"Tyson Fury" and his chances of Heavyweight Glory

So who was it terrorizing then? The British?

Who are these Irish historians who call it an act of terrorism?

The Irish people certainly don't consider it an act of terrorism:

How is seizing strategic positions around the city of Dublin terrorism anyway?

Don't get me wrong, the IRA carried out acts that could be considered terrorism(so did the British), but the easter rising isn't one of them.

 

Christ, behave.

The Irish people consider it an act of terrorism because it's an origin myth for their country; it's a heavily mythologised event, but popular imagination doesn't determine the qualities of it, that's for professional historians.

An organisation - the IRB - that instigated the act was an extranational institution that was revolutionary; revolutionary institutions are terroristic by virtue of their purported goal: which is the implementation of a new government, or in the case of separatists, a new State. The Rising falls within that remit as they operated within Ireland which was part of the United Kingdom - the objective was separatism, and terrorism was the most effective tool in their estimation of achieving that.

The only democratic and civil organisation that attempted separatism though peaceful means was the Irish Party, but then they, and the likes of Redmond, don't really capture of the Irish imagination given the progression of events after 1916.

 

Fury is not an easy fight for anyone.He's a very good inside fighter with an array of punches.If he gets inside Haye or any fighter for that matter he would make life very difficult.

 

His chances are non-existant. Second he faces a good heavyweight he will be knocked out.

He needs to cherry pick his opponents and play on the exposure he has received as much as possible in order to make the most $$ that he can.

 

was William Wallace a terrorist:think :good

 

Bit of a red-herring given the Anglo-Scottish wars were a pre-modern conflict. Nation States hadn't even emerged in the 13th/14th centuries.

 

Thats absolute bollox, terrorism has to terrorize someone. Where are these Irish historians who are calling it an act of terrorism?

You can consider them a terrorist group, but the rising itself was not a terrorist act, it was a direct attack on the state. What terrorist tactics where used here? Who was it terrorizing?

 

People always say this but it's just a cop out. When Broner or Fury does it it's fake, but Hamed always gets a free pass. At least Fury can sing.

 

The finish was a display of great punching by Fury.He landed a crisp uppercut that hurt Cunningham,then a hurtful bodyshot another couple of punches followed by another uppercut then the knockout right hook.Great variety and power and when he sits down on his punches he can dig.He convincingly won the last 3 rounds.

 

ok so no:huh....the amarican war of independence....was that an act of terrorism....:good

 

all be it badly:good

 

I'll admit he was out of form last night. Probably lost his voice cheering for Hughie

 

Any act of violence has the quality of 'terror', but 'terrorism' has a specific meaning because it's wedded to politics.

A terrorist act is a illegitimate & unlawful assault on a government or State - the Rising falls within that category because the IRB utilised acts of violence and destruction to pursue a political objective against the legitimate government and State governing Ireland.
