Heard through the grapevine that the other night after Mirovic & Hoppa's fight, Joel Casey was full of **** and running amuck in the Hotel where Jamie Myers had put everyone involved with the promotion. Anyway apparently he was running up and down the halls knocking on doors and carrying on, he then started kicking in doors, after a 3rd door was kicked in a very pissed off guest who was trying to sleep emerged from his room and knocked him the **** out! And the name of the guest was ..... The pride of Gatton...Ricky Thornberry!...... Go the Gatton Tiger.:happy
I know, I was just winding it up a bit, Ricky and Noel are cool and Noel is good for boxing he has a good relation with Germany promoter's which has help Aussie get fights over there.
Love these stories. How many times does the idiot pisshead run into some1 who can throw em. Honestly it goes hand in hand.
Your right ozzie, I grew up in a country pub with my dad the publican and if i had a dollar for every of time i saw a -70kg cowboy knock out a 90kg loudmoth, i'd be typing this on a gold keyboard
Another classic from Wales was when Two Welsh Rugby internationals ( The brothers Moriarty ) were lordin it up large in a Swansea Night club taking the **** out of midgets until they picked on a small bloke named Colin Jones who sparked the ****ing pair of them out . Colin could march on a tad ask Milton McCrory . Pity he got battered by the cobra though :-(
I guess this "incident" fits in this thread........ Was at the PCYC the other week working with the Pacific Island boys who are encouraged to take up boxing instead of belting up the local citizens. One 16 year old nicknamed "Mike" (as in Iron Mike Tyson due to his solid build and high pitched voice) was working with Geoff the head trainer on the subtleties of working to the body, which was moving at snails pace as all this guy wanted to do was decapitate anyone not rolling down stream with him....if you get the drift. Anyway, the trainer explains how one must use caution when throwing a left to your opponents body as you leave yourself open for the counter right hand but if you can perfect the shot it can be more damaging than a head shot because "YOU ARE LANDING A SOLID SHOT TO A MAJOR ORGAN....THE LIVER, WHICH HAS NUMEROUS NERVES AND SUCH AND AIN'T AS WELL PROTECTED AS THE BRAIN, and so on and so on he explains.... Now Mike thinks about this (it's obvious he won't be graduating human anatomy anytime soon...or anything intellectual for that matter) and you can see the wheels turning...and what he comes out with begins well...but MIKE: "What about if I'm fighting a southpaw, I throw the right hand to his liver, true? GEOFF: Uh, what do you mean? MIKE: If I throw a right hook to his liver do I still move to the left as I'm throwing or do I move to the right? Geoff's got this look on his face like he has just been told his wife used to be a bloke. He just stares at him until he replies in total frustration, "Mate, I dunno, if you smack the **** hard enough with your left you might be able to get his liver to change sides...." Those of us that heard were trying hard not to laugh because you don't want these kids to leave after putting in the work but with Mike's confused look and Geoff coming to the realisation that this could take a while, it was a little to much........:rofl And after all was said and done he was straight back to attempted decapitation.
