I plan on trying to keep updating this blog as much as I can over the next while, whatever length that 'while' may be. Invariably, I will lose interest at some point though. That's a heads up there.

My first rambling will be an introduction to moi in general, giving you an inside glimpse of the high-octane life of a graphic design student in Ireland. It's 'Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll' from wall to wall for me... well minus the drugs part... and the rock & roll... and sometimes even the sex too. :(
In general, it's all good though.

My real name is Eoghan, which means 'well born' in Irish. Over 24 hours of labour for my Mom has often left her questioning just what possessed her to choose that name, but there you go.
I'm 6' tall, with a stocky build, dark brown hair and blue eyes.
I have many interests, ranging from the obvious ones like music and film, to the more obscure ones... like HDR imaging and Ping-Pong.
I'm currently studying graphic design/visual communications, now in year 4 (of 5.) It's fun, I enjoy it for the most part, but sometimes I go through a creative dry patch, which makes it hell while it lasts.
I'm seeing a wonderful Chinese lady named Chloe, who provides sense and balance in my otherwise insane world of utter chaos and madness. Don't get me wrong, she is prone (as all women are) to going off the rails too, but generally she is a rock of sense and always takes the philosophical approach to mad situations... Like the female Confucius if you will... Confuciette?

As was expected, I'm now bored with writing here. If you read this and want to know anything else about me, let me know. I'm finito for now.

Cheers.

Never to think these thoughts and never to let
Them kind of thoughts gain ground or make yer heart pound
But then again you know why they're around
Just waiting for a chance to slip and drop down
"Cause sometimes you hear'em when the night times comes creeping
And you fear that they might catch you a-sleeping
And you jump from yer bed, from yer last chapter of dreamin'
And you can't remember for the best of yer thinking
If that was you in the dream that was screaming...

To disgrace, distract, and bother me.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,
And the dust of rumors covers me.
But if the arrow is straight
And the point is slick,
It can pierce through dust no matter how thick.
So I'll make my stand
And remain as I am
And bid farewell and not give a damn.

Nearly every hunch I had, had been involved in two or four fight; Matt Saad Muhammad/Yaqui Lopez; Ike Williams/Beau Jack; Ike Williams/Bob Montgomery; the great series of bouts at 130 in the early/mid 80s, involving Chacon, Boza Edwards, Limon etc…

So anyway, I eventually came up with

10 Griffith/Rodriguez: Three excellent boxing fights, Griffith loses the first, but comes back to win two split decisions, a point deduction for a low blow, stops Rodriguez getting a draw in the finale, that is how evenly matched they were.

9 Duran/DeJesus: Duran was the phenomenon, who had just beaten the brilliant Scot, Buchanan, and was having a non title defense against the unknown DeJesus; after hitting the deck in then first ten seconds, and dropping a decision, the Hands of Stone, would not forget the Puerto Rican again, in a hurry. Duran was floored early again in the rematch, with the title on the line, but got up to win in 11; and won the final bout of the trilogy, in 12, this time avoiding the early knockdown!

8 Griffith/Benvenuti: Griffith is the King of trilogies, this time though he lost two/one trading the Middleweight crown. The first fight saw both hit the deck in The Ring's fight of the year, as the Italian won the title by Unanimous decision. The rematch saw Griffith regain his title, knocking Nino down in the 14th, and wining a majority decision. The third bout saw Benvenuti knock Griffith down in the ninth, to regain the Middleweight title, on a Unanimous decision.

7 Patterson/Johansson: Three fights, that have gone down in history, their finale, was great fun.

6 Duran/Leonard: If the third bout did not suck, this trilogy may have been #2 on the list.

5 Barrera/Morales: These two hate each other with a passion, and all that hate comes pouring out in their bouts; perhaps there has never been a more intense trilogy.

4 Bowe/Holyfield: Seemingly every November in the early/mid 90s we got our latest installment of Bowe/Holyfield, and we were never disappointed.

3 Ali/Frazier: The second fight sucked, but fights one and three were truly historical.

2 Ward/Gatti: Not a weak round, let alone a weak fight, these two warriors gave it their all, it took something truly amazing to rob of them of the #1 spot but…

1 Zale/Graziano: Was the trilogy for which all other trilogies are judged, three brutal brilliant fights, that kept twisting and turning, and had two shocking endings.

The others I considered for the list were:

Nelson/Gans: Fight one was brutal, Gans winning on a 42nd round dq; a savage fight that had Nelson famously throwing up over the ropes! Nelson got his revenge in the other two bouts by 17th and 21st round KO's.

Moore/Charles: Anyone who thinks Charles is overrated needs to read up on these three bouts. The Cincinnati Cobra, made his reputation dominating this trilogy, over a near prime Moore.

Griffith/Paret: Infamous for the ring death, but these two hated each other with a passion and had three intriguing fights, trading the Welterweight title.

Ali/Norton: Three famous bouts that ended in 1977, when Ali controversially snatched the 'Clash of the Titans' by close 15 round decision.

Hagler/Monroe: The making of Hagler; The Worm dominated the Marvelous one, in their first bout (IMO, Hagler's only true defeat as a pro), but despite struggling with Willie in the rematch, Hagler eventually got on top to win in 12, and then blew Monroe away in two, in the finale.

Toney/McCallum: Two excellent fighters, who fought three superb boxing matches, McCallum was unlucky to only get a draw in their first bout, Toney came back strong to win the rematch and the third bout at Cruiserweight, showed both to be excellent boxers, despite being way past their primes, both in ability and weight.

Chavez/Randall: Two exciting and shocking bouts, started the trilogy, then much like Duran/Leonard, you had the sad final bout. ]]> Britkid http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingforum/blogs/blog229-top-ten-trilogies-old-article-i-wrote.html http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingforum/blogs/blog228-how-i-see-my-life-pictures.html Wed, 08 Apr 2009 08:14:27 GMT This is my life in pictures pretty simple really ...boxing friends good times , my animals and me ...:) take a look

He will now advance to internationals at Dallas, Texas.

I know I was fitter before my flu, but there's no point discussing what I don't have at my disposal.

Mentally, I suppose I'm fairly confident. I know I can do a Bernard Hopkins and negate all action.

So from my end I'm giving what I can.

But I'm sick and tired of dancing in the dark. I have no trainer, no support system and nobody to teach me anything.
I'm sparring guys - bigger, smaller, stronger or faster and I can manage them, I can handle them because I genuinely believe I have something special.
But to have no tuition, instruction or support at all.
How in the hell can a young guy that's willing to train as hard as he possibly can at a moments notice not find someone in his locality to show him something????? ]]> hitmandonny http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingforum/blogs/blog219-fight-friday.html
