    This may well be the option that Opetaia should have taken instead of moving to Zuffa,certainly interesting times ahead in regards with Zuffa now in the mix .

    I haven't called him anything lad but after he fights Zurdo lets see if he has the nuts to get in with Jai or if he is all talk. In the mean maybe be a bit more respectful on here to other members that have been in the game longer than you.

    Sincerest apologies, triple OG.

    You can continue spewing utter nonsense without mere mortals like myself inserting ourselves when you bless us with your vast knowledge about this particular sport. Look at ya. (I heard look at ya is some sort of major insult in Australia, so just trying it out lol)

    Unfortunately power games are the downfall of sports, and boxing is no exception. I wish we could go back to having just one world title, but sadly, that's a pipe dream.

    May 2nd is near and I truly hope the winner of the Ramirez-Benavidez fights Opetaia. "The best fighting the best" as it should always be.

    Somebody misinformed you badly there Stoney, it wouldn't make the top million in a list of Aussie insults. For one, vulgarity is woefully inadequate.

    I have never heard anyone use "look at ya" as an insult so it sounds like you are the one spewing utter nonsense lad :lol:
    All I am saying is there is no need to be rude even if you disagree with someone.

    It was a youtube short. A mate was walking an Alpaca and another mate called it a Llama and resulted in the funniest argument. The ending was "look at ya" while the other was walking away and the YT comment section basically was going crazy over that saying if you live in Aus, youd know that its the biggest insult ever haha

    Re reading the thread, I was out if line. Apologies. Look at me. (lol) Not a fan of excuses, but was scrolling in the a.m. and the first post I quoted being rude to you, to me it seemed like one of those youtube Tank fan posts dismissing everything Inoue is doing claiming hes ducking Tank by not moving up. Automatically got triggered and resulted in me telling you off, sorry.

    Opetaia offered Billam-Smith a 70-30 deal, Billam-Smith's way and he declined it. Then Richard Riakporhe was offered the fight and he declined it as well.

    Opetaia should get the names of those that have ducked him embraided on his shorts, to shame them. He might need to get bigger shorts though.

    Never heard of it Stoney, Urban Dictionary has a lot of Aussie jargon like "feeding the chooks".

    It’s certainly not an Aussie insult.

    I reckon the worst thing an Aussie male can say to another Aussie male is to call him a “sh*t bloke.” Calling someone a “dog” is also right up there.

    Those two insults are not used lightly in this part of the world.
