    :lol: Some of the fighting was embarrassing to watch, the video's sending for each other was funny. 'baldy james you no bollocks!' :rofl.

    So much money going around in that game but tbh half of them can't have a row. Giving ground after 2hours and 30mins when your backed up. **** poor IMO.

    Really enjoyed this. Comedy gold throughout with the big baldy bollocks comments etc.

    Nice to see Michael grow from a lightweight cheat to a cruiserweight type warrior. The draw was a nice touch but for all the effort put in I would of gone for a win and a purse.

    Jimmy Quinn and that old man Joyce were the stars, was gutted when they didn't get on. Felt like a PBF v Pac anti climax.

    Would like to have seen how Joyce would of faired with Lenny McClean aka Barry the Baptist from lock stock.

    Lenny would of ****ing destroyed him, I was gutted James didn't fight him but tbh there all talkers and picked fights they could win.

    I didn't like the draw for simple fact your there to win the fight, i felt it was disappointing from Michael's POV.

    Not one of them lads threw a body punch :lol:.

    Exactly way I saw it. The fat guy was there for the taking imo. Couple of uppercuts would have been nice and as you say no work to the body ever :-(

    I think Jimmy defo he was too old and old man did the talking. Many **** hardmen are like that. A fella my way called Migsa Hayes is always offering people out and hes like 60, embarrassing really.

    On the whole I thought it was well organized but they missed a trick. They should charge tickets and that way a fighter gets a purse no matter what. Watching fellas get smashed up and the fight called a draw was pretty dumb. Show the fight in a rented unit or what not.

    The callout vids were funny as ****. Although I did find myself angry watching Jimmy win a tough fight hoping that was end of trouble only for a mouthy ginger twat to stoke it up agau. by saying 'Jimmy Quinn will never lose to a Joyce' and a couple of insults. Starts it ip again no sooner than its ended.

    A lot of poor punches thrown, cuffing blows like. Hardly anyone sat on their punches. I am sure Lenny goes through any of these guys be it oldman Joyce in his prime Paddy Doherty.

    looks like nothing more than a money making exerCise for those involved. Extorting money out of people to put up the purses under the made up exuse of "defending the family honour", have a playground fight and then split the winnings..easy money.

    I'm not into all of this but thats nonsense, what easy money? there are no bookies involved, no one is making a cut, no one is paying to watch the fights, there are no purses and someone loses as much as the other fella wins.

    The Quinn-McDonagh's only wanted money stumped up for fights to stop every man and his dog offering him out.

    Bull****. That James said he's only fighting again for the money. Who gets what out of the money is not certain but the fact is that a few people are handling money that they have taken from people for no good reason and sharing it out among themselves under the pretext of "fair fights". You yourself say noone pays to watch..who would pay to watch that??

    But he only accepted the fight after they came and offered him the fight and said that he didnt want to fight after that. It's not about the money I assure you.

    Would I pay to watch? No! Would others? I dare say they would. Sure there are people pay anything from £10 to £30 a throw to watch white collar boxing every weekend and the standard is often a lot worse than anything seen in Knuckle.
