Smart arse? What's the need for that at all? Yeah I did watch it. It's two scrotes figting in a public space on concrete. One bad punch and ya fall and crack your head on the cold hard ground and then you're in hospital taking up resources. Why not go for it in a controlled, legitimate environment if you're that passionate about it. Many Travellers have done and have gone on to do fantastically. This is far from a proper contest as you can get.

You think this is proper boxing ?

He’s never been beat because 99% of traveller boxing fights end in a draw. 30 minutes of walking around then everyone insists on shaking hands. Unlike real boxing matches the opponents almost always proceed to insult each other post match.

Total sham of a ‘sport’

Connors must have had 15kg on his opponent. I'm not even sure what you'd call that.


In the 90's I used to box in Co. Galway and the traveler boxers from proper clubs were serious fighters. More fighter than boxer but they were miles away from whatever that shíte in the video was.

Watching a couple of boxing matches on tv or something should be enough to know that that was not a "proper boxing fight" by any stretch.


It looked more like two lads putting on a show for 30 minutes where they agreed not to really fight.

The clothes the "ref" is wearing would lead me to believe that video is at least 10 years old. When would you see a traveller wearing a Liverpool jersey that's not the newest one?

Unbelievable that our Tv license money and tax payers money is going into giving this fool and his mates air time on RTE.Growing up and going to school in a area of north Dublin with a huge amount of halting sites and Traveler families i have seen their carry on first hand. The older generation were very religious and respectful people , you would see them down the shops or going to mass and would be the very same as settled people but the generation of my age group and what have come after are not.They have no respect for law or rules. 12 and 13 year olds driving heaps of scrap around with no license , tax insurance or nct , walking into shops and chippers and skipping a whole que just because they feel they are above queing .Driving around in the middle of the night and stealing anything that is not nailed down.I have seen on 2 separate occasions where houses on my parents road where given to traveler families .With in 6 months the houses where destroyed . Doors and anything timer burnt out in the back garden , copper stripped out of the house ,rubbish piled up in the back garden houses left flooded as all the appliances had been ripped out before they left. Feuds between two families on the street and in one case the wrong house was petrol bombed.None of the people who campaign for "equal rights " have to live beside this carry on .This is why Casey shot up in the election because he highlighted it and people who voted for him where not necessarily voting for him they were voting out of protest because they are sick of seeing they hard earned money being wasted time and time again.If John wants Travelers to be treated the same and be viewed the same then they simply have to act the same as settled people.Like every week there is a new whatts app message floating around of a call out video or them baiting the head off other in the street.It is being bred into the kids to act like this and glorified instead of trying to educate them and get them into college and jobs but why would they when they get all what they want for free.

Tbf, I lived with people who were from well to do families who were the messiest f**kers going. Good jobs, good pay-wouldn't take garbage out if their life depended on it.
Landlord lost his cool on more than one occassion, with me-and even one weekend when he knew I wasn't in the house, I came back to a letter from the neighbours about the mess.
So it's not just travellers.

That said, the copper and everything else that got wrecked-yep, that's traditional traveller.

It doesn't even require a huge amount of education. Many folks I know who left school after the Junior Cert have amazing jobs-with great trades.
But then again, they aren't under constant garda watch.

That had to be the slowest boxing 'fight' of all time, it was like watching soccer.

Well fúck me - that's just like watching Ali fighting.

Not Muhammad Ali mind. I mean my ex girlfriend Ali- actually she'd have kicked that useless fat fúckers arse, I can guarantee that.

World class boxer?? What a tosspot!

Pedro K

Travellers always claim a straight up fight is the best way to solve an issue. Big problem there is that almost all of their fights are exactly the same.

Two lads shuffle around a carpark for ~40 minutes. There might be one or two actual punches landed in that time. The crowd start urging them to shake hands. They do. Each claims the victory. Each procedes to insult the other and their family online. Feud grows. Rinse. Repeat.

The insult videos are brilliant. But the boxing is terrible, usually it's circling each other with their arms up.

I tuned out of him completely when he compared the plight of the African-American slave to that of the traveller.

Slaves had to work. So there's comparison whatsoever.

The Bushwhackers were Harvard professors in comparison to those wasters. I'm surprised they're able to breathe in and out on their own.

No, he was shíte in both.

Played the same character too - a big fat gobshíte dirtbird, not even a stretch for him and he was still shíte.

He's no Al Pacino, in fact you'd get a better performance (and considerably more sense) from an Alpaca.

Coming soon to cinema near you - Oscar winner* John Connors in 12 years a wanker.



* He has an oscar in his house, he says he won it, but then he says a lot of things, in fact he'd say mass the prick.

I think the Bushwhackers were actually travelers based on that video.

He loves having a pop at RTE for apparently oppressing him even though there was a time he was never off it between all his various series and chat show appearances.

He may have a dag or a horse called Oscar....because that would be the closest he would ever get to having one of those...unless he stole it...which wouldn't be beyond him in doing...

His performance in the film cardboard gangsters was shocking, an over the top potrayal of a dublin drug dealer and he couldnt even do the dublin accent he sounded like a traveller or at least a traveller trying to sound like a dub and he got to ride a cracking english owlone in it when hes no Nidge.. If anyone seen it he got shot and buried at the end when he was supposed to be fleeing the country to Spain with his partner but went back to help the gorgeous english bird who was another gangsters bird at the last minute but anyway hes in bits I dont know how he got that role and to ride her and it was a great ending I thought for him was delighted after what he did to Nidge in Love Hate. The chap is a mongo I think its just a token oh look we give travellers a chance but in reality you could get anybody off the street traveller or not to the roles he had its a joke and a disgrace like his race.

Jesus he's full of himself

Great line in this article saying he's doing a one man show "so if it all goes balls to the wall I've only myself to blame".
Hopefully he can impart some of that self awareness of responsibility to others within his community.

My hopes aren't up.

He gets far worse abuse on his Twitter feed. Suits his narrative of being constantly oppressed because of his "ethnicity".
