tommy mc to win

[sugar sweet 1]

hope so

[sugar sweet 1]

As iv boxed both guys,i will have to favour small to win by stoppage,even tho i beat small and lost to tommy,The rematch with small can be made but he thinks he to big to avenge his hiding,deep down he knows i got his number and would beat him again,i would do everyone a favour and shut his big mouth again,in quicker rounds,small as not improved as far as i have seen,he would still get smashed by sugar sweet,theres no problem with promoters so fight can be made lets do it gobby.

is that really you Bradley...are you on the come back trail?...you have to say that Small has done pretty well to take that defeat and come back strongly.
I'm a bit surprised Small's style has got him as far as it has tbh without more people like Bradley getting his number.

iv had a good fight back since my defeat and will head for the number 1 spot next year.small as not improved in my eyes,i will always beat him

[pyenest77]

Lets hope so Bradley for our sake the man is monotonous & tedius!!!

some boxers can pull the cockyness off but hes just embarassing and makes himself look a tit, and so far he is unproven beond domestic level there was an interview the other week he said he the best light middle in the world, i stand by my first post this man is a TOOL .
and its ok being religious in a sport like this lots of boxers are but there was not need to tell everyone wot was written on his hat, when nobody even asked him.

Thats your opinion but I'm sure plenty find him more entertaing than a 'tit'. Yes he is unproven beyond domestic level but do you think it wrong that a boxer should/would believe in himself and 'believe' he is the best in the world? Im sure many fighters believe in themselves and many believe that they are the best but not confident enough to say it. Smalls just a very confident man, nothing wrong with that. Some people like or need to put pressure on themselves to push themselves to the limit or bring out the best in them. Its like they give themself no option but to succeed, I can understand why thoughs who do that do it. Its like backing themselves in a corner, you have to fight your hardest out.

Do people bat an eyelid when fighters get on their knees and do the sign of the cross in the corner before the fight starts? No. I've seen fighters kiss a cross they wear, no one asks or wonders because its common knowledge, what was written on Smalls hat I agree nobody asked but Im sure a few wondered...so Small made it clear to who/who maybe wondered. Dont think anyone should take offense, he didn't say anything wrong or bad to anyone did he[/quote


that is compleatly different they aint getting on there knees or making a cross and then telling everyone why they do it, everything that guy does is forced just like sweetscience said a couple of posts above his confidence is forced he tries to hard, and imo he does that with his religion to he compleatly over does it.

Please edit your post correctly...your making it look like Im saying what you've typed and you saying what I typed and considering we have a difference of opinion Im sure you dont want it to appear like this as much as I do ....Which is alot!

Just to point out,The first two paragraphs from ginger-sacks 'first post here' are from Des1 and the last one from ginger-sack

Here we go, why dont people just lighten up! Cant you see Small is just having a wind up and actually trying to wind his opponents up as has been done in the past by fighters in any way which or form?!. If it gives Small an edge to even think it works even if it doesn't then he is preparing himself to be in the best frame of mind to win. Everyone is different and use different appoaches to get in the best frame of mind, some are quite and moody, some are loud and cocky, some try to be intimidating, some polite and some jokers, everyone is different and some need to go to the extreme in their ways to get the best out of themselves. Small when he acts like this is never malicious, he shows its just banter in the the jokey way its done and he always shakes hands showing his respect, whether you like it or not all he is trying to do is drum up publicity for himself. Some people need to stop being so serious!

Oh, and while I was posting this a notifaction came up that someone else posted and if I wanted to see it before I submitted....and suprise suprise, someone posted "Tool" again!

you're the tool coming on here giving it "I know who you are" like a jive-ass from the comfort of your anonymity. Kind of renders anything you post on these boards garbage to me

Is my post 'giving it'?....Giving it what exactly? . You seem like someone who cannot discuss difference of opinion constructively, rather like a spoilt child who lashes out or beomes abbusive or rude to someone that they dont agree with. Just because my opinion is different to yours doesn't warrent so much anger. Maybe you have issues, get some help and then be kind enough to lets us know when you feel better. All the best

no pal it's because u were on here not long back giving it I know who you are any way you're a bit of a knob-jockey, but declined the opportunity to come and put your point to me in person if that's the case.
Luxuriating in your anonymity some would call it. Although I'd call it being a bit of a sad tool.
At least try to challenge me over the point I am actually making at you you duck-egg rather than suggesting it's over our "difference of opinions". Do you struggle with basic English? because if so you have an awful lot to spout.

[Nightmare Roy]

tommy mc to win

I'll be doing cart wheels if he does, Good luck Tommy!

[ERIC GUY]

I reckon McDonagh's boxing skills will cause Small some big problems, not a good style match up for him at all. 10/1 for a McDonagh on points was too good to refuse. I think a fight with Sam Webb would have been easier for Small.

they did box each other in the london se divs of the ABAs,

[teddy007]

hope so

Hall smashed you to pieces and you think you deserve a fight with Small!!! I never normally say this about boxers but you dont deserve a shot at Small, you need to earn it. My feelings are you will get beat again before you get into a position to earn another title shot, but good luck trying.

[martin_g91]

This is a really bad fight. The match up in "styles" couldn't be worse. To quote points of view "why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why..........

ye not a great style matchup but people will still watch the fight coz of anthony small and what an entertainer he is, and also because of the undercard whic is credit to ricky, gareth williams and richard poxon.

small is always going to divide opinion but i like him he's always a good laugh and his record and current accomplishments backs him up.

Small has got loads of talent but he need someone who goes to him. Small will win but it will be a stinker.

[twenty six]

Teddy,
If only Mr Small used the same thought line when calling out fighters.

I can see he is mucking around and people are taking it too seriously - having said that, are you a pal of his as I've seen you jump to his aide as soon as anybody says anything negative about 'The Small'?

[dbflex]

Sam Webb beat Small twice in the ams and McDonagh in May. He thinks Small wins easy – I can't post the link to our site (not allowed) but those who know me will find it easy enuf.

[whiteboy]

you dont deserve a shot at Small, you need to earn it.

He's already beaten him once ffs

[Chambers2]

The 'Mouth from the South' wins this one at a canter IMO

Come on Smally!!

Are you for real....If you actually like that c o c k and his drivel then theres another tool in this message and its delivered to yourself x

[The_Don1]

Small needs an audience for his banter to work, as it looked like there was about 15 people at the presser, the joke fell flat on its arse

Are you mentally well ?...I was on here not so long ago 'giving it' giving it what?. You know who I am Woooo think we got a forum gangster on our hands here! . I declined to put my point to you in person? Did I? Oh please dont hurt my feelings by calling me names :(. Try and challenge you over the point you are making? What point?... That You have a sulky bad attitude you need to have sorted out. Dont be so angry and rude to people in life as it can damage you health in more ways than one . Oh and no, I have no struggle with basic English, but if you need some help I wouldn't know the direction to put someone like you in...If that was why you was asking, but I'm sure there is help out there for those like yourself

The Webb fight is a natrual needle match. Sam beat him in the amatuers, but if Small can get down to business early he will stop Webb.

[taffytoon]

What an absolute Idiot you are Can you post a link to your record please?

[n1ebf]

Des 1 you are the biggest tosser on this forum.

I don't know who you are or why you saw fit to insult me but 2 weeks ago you said to me "I know who you are and you're a bit of a knob jockey anyway"

You have never introduced yourself or revealed your identity if you know me, and today you are "quoting" me as saying that it was I that said I know who YOU are

Your willingness to argue silly points while making covert little threats is making you look like a complete and utter P R I C K.

I haven't noticed especially. Why isn't it allowed, anyway? Is there any clear reasoning why some sites may link, but others can't. I understand if someone's been spamming, but BN, the defunct BBN and the international favourite FightNews are all banned from linking. Why is that? I don't see the problem with pointing boxing fans in the direction of boxing articles...
