Pundits Plump for Rigo win in Prediction poll

yeh rigo is always like that but i wouldnt be shocked if he hasnt taken this seriously.

 

The ones that picked Casey must have had a few too many pints of Guiness

 

A few days ago you said you ''heard some stories'' that made you put more on a El Chacal win, now you've ''heard some stories'' to make you think otherwise?

Anyhow, Rigo has always looked like that, nothing to read into. He still could be taking Casey lightly, but even if he is he'd still be twice the fighter Casey is. Those three that picked him are mad, even worse than picking Munroe over Nishioka.

 

Jpab its good that you are when non-nationalistic it comes to boxing, but you seem to go out of your way to be unbiased towards irish fighters:hat

 

I'm not that bad am I?

How many other examples are there mate?

 

well fror example when a possible Hyland-Acosta matchup was being talked about you said that you wouldnt want a fighter the level of Hyland to beat a potential world champion in Acosta. I found it unusual that you werent supporting your fellow dub..:good

 

That was said in the context that Hyland would never(not that I wouldn't like him too) get to the level that Acosta could potentially reach. And while, on the surface, yes, it would be good at the time for Paulie to win, in the long run it probably wouldn't be the best of things. Acosta's win over Faccio(and the manner in which he acheived it) suggests to me he could go very far, and I wouldn't want him to be derailed by someone who more than likely isn't at elite European level. I do like Paulie, I've met him a few times and he's a nice guy, even if he does support Rovers.:yep

I do see your point though, I get a lot of that. But boxing is an individual sport, so I follow certain individuals. Obviously it's nice if an Irish fighter has success, but it's not all that important to me. Bernard Dunne deserves credit though, for the Cordoba fight he somehow made me 50-50 on not minding who won, despite me always being a huge Maestrito fan.

 

nobody picked hatton, and most thought nishioka would win

 

gwarrrn casey, looks in good shape NO HOMO

 

I get it, its good to have a few posters on the forum who arent affected by nationalism anyways and use their head, not their heart to pick a winner.:thumbsup

 

Beacause all us Irish drink guiness ? Gotta love the English with the lazy stereotypes eh

 

Cheers. I dont do it intentionally, I feel the same about people from other countries. For example, you can be certain that if Ricky Burns wasn't from Britain he would be absolutely chastised(and rightly so) for his title reign thus far. He receives some critisism, but not enough IMO.

He was taking the ****, get over it.

 

He wasnt was he ? :shock: You did note the smiley face at the end of my message ? !
