    He lost, so he's Irish. this thread would be valid if he had won the fight :lol:

    Seriously tho, he is Irish. Sometimes nationality is about more than here your born. His parents were paddies, so are all cousins. He made it pretty clear on Saturday when e had the Irish national anthem playing, no?
