight. Boxing is still very dangerous at the lower weights. 15 round fights were gotten rid of because of Kim's death after his lightweight title fight with Ray Mancini. Davey Moore and Johnny Owen 2 more of the top of my head that died after title fights at lower weights.

Blackthorn Fight School

Just worth noting a KO is the ideal situation getting punched for an entire fight is where the real damage happens. It is why you see more deaths in lower weights because the KO is less likely you take many more sub concussive blows. Just look at the amount of times guys die after they get out of the ring.

Also while Lomas record at pro is still low his ammy record with a career record of 396-1

On quitting if your a pro it can be a lot better to throw in the towel and come back to fight another day rather than suffer permanent brain damage.

I can't see this lasting too long. Dan is a legend but so stiff at this stage, he is like a really strong wooden plank. I can't even remember the last time I saw him shoot for a take down.

Anyone know where I can get the fighters walkout jerseys in dublin? I see the JD has them on their website but don't rememebr seeing them in the shop last time I was there.

I would ideally like to try it on before buying as I'm lingerie and skinny so sizes vary for me.
