quod erat demonstrandum = which was needing to be proved/demonstrated (puting QED at the end means 'which was needing to be proved and now is' QFT in american interweb slang means 'Quoted for Truth' In other words, preach Podge! PREACH!
You're a cerebral MFer, BamBam, no doubt! If the c-word and its other offensive cousins were removed from your vocab, I think you'd be considered one of this nation's deepest thinkers! Alas, I think you're too far gone, my friend - the word "****" is and always will be your signature calling card. Not being critical, mind - I think you use it marvellously! On a slightly related note to our above conundrum, I've asked my sports editor to give me a weekly page (similar to Gerry Callan in the Star, I suppose) to write on Irish and international boxing. He's getting more and more into boxing, and has agreed to give me a shot at it. A trial run, for want of a better word. Here's my vision - articles/interviews/quotes of the week/etc, the more Irish-related the better. Now, I know some of you aspiring writers are keen on publication. I wouldn't be able to pay, but if fellas like Slappy and Brendan wanted to get into a daily paper which sells 30,000 copies in Cork and beyond, then its a good start. Your byline would go on it and I could forward you the PDF files of the page for the oul' CV. Anyone interested?
I forgot to add, if it becomes a success, perhaps we could crank it up to twice a week, etc. I'm getting over-excited, but I would love for the Evening Echo to be as recognised for boxing as the Irish News. Real boxing stories by real boxing writers.
If he's not on the sky broadcast I would suggest he'll almost certainly be on one of the US broadcasts.
To actually fight for the British title. 3 options... 1. You would need a heap of money to challenge. 2. A big promoter who will take the gamble and front it for you 3. Wait til your offered a chance. So what would Pajos best route be.....
Reallly a good night for boxing tonight.... Ireland vs Italy in the Amatuers in the stadium tonight and Paul Hyland fighting an Italian in Italy tonight too......
That is interesting about Pajo being eligible. I wonder if he got a British passport - were would he begin in the British rankings and if he waited until he was made a mandatory challenger - approximately how many fights would it take for he is in that position:huh
would have to be to wait which would involve him getting a passport Less about Pajo! what about Eddie and Gary Sykes I know there was talk of this fight a while back
I have no doubt sky will want his fight I remember in germany last summer they changed andys fight to a 6 rounder at sky's request because they wanted to show him
That is brilliant that you have spoke up for more boxing coverage in the Evening Echo - if only more sports editors would write about boxing we would have a few more bigger names in the sport. I am happy to do whatever I can to help Podge, although I will still prioritise eastside for the bulk of my Irish stuff. But, sharing quotes, photos, doing additional articles/interviews etc - I can help with this and I am sure there is easy synergy to do so - no problem. I am sure there are a few others on here who would do the same.
Another good fight, and i heard talk of Paulie been matched with a guy Scott Quigg too but like i said its all only talk as far as im aware... There was other talk of Eddie vs ***an II and Eddie vs O'Hara II, But i dont see what the point is going back over old ground, Just a big risk, Little Reward for Eddie,
Am i seen things???? Paddy actually agreeing with me on summat :shock::tong:shock: Well they only crowned a new SFW european champion Leva Kirakosyan and god he is some banger, seen him take Scott Lawton apart in 3 rounds, Well should have been stopped in 2....He is a dangerous fella to be in with, Id like to see Eddie fight, Nicky Cook, Ricky Burns, Gary Sykes, Andy Morris, or and British fighter and beating any of those would surely shift him up the rankings....
