The Scott Gilfoid tribute thread

Post by dondada »

I feel a slight sense of guilt for introducing the forum to this writer.

For the uninitiated - and I sincerely hope that's most of you - he did a piece on how Froch looked scared in the preamble to the Abraham fight and was going to get battered. Then, despite being completely wrong, still managed to call Froch a load of rubbish in his write up.

Here's his latest:

http://www.boxingnews24.com/2010/11/kha ... a-on-1211/?

The best bit is in the third paragraph when he really starts to believe the sh1t he's shovelling 'This could be a lot easier knockout win for Maidana than I originally predicted' (two paragraphs before, presumably).

:lol:

I like the way Khan is in the best shape ever, whilst also being drained from training too much.

Also, what's a 'razor think' frame?

:lol: "getting his razor think physique ready for the fight"

The crap that site puts out never ceases to amaze me.

He's obviously trying to assure himself of his sexuality. He was so impressed with Khan's physique that it made things in his pants move.

Why did he write three paragraphs of the exact same thing in a slightly different order? That is truly awful writing.

It truly is awful to write the exact same thing three times, in a slightly different order. Why did he do it?

The opening line of the post below this fine piece of writing does it for me.

'This guy must be a retard.'

If only Gilfoid could be as concise and accurate.

Good god, that really is a dreadfully written article. Poor guy seems thoroughly grammatically challenged*. It just looks like a bad post on a forum rather than a well thought through piece. If he wasted more than 10 minutes of his life writing it then it's a real shame for him.

*I make no excuses for any erroneous spelling or grammar within this post as this is not a 'published' article.... :P

Undoubtedly the worst writer I've ever seen, and I worked as an English teacher in Korea for 3 years.

That is a bad piece of writing, i thought that Teddy Atlas was bad the other week in BN, he had predicted a Margarito win, but when it didn't happen, he wrote a peice stating why he was right , but Margarito hadn't followed his fight plan and if he had he would probably of won. Good old Teddy , he's never wrong you know.

I have to admit, reading his articles are my guilty pleasure. The reaction he gets from people is brilliant but i can't see why people fall for it with each and every article!

I've been away for a couple of weeks with no internet access so decided to have a catch up on his 'articles' for Froch v Abraham. Before the fight it was Abraham is superior etc etc then after he was shot from the Dirrell defeat and Froch followed his game plan and will get smashed by Johnson :lol:

Can't see him on there, he's probably had some pills and a lie down, but his fellow "writer" fills in and calls it "The most outlandish robbery of the decade!!"

'What we saw last night was Maidana like a farmer carrying a hatchet chasing a fluttering chicken around the ring.'

It's true! That's exactly what I saw! Uncanny!

The articles on that site are complete trash, don't even check it for news any more because the authors either have an agenda or regurgitate cliches. From what I hear he is one of the worst and most biased, which is quite an achievement.

Khan is referred to as a fluttering chicken four times and at one stage he almost flew out of an exit apparently - are you on one matey?

Wow, I sucked it up and read that article (or as much as I could take), I really wish I could unread it. Appalling. Don't sign him up in a hurry Glyn.

I remember reading a thread on here, someone was trying to pin Lacy's poor performance against Joe to the high altitude the fight was held at in Manchester. :confused:

I just read the Boxing News 24 take on that fight. What a ridiculous take on a great fight. The guy sounds like a 15 year old over-opinionated child who just saw his favourite boxer get beat. Pathetic. I actually have a link to that site on my Boxing Betting site, for what it's worth that link will be getting removed!

I can imagine the writer and The Gilf sitting on the sofa, watching the fight.

'Dude, he looks like a chicken.'

'And he looks like a farmer with a hatchet, dude.'

'Seriously, the English guy looks like a chicken, dude.'

'And the other guy looks like a farmer, dude.'

Repeat for 36 minutes.
