I am sick to death of the liberty taking in British rings

[forcefraser]

I`ve seen some things in my time and put up with some disgusting liberties being taken, but I have never EVER been so insulted and infuriated as by the appalling scenes I witnessed on Saturday night in Liverpool.

Firstly two little midgets were waving flags during the National Anthems of the Price v Thompson fight. One black (for Thompson) and the other White (for Price). Are they trying to start a race war on British soil? Why would they do this, knowing the history of midgets of colour and their white counterparts?

I have spoken to Tim Iny of the "Little people of America" www.lpaonline.org and he agrees that these two little blokes were only in the ring due to their physical stature, nothing else. It was bullying of the highest order and needs to be sorted out sharpish, or I for one will be looking elsewhere for my entertainment.

Before this, we were treated to a fantastic rendition of "Born in the USA" by a busker playing saxaphone. He appeared to be like a scrumpy jack pish where you thought it was finished but more just kept dribbling out. Although clearly skilled, I found it unforgivable that his backing group consisting of three fully kitted out soldiers with drums, refused to give him any back up at all. They just left the guy on his own to carry the whole show. When they eventually did play the drums, the sax player had gone and there was no one left to sing.

Two National Anthems were at least respectfully observed, apart from the return of the sax player who bastardised "God Save the queen"

We had no growling of the combatents names, another shocking omission.

I pay good money to watch boxing, but never in my life have I felt so appalled and disgusted by the sheer front of a promotion. Midgets, buskers, out of sync and outright disrespectful drummers, promoters crying, wife abuse being laughed up and ACCEPTED, swearing, dancing in the ring and God knows what else.

I am only thankfull that I was so stoned that instead of the above, I actually found it to be one of the most bizarre and hilarious pieces of live television that I have seen in many a day.

When I first started reading that I thought, uh oh, another right on leftie venting his spleen - but soon became apparant that it was a very humorous piece, love the "little people" chap - T. Iny !!

As you say, they don't do entrances like that anywhere else, but i'd love to see another. I'm sure that was worth the price of admission on its own!

Haha good post, it was a reet good night's telly.

[desperados]

one of the most bizarre nights, the weird and wonderful, thoroughly entertaining. Still laughing at Born in the USA .

[fatcity69]

oh dear! perhaps you should stick to family fortunes in future!...

[Final round]

Hehe the whole thing was a bit of a farce, it was an epic night.

What did the sax player have in his left pocket? It looked like he had elephantitis of the left bollock.

I am considering booking him for my daughter`s wedding.

It's an inflated bollock, you can get it from playing brass or woodwind instruments too vigorously.

Firstly two little midgets

Right, till then, I thought you were going to go on one about the Butcher-Satchell fight but
then you started talking about the real midgets. Oh well.

As for the Duke of Lancaster regiment drummers - 'Born in the USA' is probably out of their
scope skillwise. Who knows?

Or blowing your own trumpet.

That was an utterly bizarre intro to a boxing match or any event for that matter! Bloody funny though

[HomicideHenry]

It was disgusting imho. No sportsmanship what so ever. Apparently England didn't learn it's lesson the last time when they booed not only Thompson but the national anthem. Then they do a worse job this time around, with the clown that was supposed to be Uncle Sam (letting the American flag touch the ground several times) and having two midgets parade around with the flag also, and having a horrible rendition of Born In The USA playing. Just for that Tony Thompson did every American proud by beating price to a pulp...AGAIN.
