Gilgamesh: Why did he leave?

[Crease]

He (tried to) make a splash... But he just upped sticks and left... Why?

[DrDuke]

Because he lost all his hopes and money on Pep!

[armageto]

[kevo]

I return, gil leaves. Strange, no?

[gilgamesh]

He (tried to) make a splash... But he just upped sticks and left... Why?

Because I drafted Willie Pep and Erik Morales, but I didn't get Willie Pep and Erik Morales. I got some bums that called themselves that.

Bernard Dunne is some bum that never accomplished a goddamn thing in Boxing, and he's beating Willie Goddamn Pep?

Vuyani Bungu is only known for fighting Naseem Hamed in his retirement bout, and losing, and he fights Morales to a draw?

This isn't Simulated Boxing. This is just bullsh*t.

And basically the whole point of this is for us to have fun. Well when guys can't even get decisive wins over guys that couldn't have beaten them in 100 tries, what's the fun in that?

OK...fair enough....you weren't having fun......but sometimes it's not about you. Others watching the "best" get bested in an odd streak of luck brought joy to many of your competitors. A joy that you have callously stolen...and now our joy has been transmuted into sorrow and anguish. I hope you are proud of yourself.

Also you literally had the best guy....and we are only half way through.....over time....the cream USUALLY but not always rises....even if it takes time....and when the bad streak is in the front end.....well....that's better than flaming out in the last reel of the movie.

Oh....and I nearly forgot the most important part. Good management skills!!! Great managers can make a good deal of money with publication deals if they manage to rise above difficult challenges. You know some of those titles.....like, "Swimming with Sharks" or "Ten Great Management Techniques."

But...maybe you can still rally to fame and fortune, with a book with a catchy title.......May I suggest, "How I managed the best, ran into some bad luck and QUIT IN A SNIT.

Perhaps not intuitively inspiring....but I think folks like "Chad" or "Debbie Downer" from SNL would approve!

Looks like old Gil is pulling a Billy Joe Saunders on us.

Now now....Saunders had his orbital bone broken, I think one can quit with honor in that situation. (Unless it wasn't? But damn...upon close inspection, it did look like the lower right eye socket area was caved in)

You’re right, BJS faced at least some adversity before he quit on his stool.

In fairness Bernard was a World and European Champion. I've met him before, he's good craic. Very humble guy, makes himself out to be worse than what he was for comedy value....

Yeah, reportedly it is a triple fracture... Fighting someone as dangerous as a Saul Alvarez is scary enough with both eyes... But with one eye? That's trouble...
I guess the gypsy's curses did not work on this occasion.

I know I had the best goddamn guy. That's why it's intolerable to me that he's losing to the likes of Dunne in a manner that never could've happened.

[BoxBuzz]

was he actually losing rounds? Or was it an anomaly.?.....I hear the wisp was in an airplane accident....could that have really happened? Or is our earth a simulation? Elon Musk has an opinion......In what world does Pep actually get into an airplane accident? The odds say never.....and yet.....

Pep’s last urine test showed traces of tachyons. Is it possible he has quantum shifted here from another universe? I say...maybe.
