Bad Beat/Moaning/Venting - pray for Lazare

Wow...blasted him. Interesting to see where it goes from here.

Could be upsides if the hyptrain derails I suppose, Joe.ie going out of business for one

[Cuchulainn1]

There are literally dozens of boxers that would put any of these MMA guys to sleep, it's so overrated.

You're right that he's not on the same planet as Ali in any regard, the comparison is nauseating.

Don't know how to embed s YouTube video but here is McGregor playing with Patrick Hyland as a cat would a mouse.

This one?

He has a post a few posts back that has an index of everything he's written.

Occasionally he's extra prescient:

There is a non-zero chance that the Christie kill shot was designed by the Trump campaign. Trump was on his best behavior at the debate, as a strategy, but Trump needed to put a cap in Rubio’s ass to slow his rise. Trump and Christie seemed a bit chummy last night. How hard would it be for the Trump campaign to pass along that kill shot?

[The Situation]

You're always gonna look silly when destroyed after talking yourself up as almost immortal, David Haye was similar in boxing. Both talented but even more talented in self promotion and conning people into thinking they're one of the GOAT's. But doubt he cares, hes filthy rich based off people falling for it.

Congratulations to the Parrots, the little pigeon is a wee cracker. She does look a lot older than a newborn and her hair is just class. Hope Paula is feeling good. Was it a natural birth of a section? Thought you were in scrubs.

Aimee was about 4 months before she got to that weight! She was 7 5 when born and took almost a month to get back to birth weight. It really is the most amazing feeling and no one can prepare you for the emotions you will feel. And it doesn't stop!

Enjoy xxx

Brother still up after the fight...on Marian now shortly, then heading to the airport to LA to watch Lakers vs GSW tonight...poor fucker.

I'd say there were plenty of those people just enjoying the hype train and the style of fighting for what it was (although probably not in Vegas at moment)


4/1 about the bigger man

How did the bookies get it so wrong, or was it just weight of money on CMcG?

I'm not sure they got it that wrong. Most people thought he would win.

Well yea, include the 'most people' in it then. It seems from the boards thread and other stuff I've read that he could never compete with the ability of the heavier guys to absorb his shots, and give back heavier shots.

Was this after the fight? Everyone seems to be coming out of the woodwork now and stating how difficult the weight jump is and how big a difference it played. It probably did, but I didn't see many stating this before the fight. That's probably one area the bookies(and everyone else) didn't factor in. It's easy to analyse a fight when you know the outcome.

But the fan boys need some excuse for the GOAT's loss.

[Guest]

He was winning the fight u til he wasn't. Thought he was trying way too hard to go for a highlight reel KO and gassed to an extent. Didn't show enough respect.
Stuff like tonight is why MMA is better then boxing IMO,fighters can't hide. Look at Frampton making noises about vacating the belt he won last weekend to avoid fighting the best guy in his division. And may weather pacquio not happening till way after both their prime

[shrapnel]

Sad life to take such joy in another mans demise.

wtf are you talking about? i'm happy he got beat, and i'm delighted the hype train came to a screeching halt.

This is not his demise, it was a good old fashioned ass whooping. About time he and his fans came back down to earth.

He'll be back and i look forward to it. He's a solid fighter and I have always enjoyed his fights, the delusional shit not so much.

[mdoug]

I for one was pretty certain that Mcgregor would lose and bet accordingly.


I also thought he would have lost vs dos anjos and aldo though and lost accordingly on the latter

[Emmet]

If Diaz chin holds he'll prob trade for a bit then finish McGregor late on. It is a potential war of a fight.

That's what makes him box office though. Plenty of really, really very good fighters in UFC who haven't made 7 figures.

[Guest]

Tallaght Shamrocks of Wicklow going all retro, 80's style last night

SPOILER

Sligo rovers when old school as well, old school Everton against Liverpool, half the team sent off

[Kayroo]

LOL at the opposition is so bad we look good narrative

Recycling that old Kerry routine all the time makes you sound like the Healys Rae not the second coming of Mick O'Dwyer

To be fair I'm on the record stating how terrible Cork are for the last few years. I'm consistent in criticizing that bunch of under performers.

Dublin were brutal in the first half. Utterly pedestrian and took Cork for granted. Clearly a solid boot in the hole at half time woke some lads up and the level was upped. Connolly is an absolutely ridiculous player. He is a joy to watch.

to a certain extent. As long as you're unbeaten, if you talk the talk and walk the walk, the world is your oyster. Now though, he's like every other fighter, and the LW belt is a lot further away and the WW belt is not even going to be talked about, probably ever again.

He's still FW champion though which is a great achievement in itself, and will still be box office, but for the rest it's time for the McG fanboys to stfu. back down he goes to FW.

Re FW,genuinely don't think he planned to do that cut again,he has no choice now.
Tonight was a derailment of the hype train with a few serious injuries,losing a FW defence would be the train plunging into a ravine and exploding on Impact

Kimmage on off the ball now swilling McGregor's tears

Begrudger 101. The man did well for himself perhaps surpassing his talent with promoting himself why the hate?

[Denny Crane]

Its no Early Doors, well actually it is very much a version of Early Doors but Horace and Pete looking very promising at the Intermission of s01e01
Great cast, well played, writing could probably be sharper it looks and feels like a theatre piece.

Louis CK is going for an unusual funding model, direct download $5 for the first show and $3 per subsequent show, hope it works out for him ... other downloading models are available

This is great, thanks. Love Alan Alda.

[shrapnel]

i don't get it? i'm one half of the equation. Fans love him or hate him, hence why he generates so much cash for the UFC.

Now he's lost, we're all begrudgers? I'm a massive fight fan for always. I love watching cocky shits like him eventually lose (a la Bisping against Henderson). doesn't mean i don't enjoy watching him fight. Fact is I'll enjoy his fights even more, as the BS is now out of the way, and he'll have to concentrate on the fighting.

The invincible aura is gone, let's get back to basics.

God forbid someone could separate themselves from the pack or at least let people believe he could for a while and people cant enjoy that period?

Everyone knew the man wasn't invincible no one is but I think most aren't cyclical enough to just enjoy the ride when it was there.

[TheDrunkenOne]

Just outta bed after last night!

Looking back at McG fight I feel he got sloppy. He cut Diaz and was pounding on it too much and trying uppercuts losing his focus imho. I never seen him miss so many punches before. Diaz is a tough scrapper and did his usual stuff and deserved it. Twas good to watch

[Wombatman]

Very telling interview

[dobby]

anywhere to watch back all of last nights fights?

There's a good torrent up already. Just downloaded it there to watch later.

This is great, thanks. Love Alan Alda.

His part has destroyed my ambitions. He's set the bar for misanthropic curmudgeons so high that I will have to leave the field in the hope that some of the younger generation yourself, the Sitch, PSV or Chad to name a few can dedicate their energies towards achieving this kind of greatness

Nothing worse in sports than people who preach that you shouldn't enjoy seeing someone's demise or failure.

Seeing your rivals lose or the guy you hate getting knocked out is one of the best things about sports for f*ck sake.

Wholemeal spagetti is the thing you try and then put the remainder in the back of the cupboard in the hope you'll never have so little food as to have to have it again.

There is only one supreme spagetti - Spagettini (Barilla do it). Ultra thin spagetti.

LOL, threw that random post in to see if someone would refute it. Didn't take long.
Even the spagetti gets it in the BBV.

Will try Barilla though.

I'm gonna save it for the europa league . I no longer ever bet on united, normally lay them but didn't today as I thought they might win tbh, I did bet on overs this game though whoops.

He's still bitter about that time he was passed over for promotion for being a white middle class man.

Dwarf Bread

“The dwarf bread was brought out for inspection. But it was miraculous, the dwarf bread. No one ever went hungry when they had some dwarf bread to avoid. You only had to look at it for a moment, and instantly you could think of dozens of things you'd rather eat. Your boots, for example. Mountains. Raw sheep. Your own foot.” - Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad
