    He’s as tall as Kiko, taller than GAR, and two inches shorter than the other two.

    "If I wanted victory I had to get it by KO. I had no chance of beating him on points. Honestly, he was faster and more accurate than me, he was scoring more than me, but the wear and tear I was putting on him down below to the body was the work that could pay off throughout the fight. I had to lose rounds at first so I could exploit my trump card later.

    "[My corner] told me not to go crazy, to be patient, that my moment would come and I could put my hand on him, and that's what happened in the fifth round. I knew that it was a decisive moment [when he went down] and that I had to take advantage of it if I wanted to finish [the fight] as soon as possible.

    "I don't want to keep [fighting] for too much longer. I want to invest one more year of my life in this sport and I don't want to go much further than that. I wouldn't want to continue to punish my body, my mind and my joints much more. You can bet one more year on me and then I will leave this beautiful sport, although I will continue dedicating myself to it, but doing other things."

    It's been a theme in MMA lately as well.

    Glover Teixeira finally won a world title at the ripe age of 42, it took him almost 10 years to earn another shot at the belt with lots of ups and down in-between.

    Fedor Emelianenko just upset a fringe contender almost a decade younger at the age of 45.

    I can't think of a more fitting way to commence with my (aka Serge's) new Leprechaun Series other than with Kiko King of the Leprechauns

    I thought Kiko was done a few years ago, he keeps proving people wrong.

    Er no it’s not a theme, it happens from time to time throughout history. Maybe read a book or watch a documentary inbetween your video game addiction.
