The fights a sham but I've enjoyed some of the build up. McGregor is a crazy bastard
It's a nice insight and a good story.coneye wrote:You think about this fight and the more you think the more you sort of relize MISMATCH , its a complete joke of a fight a circus event , and just a complete piss take . BUT something does spring to mind , a few years ago . we had this guy a good pro , come into our gym to train , he was fighting on a card , against a well known world champ , I'm not gonna mention names , i never will on the net ,
Anyway he had 3-4 nights left before the fight and his trainer said to me , i' would like him to just move around for a couple of rnds before saturday night , can he move around with them two guys , the two guys being the only ones left in the gym everyone else had gone home , I said yeh no worries , he can move around with him , being my son who was a good ameteur with 80 odd fights under his belt , but we'll give the other one a miss , he's a beginner and does'nt know too much .
His trainer said , Oh don't worry about him , we'll look after him he spars the ameteurs all the time at home , ( the states ) . I said i'm not worried about him , i'm worried about your guy , he laughed and said , thought you said he's had no fights , i said he's not , but he's a very strong lad , tough has teak , and very agressive , , he just swings and gets very wild he does everything he's not supposed to and throws from everywhere , this kid was a wild bugger , , the trainer laughed and said , don't worry he'll be alright ,,
So i said Jimmy you want to have a spar with him ,, fook yeh he said , could'nt wait to get in , have a go and then go tell his mates , who he sparred ,, anyway , my son jumped in , they done a very light , very technical couple of rnds , a joy to watch
Jimmy was watching from the side lines , that eager to get in you would of thought he was waiting for his first shag , his turn come and i said to him , very light Jimmy just move around and jab , its only to get this guy loose , Yeh ok , he says , well has son has he took a jab in the face he lost it , and fooking run at this guy with his arms flaying like windmills , he caught the guy on the eye and split it ,, within 20-30 seconds , they had him out of there and were worried to death about his up coming fight and his split eye ,, ,,, remember well the trainer having a go at my kid , and i had to step up and tell him no get stuffed it was your fault i warned you he was a novice and beginners don't know the book and don't box by the book .
Now we all know Floyd can box the ears of a boxer , my suspision is he's not gonna meet a boxer he's gonna meet a Jimmy ,, still reckon its a mismatch , but when i think back on Jimmy i smile and think , i hope so .

i saw something very similar ,but it was a reopened cut on someone that was not too far away from a commonwealth title fight .the lad that did it was from a university amateur boxing club that came in for sparring for while to get their lads some experience ,hadn't had any fights but was technically very good from what i saw. someone thought he had been taking liberties with a lightweight pro he was sparring ( the amateur lad would have been at least a middleweight ) though i thought he was just trying to keep the lightweight off him as the wee man worked at a crazy mental pace and walked through what the bigger lad landed several times,so the super middleweight went in to put a few on him and ended up cut in the process even though they had both been told to take it easy.coneye wrote:You think about this fight and the more you think the more you sort of relize MISMATCH , its a complete joke of a fight a circus event , and just a complete piss take .
