Irish Boxing

Only because of the options they would want?

:bolt

 

idiooooots :-(

 

Whose countryman? Which Acosta? :huh

This thread is incredibly hard to read when people don't use quotes (or when they speak in Gaelic :yep).

Do you mean Venezuelan lightweight Miguel Acosta? What other Venezuelan was being discussed? Also...are you really slagging Miguel's competition?

I'm so lost here.:?

 

Why would we be talking about lightweights? Carlos isn't a fat little ****er. He'd want to a have ****ing beer belly on him to get up to Lightweight

Alexi Acosta is the marelito they are slabbering about.

 

He is talking to carlos-jackal who in real life is Carl "the freight train from hell " Frampton who is managed by Barry McGuigan and asking him would he fight rigos fellow countryman Irish based Alexei Acosta !!!!

thuigan tu ???

 

I have no idea why he would be talking about lightweights. He didn't use the quote function, which gives an observer no idea whom he was addressing or in reference to what (weight class or otherwise). This thread does seem to meander topically in a pretty scattershot fashion.

Never heard of that guy. I doubt anyone outside Ireland has. :think

So is he not as impressive as his record suggests, then?

 

He's referring to the Cuban fighter Alexei Acosta, fellow countryman of Guillermo Rigondeaux

 

Is it carl frampton your saying isnt as impressive as his record suggests or Alexei Acosta?

 

He is imprseeive only Carl is more impressive !!!!

 

Acosta/Collado. :yep

I've heard of Frampton plenty in the Brit forum, and may have even seen him once or twice. :huh

 

Acosta is fairly impressive imo, he already has wins over Cristian Faccio and Felix Machado.

 

Yeah, saw the Gavin Reid fight. Looked good for his progress level, per my notes.

 

Who is this Alexei Acosta? is he any good?

 

:think Stopped Machado, too...which several quality boxers have failed to do (Moreno, Dunne, Munoz & Caro). Machado has good wins over Castillo and Pastrana, too - albeit long ago.

edit: ah, it looks to have been just a cuts stoppage. Still..:conf

 

I had a look at the video of the Bute-Magee weigh in and I have to agree with the poster that said Bute looked weight drained, he reminded me of De La Hoya at the weigh in for the Pacman fight. This could really work in Magee's favour.

I'm guessing that he may have taken training a bit more lightly than he usually does and was forced to shed excess pounds rapidly as it got closer to the weigh in. Could just be wishful thinking on my part..
