Absolute bums

I don't like the term, but Jason Gavern looked pretty shocking in the recent bout against Dave Allen. That is one situation where it looked liked the lad came to lose and collect his money. But then, Jason Gavern could probably knock me out with his hands tied behind his back, so fair play.

 

not if these are the only fights they can get. This is most journeymen. They are a fair standard in most cases but they are the stepping stone. James Tillis knew he was overmatched but he went the distance.

but they might be a legit fighter who’s had a long career and has decided to cash in his chips.

ham and eggers do. These guys are semi capable and legit boxers at a very low level. A non legit fighter, you can’t rebook them. Really you can’t. they produce ridiculous farcical bouts that cause an uproar.

 

If this was the case, then boxing wouldn't exist anymore .. Don't know what Boxing world you come from, but most of the time it's the fighter who is the champ and more importantly who is the DRAW who calls the shots .. It's a business first, just like any other sport..The "under matched" opponent gets his shot to get his payday, try his best, and see what happens .. I would not refer to the "under matched" opponent as a bum for doing so.. by the way, is Duran a bum for being ill-prepared against SRL in II?

 

Chips and eggers?

 

Nice dish if you can’t afford the ham..

 

my wife has described me as her own personal “cocoon of horror” since the day she first heard it. I shall ever thank Peter for this..

I think Jimmy Smith qualifies as a Bum.

 

Any man (or woman) that's get in a boxing ring professional or amateur I wouldn't call them a stiff or bum. Though they absolutely may not have a shot of winning, that they showed up is courageous in itself . Getting beat up on a school yard is bad,imagine getting beat up when thousands, or millions of people or watching. Now theirs in my opinion quite a few punks or bullies who thought they were more than they actually are . Hamed pops to mind, Tyson's another, Mayweather jr. Chavez showed some too esp latter in his career. Some would say Duran, but to me Duran more than made up for the melt down in New Orleans.

 

You guys have Peter McNeeley mixed up with Kevin McBride. McNeeley was Mike's coming-home-from-prison present, McBride was his final opponent who indeed gave Tyson the "cocoon of horror" treatment he had promised beforehand.

 

Just goes to show how faulty memory is, well mine at least…DOH!

OR MANDELA EFFECT???
