Just to introduce myself .....

by Oddy81 Mon 27 Jun 2011, 6:30 pm

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself as a new member.

I have browsed the forum for a while so felt it was about time i signed up. There are some posters on here who put my own boxing knowledge to shame but i hope to add something to the various debates.

I have a massive interest in boxing starting from staying up to listen to Tyson Bruno on the radio with my Grandad when i was a nipper. It's fair to say i'm an armchair fan and i watch all the shows on tv, the only big fight i have ever been to see was Ricky Hatton at the MEN against Vilches ..... not the greatest night in the Hitmans career but the atmosphere was pretty amazing pre fight.

Anyway, i look forward to getting involved.

Warm welcome aboard, Oddy.

Hope you enjoy being here, and we look forward to your contributions.

welcome mate

by **88Chris05** Mon 27 Jun 2011, 6:33 pm

Welcome aboard, mate. If you're a fight fan of any kind I reckon you'll love it here - the section is always busy, we have some great posters and there's some cracking rivalries between a few of them n'all. Enjoy!

Welcome to my forum mate. Its great to see new members. You are very welcome. A question for the mods is it alright if I warn our new friend of certain members on here?

by **HumanWindmill** Mon 27 Jun 2011, 6:46 pm

by ONETWOFOREVER Mon 27 Jun 2011, 6:47 pm

Fair enough, welcome mate have you ever boxed before?

by Oddy81 Mon 27 Jun 2011, 7:03 pm

Hi,

No need for any warnings, i have been reading the forum on and off for a few months so i'm well informed Wink

Never boxed myself, whilst i love to watch the sweet science the thought of getting whacked in the face never appealed enough to have a go myself.

I have done a bit of basic boxing themed circuit training and heavy bag work so can in a very small way appreciate the hard work that goes into being a boxer even before the punches start flying.

by Sugar Boy Sweetie Mon 27 Jun 2011, 7:08 pm

Welcome aboard mate, look forward to shooting the boxing breeze with you.

Welcome to 606v2 Oddy.

by Mind the windows Tino. Mon 27 Jun 2011, 7:25 pm

Welcome aboard Oddy. I am relatively new here myself and it is a great forum, it really is.

You would do well to avoid some of the WUM's on here though. I would say HumanWindmill is probably the worst. He has never heard of Free Radicals and actually thinks Harry Greb existed. Crazy stuff.

by Steffan Mon 27 Jun 2011, 7:26 pm

Welcome Oddy. If you are well read in the ways of 606 you have probably noticed that I am one of the more knowledgeable members on here. If you need any advice on boxing or if another member is twisting your melon then just let me know. The screws...sorry...mods do a good job but a bit of extra muscle doesnt go a miss. Im kinda like the main man around here so stick with me son and you will be fine

Regards

Steffan

Wlad Klitschko :

Spoiler:

by Sugar Boy Sweetie Mon 27 Jun 2011, 7:30 pm

Steffan, why the picture of wlad? Is this your way of letting us know you're rooting for him because he's fighting an Englishman?

by BALTIMORA Mon 27 Jun 2011, 7:32 pm

Sugar Boy, just be grateful his post wasn't written in italics...

I cheered on Khan when he fought Maidana and Amir is about as English as you can get so no its not because of Hayes nationality and I have promised not to mention nationality. When it comes to Saturday il be in the pub with everyone else shouting "Kleeeeeetchko Kleeeeeetchko Kleeeeeetchko"

by Oddy81 Mon 27 Jun 2011, 7:35 pm

I'll keep that in mind Steffan although i'm also curious about that picture ...

by Steffan Mon 27 Jun 2011, 7:37 pm

Its my tribute to the greatest heavyweight of the last 10 years on the week building up to the biggest fight of his life thumbsup

I'm Trussman, I'm American....

My favourite drink Truss, is the American whisky....Jack Daniels. Double on the rocks with a splash of coke please baby. Plus his grandfather was a Welshman who emigrated to Tennessee

Used to like Jack Daniels and Jim Beam back in my party days...

Now I leave spirits alone.....

Even when a ghoul popped into my bedroom the last time I pleasured my Wife..I neglected to punch him out... Wink

Pervert...but I hope you got some good tips from the perfect lover.. Wink

by Steffan Mon 27 Jun 2011, 7:52 pm

Oddy81 wrote:Why?

Because Wlad is the man. And he conducts himself very well. I think articulacy is a good advertisment for the sport rather than the perception that all boxers are thick and thuggish which some people tend to believe

Well much like Jack Daniel...she has got a lot of American in here and a little bit of Welsh Laugh

by TRUSSMAN66 Mon 27 Jun 2011, 7:58 pm

I find Haye to be articulate...Just like Ali et al..around fight time he gets into the hype..

You don't want him to win because he's English....

we all know that kid why bother to deny it.

Iv promised not to mention about boxers nationalities. And as I said I cheered on Khan and he is as English as you can get

He's very articulate, and very astute. Sure, he's not multi-lingual but being English he's never had to be. Oh, I know Wlad has a degree but seriously, what's it in? Sports science? Not a proper subject then..?

by BALTIMORA Mon 27 Jun 2011, 8:03 pm

Steffan given that Khan is English of Pakistani descent I can only assume you're either talking out your rear or on the wind-up when you say:

... I cheered on Khan and he is as English as you can get

by TRUSSMAN66 Mon 27 Jun 2011, 8:03 pm

The thought of Germans and Ukrainians celebrating should make all the BRITS get behing Haye even more..

I have nothing against Germans or Ukrainians though. Dont know why you have to be honest Truss

by BALTIMORA Mon 27 Jun 2011, 8:06 pm

Steffan you're painfully transparent with the anti-Brit stuff...

by Steffan Mon 27 Jun 2011, 8:08 pm

Im not bringing nationality into it. You lot are. I want Klitschko to win. That is the end of it. If you dont like it then I cant help that

by BALTIMORA Mon 27 Jun 2011, 8:09 pm

Course.

by Steffan Mon 27 Jun 2011, 8:10 pm

Anyway I think Haye will win so you lot will be happy and I will just have to eat sour grapes

by **HumanWindmill** Mon 27 Jun 2011, 8:12 pm

I can see where this is heading, so perhaps I can save some time. If nationalism becomes the central topic, whether it be pro Welsh, pro USA or pro Mongolian, with the sole aim of winding members up, I shall be locking this quicker than anybody can say ' native of the People's Republic of North Korea, actually. '

by Steffan Mon 27 Jun 2011, 8:18 pm

I agree Windy. As I say I want Wlad to win but I think Haye will beat him by TKO. I dont know why the bookies have Wlad favourite to be honest. Im hoping that Wlad can work behind the jab and avoid big punches. Its gonna be exciting either way. Haye will win but I hope im wrong

by Eric Da Cat Mon 27 Jun 2011, 9:31 pm

The bookies have wlad as favourite because he's the natural heavy with the proven pedigree at the weight. He also has distinct physical advantages in a weight class with no upper limit. I'm with you steffan I think haye will shock people in this fight, but with wlads incredible consistency and track record at the weight it's not hard to see why he's the favourite. Suits me though, the longer the odds on haye the better.

Agree with Tino that Windy is the biggest wind up merchant going, likes to throw his authority around all the time, generally a distasteful character

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 27 Jun 2011, 10:47 pm

Right young upstart, isn't he...
