ukwingchunstudent: will be missed

I just want to raise the flag to half-mast for a minute and take some time to thank a dedicated youtube predictor, podcaster, twitter poster, fb poster, dedicated fan, and all round great guy, Wingy.

After several years of posting funny, insightful predictions and much more, he has decided to retire so he can enjoy his boxing as a humble fan again. Nothing but love for his decision. With over 3000 subscribers and countless views, he's been a much appreciated and enjoyed boxing fan. I would like to say thank you to you Wingy, you did a great interview for us at boxing 606v2, and to be honest, really got me through some dark days with your insight, loyalty and humor.

Hope you keep in touch bruv.

Here's his final post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU_N0PyKi_8

Much love,

davidemore & the online boxing community

I'm getting all misty eyed..

Keep talking, I'll make you misty eyed...

Expecting a tribute like this from you when I go!!!

The way Crimey seems to be flooding my PM box these days it may not be long..

Although it's always a pleasure to hear from him....

It needed to be said. When you go what needs to be said will be said, too.

Seriously?? Some guy you have never met stops making videos and there is a thread dedicated to him??

If this is the most important boxing related thing you have to offer??

I could understand maybe if he died or something (which is what the title led me to believe) but because he has put his video camera away it deserves to clamber up REAL boxing news/debates!?

Silly topic

Reborn can I point out the fact that by posting you keep the thread near the top of the board. (and yes I do see the irony inherent in my own post before anyone feels compelled to point it out)

Have to admit I don't know who this guy is so maybe he is a big fish.

Me I only watch youtube to look at the bodybuilders bragging about lifting less weight than I can shift!!

At least I hope it's the only reason........

Pay your respect.

Yeh, sad news. Got the impression he was sick of stick.

Pity, always found him pretty funny and insightful.

I know how that feels haha. He even banned me for 24 hours once for nout!

Some people felt the same the first couple of times you retired. After that it was water off a ducks back.

Not been a great time for boxing predictors / channels on YouTube just lately; Wingy going, Bigragu pretty much AWOL these days and boxinginfo just becoming more and more of a miserable sod with each video he does.

I'm just hoping that Davide and Truss step in to fill the void!

emore predictions: always true.

Wingy did a lot for the sport in the YouTube community. Funny, dedicated with vids, predicitons and podcast. Will miss him. As for Dee's comment. Yes, Emore made a post for someone he never met before. I never met HumanWindmill, either, but doesn't mean we don't miss his contributions to this forum every day.

Wingy made REAL contributions to the sport. The fact you didn't appreciate them means ZERO.

ZERO!!!!

The funny thing is he said he is stopping after making an Audley Harrison prediction LOL

That was funny. Audley finally retired someone!

Real contributions?? He just made videos trying to be funny. It wasn't my cup of tea and the last I checked this was a sports debate forum, so if I want to give my opinion that he is a fat boring waste of space to youtube with his videos shot from his bedroom then I shall do so. But he has never done anything all all to contribute to the sport except give his point of views. What does this do that is real contribution, if thats the case then Az makes a massive REAL contribution to the sport with his detailed outlook on Canelo's chin!

So ok, it might mean zero that I didn't appreciate his videos, but it also means zero that you did.

Exactly

Respect him Reeborn, respect this guy for the hours of joy he gave boxing fans.

I prefer to watch the fights and discuss it with you guys....I get far more enjoyment from you David

to be fair he was a big player in the Youtube community.

All is forgiven Reeborn. He was Alex, along with Hatman, Gamebino, Big Ragu and Dwyer one of the biggest.

Agreeing with Reborn for a chance, couldn't care less really.

To be fair to the guy he literally did a prediction for just about every fight going, must have taken up a fair bit of time.

Mate I'm just getting my tissues ready for the day when the great Dwyer calls it a day

Is this the same community that made a 30+ minute video of Donaire knocking out Rigo...

Dwyer better not retire!
