****Kirks Championships 2017 ****

Let me clarify something, I'm a big one on respect, even though it may not seem like it all the time, I'm actually fairly selfless, if someone needs help, I'm more than willing to lend a helping hand the best way I can, ask many of the posters on this very thread. So when Pinoy and Kirk needed my help like 2 years ago when Pinoy was doing his exams IIRC, I lent them a helping hand, for the majority of the last half of the year. Then Kirk was AWOL last year for legit reasons and Pinoy needed help for something else, I lended a helping hand again. Then earlier this year, Pinoy needed some time off due to personal issues and in spite of the fact that he and I don't always see eye to eye and have had words, he asked me to take over both tasks, because he knows I'm the best at it aside from him, which he doesn't want to admit. I accepted happily, in spite of the fact I was going through some pretty rough personal stuff as well, when I needed some time off, @Drinquor took over the update, which like Pinoy said is a pain in the ass, and I realized he did a far better job than Pinoy or I, so I let him take it, because I'm not a control freak like many seem to think. He did a better job, he gets the job as simple as that.

I think I did a pretty exemplary job doing the fight schedule, and genuinely enjoy doing it, because not to sound obnoxious or arrogant, but I kind of know my ****, and I kind of know which matches will be competitive, even the obscure ones or seemingly uncompetitive ones, therefore its made this competition a lot tougher.

I took over the RBR from IntentionalButt, I took over countless tasks on this thread, and I'm a Mod now I have all that bull**** to handle, not to mention the fact that I try when I have a free moment to write an article here and there and still do threads on fighters when I can, and that's a hell of a lot of responsibility for someone who actually has a life and isn't getting paid to do any of this, nor am I asking to be, I do it because I enjoy doing it. I get a ton of **** from countless posters coming at me from all angles, some that hate me, and attack everything I do, some trying to get me to ban this one or that one, asking for favors, that I cannot give them, all the while I have personal drama going on with posters trying to dox other posters and ruin their lives (ask @UnleashtheFURY) and drenlou and I having our reputations drug through the mud across the ****ing web by a demented poster with an agenda, all kinds of ****, and no complaints from me whatsoever. I like helping out, because I love this sport, and I want this site to be better and the posters to be a little more enlightened.

But every time I take over, when Pinoy returns it always feel like a "oh thanks a lot, now get the **** out of the way, I'm back", type of response, and "oh by the way, you now have to go back to having zero say, sorry **** off." I didn't even do that **** with Drinquor who hasn't always gotten along all that great with me, but I respected him enough to say, you're the better man, you take it and I like his posts to back up his superlative efforts. And what do I get for my effort, what feels like a passive aggressive kick in the ****ing nuts. Which isn't going to fly with me this time, I've invested a **** load of my time and effort into this thread and my only single solitary ****ing request is..... I want to have a little say in what fights are and aren't definitively added, THAT'S NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK IS IT? After co-running it for 2 1/2 years... I think I've earned that tiny little miniscule right by now haven't I?

 

No, I don't care about any of that stupid s***, I actually couldn't care less about the WBK. In fact I don't care about titles and sanctioning bodies and purse bids or any of that garbage in the actual sport of Boxing, have you ever noticed I never waste my time on crap like that? Its because the only thing that matters to me is the matches and who wins and who loses. I never sweat the small stuff, same with me in the league, I don't care about People's Championships or WBK or The Crowning etc. I care about fighters and watching them fight, I'm kind of primal like that, the rest of this petty crap is fun for guys who are a little more light hearted, which I'm not.

I've kept this league up and running alongside nellybc, for the last two years, I don't care if you make the Fight Schedule, all I want is for my suggestions to not fall on deaf ears and be added to the list, that's it, when I feel passionately about a fight being added, its usually for a reason, whether you want to admit it or not, most of the matches I suggested in the past that YOU ignored have resulted in upsets, because like I said, I know my ****, you are not always right, your judgment at times is completely off kilter, any match that is relatively competitive should be counted, f*** your goddamn code and rules that govern you so, stop being so rule based, I'm far looser than you and far more malleable, I'm open to suggestions, you on the other hand are rigid as f***. I want my suggestions to count 100%, that is all.

Thanks for understanding.

 

What like the Fonfara-Smith Jr., Buglioni-Burton, Guerrero-Peralta, Angulo-Hernandez matches THAT I HARPED ON to name a few? I predicted the upsets, and you left them all off. They fell on deaf ears, I bet you'd have left off Gamboa-Castellanos as well.

I don't care about having fun, that s*** annoys me and distracts me, I'm glad you're doing better, and I have no problem whatsoever with you continuing, but like I said, since I've kept this league going, and will be more than willing to lend a helping hand in the future, when I'm persistent, I don't want my suggestions to fall on deaf ears, and judging by how well I did with the Fight List, you know you can trust my instincts. I want more say.

And for the record, you sound like every girl that ended up dumping me for the same reasons.

 

@PinoyProdigy Seriously read this, I'm pretty sure you'll get a laugh out of it. Ram vs. Goat.

Aries and Capricorn are two inextricably linked signs of the Zodiac, but they don’t realize it due to the difference in their characters. Aries love to take risks, move through life at a very fast pace, and are at the head of things, but have little staying power and move quickly from one thing to another. Capricorn dislike risks, move through life at a much slower pace, but persevere continuously toward their goals without getting despaired. Both signs get what they want, but in entirely dissimilar ways. Hence both members must toil hard to make their friendship work.

Aries are boisterous and flaunting, while Capricorn are quiet and unassuming. And both of them are obstinate not to give up their individual identities. Their philosophies are also completely opposite to each other. Aries prefer the easier, quicker, riskier approach to getting things done, while Capricorn take the harder, slower, safer approach. These differences might affect their friendship during its primary stages. But once they begin to appreciate the other’s philosophy and its success, they would realize that together they could accomplish a lot of things together that they could not individually.

The ruling planet of Aries is Mars and of Capricorn is Saturn. These planets work against each other, which might account for the severe disparity in the character of Aries and Capricorn. Mars overcomes obstacles for a short time with a sudden burst of energy. Saturn perseveres and moves forward relentlessly through all kinds of difficulties. Thus both Aries and Capricorn show strength of character but in very dissimilar ways. Both of them are determined and neither give up easily. Extreme care must be taken to maintain their friendship and to direct their energies along positive channels. Otherwise their partnership might lead to repressed emotions, hatred, and even cruelty. Capricorn must be careful not to slow down Aries too much, and Aries must be careful and try not to stimulate the Capricorn too much.

Aries is a fire sign and Capricorn is an earth sign. The ram is more adventurous while the goat is more practical. The ram just considers what is best for the moment and goes for it. The goat has a fixed plan in its mind and always works towards that end. Aries and Capricorn, if they combine their contrasting strategies, could accomplish remarkable success.

Aries and Capricorns are both cardinal signs. They are both good at starting things, but set about finishing them in different ways. They get along much better when they accept each other’s well defined role in the partnership. Superficially, Aries appear to be the leader because they rush headlong to solve problems and always appear in front. But Capricorn are surreptitiously in charge, and they work slowly but surely towards their goals. As long as both are satisfied with their roles, their partnership works well and they almost always achieve the desired results.

The best aspect of a friendship an Aries and a Capricorn is the unique qualities they bring into their partnership. As long as either of them is allowed to preserve their individuality, their alliance work well, and they end up getting what they want. They seldom try to learn from the other person; but if they do learn, it is worth the effort!

Trouble really gets going when the two refuse to compromise- which could be often. The more sensitive Capricorn is also in jeopardy of getting hurt by the strong opinions the Aries will hold. This will affect the relationship even more because an Aries will not change their mind once they believe something to be true.

Both of these signs will need to agree to disagree on conflicting issues to avoid failure. Also, adjustments, agreements, and compromises are definitely needed to survive because Capricorns and Aries are exactly opposite.

With patience and tolerance, the relationship can be a very long and meaningful one.

To make things work: Patience, tolerance, adjustments, agreements, compromises, trust, and nurturing.

What will tear them apart: Capricorns lack of trust, dictatorial tendencies (Capricorn), dominating tendencies (Aries), being too different, impatience, and lack of compromise.

 

I'm switching to Shiming KO as well. For some odd reason.
