The Calzaghe v Lacey fight

One of the best performances ever by a British fighter, it was truly awesome. This guy Lacey was meant to be the favourite too, Calzaghe just took him apart.

The Woods v Johnson fight last night was classic too, it was feckin brutal stuff

I thought Johnson got a very rough deal last night, he's clearly the better fighter and did enough to get a draw at the very least

It's because he's Welsh...

We're a bit like that

I did think that...it's the way he's really disciplined and classy, until he takes a hit, and then just gets fecking livid, drops his guard and just throws haymakers at an alarming rate
 
That fight reminded me of the destruction caused when the supposed hardest around of our age picked a fight with my mate John.

The ex-hardest kid of our age was English...thus proving my theory
 
Hang on, i've found it...

A mate of mine went back to his village in Wales for the first time in ages. He took his Karate instructor and the instructor's girlfriend. As they were chatting, up came 'Mad Patrick', one of the local hard bastard family that 'runs' the village. Don't really know what that means, but essentially you don't mess with mad Patrick or any of his presumably equally unhinged brothers.

Anyway, along comes Mad Patrick, grins at my mate, takes the Karate instructor's pint and slaps his girlfriend's arse. Instructor goes, "Excuse me mate, I don't want any trouble but I have to inform you I am a 3rd Dan Karate instructor. Please either leave us alone, or we can step outside."

Mad Patrick steps outside. Out goes the instructor. There is a crunching sound and a series of dull thuds, and the barman rings for an ambulance for the instructor. What had happened is, he went out, Patrick nutted him in the face and then kicked the shit out of him on the ground.

Would never bet on a martial artist against a committed nutcase. Especially a Welsh one. Except Davo obviously, you could just dance round him occasionally kicking him in the head...
 
Hooray

I'm delighted to hear Mad Patrick won the fight, particularly given it was the karate ponce that started it...

A victory for justice, and more importantly, Wales
 
There's something else about Mad Patrick, another friend of my mate's, but this time one from the village, got thrashed one night, and boned some older strumpet...who turned out to be Mad patrick's mum. The whole village knows this, meaning he can't go back there, and lives in fear of his life, or something, but I can't remember.
 
My wife's Karate instructor got into a similar bind. He was a 5th dan and hospitalised 7 scousers and got a prison sentence for aggrevated assault but the conviction was quite rightly overturned on appeal.

Moral: Never pick a fght with a nutter who is also a 5th dan.
 
I used to box as a kid. Ridiculous sport when trying to learn the ropes..

All about discipline and not going feckin mental when someone keeps jabbing you on the nose.....Calzaghe's probably not very good at this bit either.

Davo = Calzaghe, when it comes to boxing. Clearly
 
I had the opposite problem in martial arts...whenever I lamped someone in the jaw, i'd be overcome by remorse and keep asking them if they were alright, while they danced nimbly around me, kicking me in the head.

I've remembered the Mad Patrick thing...the other bloke does still live in the village, and everybody knows about him boning Mad Patricia, or whatever she's called, except Mad Patrick. So the bloke lives in daily fear of Mad Patrick finding out, and everyone else has him by the balls.
 
Calzaghe is class.. ya see he took on that american with only one good hand for most the fight? :eek: cant remember the fellas name:confused:
missed this fight though, might youtube it later
 
Davo & Plech, your celtic superior theory would be beleivable... if it wasn't for the fact that Calzaghe is of Italian origin.

Italians: best fighters in the world...... according to Davo's theory.
 
Italian origin, but Welsh

The spastic 'superiority' bit is Davo's not mine...I was just suggesting that it's the Welshman in him that fights disciplined until someone clocks him, whereupon he goes fecking mental and throws a load of (admittedly very effective) haymakers

The trouble with the argument is that Wales is a little province of England and has been so for around 800 years or so. You weren't too good at getting yourself out of that. Too busy shagging sheep and talking like spastics.
 
Fighting is definitely all about discipline. Not loosing the head. Not letting frustration get to you. That's why street fights never last any longer than 5 minutes especially after drink. You loose the head, go in for something spectacular, miss and fall flat on your arse. Usually followed by kicks to the head. Dangerous stuff
 
professional boxing is indeed far from a street fight.

Calzaghe is a quality fighter though, its a shame his career has been so slow! Although he himself is at least partially to blame.

Was the first time I though Calzaghe was going to lose and he really proved me wrong.
