don't be a drama queen.

the guy wasn't forced to do it, was he?

he knew what was at the other end of the flight. he could have said no. i'm sure others did.

but they should have back-up fights and opponents ready for unexpected withdrawals imo.

 

If you think it's okay for an overmatched fighter to get a fight on same day notice. Take an interstate flight. Then a taxi straight to the venue and be in the ring ready to fight without even having a warm-up that's fine :good

 

when did I say it was ok?

 

I said you wouldn't put a dog through what Lloyd got put through, and you claimed I was being a drama queen for raising it.

The reason I raised it is because it's NOT ok, and you've just agreed with me that it's not ok :good

 

u r certainly being a drama queen, regarding a dog. that's ridiculous.

I didn't say it was good or bad.

they had very few fighters who could fill in at that stage. so it was going to be an ordinary choice.

the guy could have said no. he put himself through it.

it didn't make any difference if the two fought, or if alex didn't fight anybody, cause the fight was not going to last very long at all. it was just a waste of effort imo.

 

We both don't think it was ok, because it wasn't ok :good

 

How bad was the knockout and was he hurt ?

Don't like the way it all panned out but hopefully he got looked afte $ wise.

 

Patrick is Phillip Austin isn't he ?

 

:good

 

The guy has a point.

 

Get over it as Alex said it is what it is, nothing can be done...some may say 'swallow it like a man..

 

For sake ladies. Every title governing body has its rules, but those rules can never overrule Australian State regulating bodies.

 

either way this sht has to be sanction by a governing body who in the end is responsible for these miss matched bouts, where is the duty of care when matching up a bloke whos had nothing but losses against someone we all know is going to knock the guy the fck out? surely they cant play ignorant all of the time, what are these people getting paid for? to rubber stamp missmatches?

 

No.
