    :rofl

    WV2? Never hear of his nickname? I think you'll find I listed him. I even made quite a long thread on him too, on how he'll come back from his demoralizing defeat. Doubt you noticed or cared though.

    Come on, surely you can latch onto something in order to try to sound like a smart-arse?

    Sorry JPab, what he meant to say with regards to the Super Bantamweight division was:

    Munroe KO1 Bernard Dunne.

    Happy now?

    :lol:

    That would've made me happy. That might strike a nerve too, what with Dunne being one of very few Irish fighters that I'm a fan of.

    Don't.

    Poonsawat KO3 Dunne

    (which I called during the first round by the way, to the disgust of my surrounding countrymen)

    First of all, I don't care about where he comes from or where he fights out of. But I do think it's a bit funny that when he fought Wayne Elcock it was all Battle of Birmingham, Blues shirts and Keep Right On but now he's Irish. Good luck to the bloke if it sells more tickets - every boxer deserves every penny they can earn out of the sport

    ah sorry didnt notice, and no i'm not to familiar with his nickname to be honest i usually call him wilfredo vazquez jr. (as in his name), you seem to have a massive interest in what i think of the super bantamweight and super flyweight division for some reason ? my thoughts, rigo beats anybody in the super bantamweight division, vazquez beats arce in a rematch, cordoba shouldnt even be mentioned he's done.............. big bang willie casey beats them all.

    Aren't you the professional one.

    As I said, unlike you, I have no interest in nationality debates. When I tried to change the subject, you decided to try to act with a degree of condescension, to which I decided to respond by having some fun with you(and it has been).

    Nice analysis.

    See above.

    No he ****ing isn't. What are you basing this on exactly?


    Would've worked if:

    A- I was a fan of his

    B- He hadn't of already been torn apart by one of the aforementioned pugilists.

    Still, nice attempt though.

    much more of a market for a mediocre Irish fighter than a mediocre English one

    1. Dunne wasn't abysmal.

    2. Cordoba was winning comfortably before getting caught.

    3. Cordoba was exhausted, he got caught up in a fight that didn't suit him, what did he show you exactly that told you he was shot?

    4. It was widely reported that Maestrito was under-prepared.

    5. How did a 'shot' fighter take the man you said would beat everybody in the division to a split decision?

    6. You're not going to wind me up by going on about Irish fighters, as I have a functioning sense of proportion.
