OT: Apology to China

[Tannin]

Just out of a sense of tradition, of course.

 

[NRG = mc²]

I'd be surprised if anyone posts here :smile:

Except me of course.

 

[time]

Only a fool would post here.

I resemble that remark Sir!

 

[CougTek]

Please gentlemen, stop talking and keep quiet. Mister Post 1000th has arrived.

;-)

 

[Tea]

Fine. Going to do the other 993 posts yourself then?

Err .. welcome aboard Coug.

 

[DrunkenBastard]

Why hello there Tea you sexy young thing. Fancy meeting you here! Care for a drink?

 

[flagreen]

Careful DB, you don't know where she's been.

 

[flagreen]

Well now that DB has graced us with his presense all we are missing is the Japanese Lady who shoots scrambled eggs out of her ass to make this site an official Bar and Grille.

 

[Tannin]

Tea claims to be of indeterminate ancestory - it's kind of hard to tell under all that hair - but, to the best of her knowledge, is not Japanese. She most certainly does not do that ... er ... thing that Flagreen refers to.

And she's a little shy, doubt she'll speak for herself. (Was that a blush I glimpsed?) But, thankyou DB: perhaps a gin and tonic for her.

Ahh Flagreen, I think you have mistaken that act with the Thai girls and the ping pong balls ........

 

[flagreen]

They may have been ping pong balls when they went in, but they were definitely scrambled eggs coming out. Eww...... yuck.

That had to be one of the worst posts ever...

Don't ask me why I ever downloaded that video...

Forum seems incredibly fast.

Who is the service provider?

[HellDiver]

Oh, yes, the AtC... "They tried to shoot it, they tried to drawn it..."

I'm getting the idea that this thread is going to catch some cold on our funerals!

 

[Tea]

Just for you, Helldiver.

And '59 was a very good year.

 

[Cliptin]

My older brother was born in '59.

Who was the jerk that suggested Guiness as good beer? I started a pint the other day but I wasn't happy about finishing it.

Don't ask me either...that was nasty as can be! There was no describing them eggs.

 

[flagreen]

Who will be 1000th poster this time? Only 982 posts to go!

 

[Santilli]

Yeah Baby!!!

Hi guys!!

[flagreen]

Welcome Greg!

 

[The JoJo]

Hello Santilli, and everyone else!

 

[yesnomaybe]

Guiness does not travel well; the stuff you get in Ireland is vastly superior. Having said that, it is still largely an acquired taste.

 

[Santilli]

Thanks Flagreen, and company

[Tannin]

Greg, that must be the shortest, most succinct post you've ever made. Are you becoming another EBB in your old age?

 

[HellDiver]

Nice to see ya, Greg. Welcome aboard!

Tony :
Yeah, I've seen quite a few of those lately from Greg (on SR, anyway). I think Greg's going through some tough time. Personal problems, perhaps...

 

[Pradeep]

Umm, guys, make sure you read the little bit of text in the post subject area of each post, Greg likes to use that and it can lead to confusion

Good to see you Greg!

 

[HellDiver]

Oh! (Damn'! I'd never figure looking that way, I must admit!)

Maybe it's not the personal problems thing after all - it's simply the switch to phpBB2 affecting him - Jive didn't have "subj" field for every post, IIRC!

On the other hand... I don't remember Greg being so... short on words, so to speak...

 

[Groltz]

Took the OS upgrade plunge last night. It's now Groltz XP 8)

 

[Tannin]

Another victim of the dark side.

 

[Santilli]

Best of all worlds

Nice to see you all, and nice to have a place where the forum members can continue.

Glad to see you all here. Great time for a change for me.

[flagreen]

Did you catch the Shane Mosley fight on HBO this past weekend?

 

[Santilli]

No, How was it?

I guess this guy has had Mosley's number since Olympic trials?

What happened?

Thanks

gs

 

[flagreen]

He destroyed Mosley. Put him down in the second, then went on to thoroughly whip him through the rest of the rounds. It was not even close. Mosley lost a unanimous decision and his title. The Guy who won reminds me of Tommy Hearns. Tall and lankly with good power for his weight and plenty of speed. Did I see where Bernard Hopkins is going to fight Roy Jones? That ought to be good if it happens.

 

[Santilli]

Roy Jones

Flagreen:
I saw only one of Roy Jones fights, a middleweight title fight.

The guy put on a fair to unimpressive show, winning by decision. He fought pretty much the entire fight with a jab, and hook same hand.

Turns out he broke, or injured the other hand in prefight, or during the first couple rounds.

THAT was incredibly impressive. Seriously scary.

I worked out next to Milton McCrory and Thomas Hearns in Kalakaua Gym. I think I hit way harder then McCrory, or, he may just have been taking it easy, at least that was my observation watching and hearing his punches, vs. mine.

Hearns was at least 175, more like 185 when I saw him. He was huge, and hit a ton. I talked to the old timers, and they said the only guy they can remember hitting as hard as Hearns was George Foreman. Foreman would lift the bag up, airborne, off the chains, when he threw upper cuts.

Frankly, Roy Jones maybe one of the greatest of all-time, with no one to fight.

gs

 

[flagreen]

Yeah it's a shame he can't get a fight. It could be such a great sport if it wasn't for promoters and other scum being involved. Of course no one wants to fight Jones anyway. I saw one of his attempts to move up the heavyweight division a while back which appeared too much of a stretch for him. He won but was unimpressive in doing so.

I'm impressed you got to work out with those guys. Need a manager?

 

[CougTek]

Greg is more at the retirement stage of his boxing career than at the beginning. Roberto Duran, who is about as old as Greg (50), retired for good last week and he was one of the oldest active boxers up to then.

 

[Santilli]

Jazzed today

Roberto Duran was my idol. As a lightweight, champ for 8 years, 5 titles, kicked Leonards' ass. Just an incredible fighter. Take a punch, hit you super hard with both hands,
hands of stone...
As a lightweight, he was the best of all time.

Ray Arcel and Freddie Brown for managers, really the original dream team.

I use one of their techniques. You tie your feet together with rope, shoulder width apart, at the knees, or lower, and try to fight like that. It teaches you to keep your feet out of the bucket, and gives you more punching power, with both hands, on your combinations.

I thought Duran was the best of all time, until I saw a tape of Sugar Ray Robinson...
As Ali said, Ali was the greatest heavyweight of all time, but Sugar Ray Robinson, pound for pound was the greatest fighter of all time. Why? He had a whole bunch of guys, that if not for Ray Robinson, would have been the greatest of all time. Marcel Cerdan, Randy Turpin, Jake LaMotta,
Bobo Olson, that welterweight from the midwest that kicked ass, all of these guys were incredible. Most moved up and won the light heavy title, since they couldn't beat Ray at middleweight.
Plus, his record, 222-and 20 something losses will never be equaled, or approached.

Worked very well for me.

I also got my ass kicked by Dennis Alexio, the undefeated world heavyweight Karate champion, who is a better body puncher then Mike Tyson, and, if he ever fought Tyson, would give him a good fight. Mike has 10 pounds on Dennis.

Anyway, he was trying to hit me in the heart, and stop mine. I blocked one with my arm, but another I turned, and caught it on the end of one of my ribs, breaking off the tip.
Hurt for 4 months.

The upside is I spared him for days, usually 5 -10 rounds a day.
And, the reason he was mad is he put his head in the middle of a beautiful 7 punch combination.

since knee surgery, today was the first day I've felt really good on my legs. I went full court, as the only ref, for a 9th grade girls game, for about an hour and a 1/2, and was out running the girls on the break.

I'm jazzed.

Lately I have been practicing a bit of another martial art.

It mainly involves 45 caliber, and JEHH would enjoy it.

:lol:

 

[Santilli]

Brain damage, and, nose damage

The other part of fighting is, after doing it for a long time, even though it doesn't look like it, the septium on my nose is whacked out of position, and needs to be moved back so I can sleep, and breath.


Temporary memory loss is another affect long term exposure to heavy punching by Dennis Alexio caused.

Too bad. I enjoyed beating up the Philipino pros in the gym, who were lighter then I was, and less experienced...

I guess I do have a bit of a mean streak...
gs

 

[Santilli]

Perspective:

Those guys I named, had records like 105-2 for Cerdan.
Lamotta was similar, but with something like 6 losses to Robinson.
Turpin likewise, and Bobo Olson, all, were awesome fighters.

Ray Robinson took on and beat, the best welters, and middles for 25 years.
