Hi Joe, Has your father been arrested and sentenced yet - for his 10 year disability benefit fraud Scam ? Thanks.
I wonder who he fancies to win an inevitable future showdown between his mate Enzo Macarinelli and former stablemate Nathan Cleverly? :think
Can you verify any of the following story; Lets just say for example................ A fighter - was gearing himself up for a mega World Unfication Title Fight. All through the build up - he trained hard everyday - and got himself in super fit condition. He lived on a decent diet throughout the weeks of training - (except for a few packets of monster munch everyday that he burned off in training) - But on the day of the fight - more specifically the night of the fight.......... Lets just say the fighter - had not ate for hours - and the fight was approaching. He leaves his hotel. And climbs into the passenger seat of his trainers vauxhall people carrier. the trainers son and his girlfriend are in the back seat - catching a free lift to the arena too - and to provide moral support - and look after the training bag in the back seat with the gumshield bandages pads (to warm up) shorts boots spare boxing gloves - water bottle first aid kit the clock is ticking - there is just about a hour to go until MC Jimmy Lennon Jnr annoucnes the fighters location and name to the world in front of TV Cameras and a World wide TV Audience which will signal the fighters music then coming on and the cue for fighter is due to make his ring walk. Just 1 hour away............... As they set off - in this Vauxhall People -carrier - its now gone Midnight. A conversation takes place - in the front eat - between trainer and fighter about ............ "feeling a bit peckish" - and "needing to get the energy levels up" So they make the fateful decsion - of making a little D-Tour until they find a late night chip shop still open.............. They pull up and the trainers goes inside - and the trainer orders some stuff for himself - and for his fighter he orders........... Steak and Kideny Pie Meedium Chips 330ml Can of Dr Pepper The next 10 minutes in the front seat - is spent scoffing and burping as the fighter - consumes his greasy meal..................he then slings the wrapper out the window because they are in such a rush to get to the arena on time. Once in the arena - they quickly park up - get in the changing room and get changed and warm up on the pads............... Before you know it - its time to fight. But how would that greasy meal - consumed less than a hour before the fight - effect the fighters performance ?
