We've All Had To Deal With Them...

Back in the late 90's I used to work with an absolute **** of a bloke. He used to sit around doing **** all all day long, disappearing for long lunches, coming back pissed etc. Always making racist comments to people and he really thought he was gods gift to women, despite looking like something out of a star wars pub and having a bald head and a pony tail. I hated the **** with a passion.

Anyway, I got tickets for the Naz Bungu fight at Earls Court. Turned up for the undercard and the seats next to me were empty. Just before the main event I hear somebody shout "Oi Rich". I assumed it was one of my mates, I looked round and to my absolute horror I saw this ***** from work. He had the seats next to me. I was speechless. What are the chances of that?

Anyway, he completly ruined the fight for me. He actually said that he thought Naz's next fight would be against Lennox Lewis and that he fancied Naz to win. He was also convinced that Mike Tyson had been on the undercard and was gutted that he hadn't seen him. It went on and on. I tried to talk to him about the possiblities of Naz facing Barrera or Morales, and he hadn't heard of either of them. What finished me off was when I said I had been watching an old Duran fight before I came out, his reply " I know my boxing, but I've never heard of Roberto Duran before"

He brought a mate called Chin with him. Equally as clueless. They followed us out of the arena and wanted to go for a pint. We basically done a runner from the pair of ****s.

Went to work on Monday and completly blanked this bloke and didn't speak to him again from that day until he eventually left in 2007.

 

Your old work "mate" is probably a ringside judge now...

 

Lol - to be brutally honest, I really hope he's dead!

 

To be fair, sounds like a proper ****.

 

worst one I had was with my company MD!

I've got 2 miniture signed boxing gloves on my monitors and the MD walked up trying to do his 'employee relations thing' and seeing the boxing glowes he asked if i liked boxing (he's a yank so not the sharpest tool in the box). I replied yes and then he asked me 'who would win out of Ali and Lewis in a h2h'. I said it was a 50/50 due to the size difference.. He then proceeded to tell me Ali would jab Lewis to death all night and it wouldn't even be a close fight - He's my MD I couldn't argue

 

id second that 1....darren bent is the only player who could get into newcastles team!!

 

love it

 

I've got some pakistani bloke at work who seems to think he knows about boxing purely because he hangs off Amir Khans nuts, thought that Khans last opponent was 'Malinga'

 

i was watching prizefighter with a few of my mates wen 1 of them said......why doesnt he punch him in the leg!!!!!

Needless to say he got crazy amounts of stick aftwards and still to this day

 

atsch then afterwards they could have got their conkers out

 

Cool thread. The best example I can think of with regards to something similar happening to me was centred around this absolute know-it-all twat I used to work with a few years back (same dude I mentioned at the very beginning of the Choi thread). Anyway, as I was known as 'the boxing fan' in the office a bird who sat near me decided to ask me what a southpaw was as she didn't know. I explained what the terminology meant to her and then she replied, 'my brother boxes like that, so that must mean he's a southpaw as well.' Anyway, Captain **** then butts in and says (exact words here), 'yeah, that's a really good quality for a boxer because no-one sees the left coming'.

:rofl We had a good laugh at his expense and I still laugh now when I think about it.

 

Surprisingly none. The only time people have been generally interested in boxing around here when its not Tony 'The Spacker' Jeffries is when Haye fights.

 

Me and me m8s all went to Mitchell - Katsidis and decided to go back to mine to watch Khan vs Paulie. Just before the fight i went into my usual rant mode and said Khan would ease to a UD decision and that Paulie M was cerry picked.

My mate replies "Yeah I agree Khan should win. But the thing with Paulie, he might be slow, but he has got a ****ing hard punch". fighting back the need to laugh i told him that Paulie was quick but couldnt punch for ****, and that his KO percentage was something close to 15%. To which he replied "ooh yeah sorry mate your right. I was thinking about the other Malignaggi'. 'Yes m8 you must be' i replied shaking my head

 

Best post of the thread so far. :rofl
