    That exact picture popped in my head when I was watching K.O.

    It's from a boxing anime called Hajime No Ippo.

    "The 'Jolt Counter is specific counter that is accomplished by putting the entire body-weight of a fighter behind a single punch. Miyata Ichiro used this technique in desperation against Jimmy Sisfar."

    I'm really not fussed with boxing anymore.

    Drugs cheats are rife and no one seems to care.

    Loads of fighters but yes, him in particular. Lauded as a hero. Look at the size of him.

    I'm done.

    You're not taking the ****?

    I look at it, knowing at least 95% of them are on something nowadays.

    Mayweather included.

    Nah, I've had enough. Don't enjoy the game anymore.

    Pacquiao getting sparked seems an appropriate time to leave, 'end of an era' and all that bollocks.

    Hurm.

    I always thought I'd lose my love for it before any of you 'classic gents.

    Take some weeks of ESB, see what happens.



    South Korea has so many great films.

    Oldboy, A Bittersweet Life, The Man from Nowhere, I Saw the Devil.

    Any Japanese film along those lines that anyone can recommend me?

    Current I guess. Just not in love with the game for a while, guess with no point of comparison I might as well knock it all on the head.

    Don't really have an emotional attachment with MMA so find it far easier to follow with the hang-ups I have with the sweet science. Don't think it's for me.

    Disgust aside, what'd you think of Pac's performance up to the KO?

    Found it pretty stirring to be honest. I didn't think he could ever turn it up like that again. I don't think anybody did.

    Time to retire this handle, I think.

    Both looked pretty good. Pacquiao was ragged as **** when caught, dropped before that as well. He's done.

    I don't keep up at all with the current game either, Flea. It's almost like it's a completely different sport, it just does nothing for me. Might as well be MMA. Seems so foreign to me. For some years now, I've been here solely based on my interest in boxing history.

    This is cool, however you're a wee bit older than me; probably enjoyed a longer 'own era' than me.

    Y'all have noticed I've been down on the 'modern game' for years. Just not my thing.

    Still love those obscure Thai lads though :D
