Bilbo's Three Weekend Wishes.

[Phil]

Hey I have been in plenty of fights...I haven't ever kicked anyone and I haven't stomped any feet either. I know most people fight without honor but I do, I'm sorry if you take offense to me not hitting you when I knock you on your ass but it's not my style....I'm a peaceful guy, I'll give you the chance to say "I was in the wrong, let's go get a beer and forget about all this"


Fight without honor all you want but I do when I have to ....I'm not a guy who goes out looking for and/or picking fights which is probably why I don't fight people who kick and fight like little bitches.


Sorry to disappoint you....but MMA is appreciated by douchebags.....look around....see the guys with Affliction t-shirts, tribal tattoos, barb wire tattoos, piercings, and bad attitudes.....they didn't get hugged enough by their mama's and now they spend each night trying to attract whores who they don't really want to do anything with and end up fighting people they don't really want to fight.....just go to therapy bro, it's easier and you get to keep all your teeth

hmm...ok lyle you fight with honor and you've been in plenty of fights.

IMO in a street fight there is no time for honor, you gotta be the asshole type (you dislike cause your just showing off) to ask your oppenent to get back up so you don't have to hit him while his down or you just straight foolish. I know for a fact anybody that lets me get back up is a fool cause that would be the only chance he had to beat me.

I think its childish to speak of honor then make a statement of shooting someone who fought without honor in order to save himself. I've been beaten up but yet won a fight, thats how it goes. a real fight both guys get beat up. when one isn't beaten up thats not called a fight, thats just called a beat down. and this fightin with honor you speak of is only seen in movies or spoken of by dreamers or two guys that mutually agreed to fight that way but a real street fight there is no agreement thats why you fight cause theres a disagreement. Anything other then that is a sport even mma is a sport cause there is agreements. So lyle were those fight you been in sports? or streets?

I wouldnt kick someone in the head when there down in a street fight, imo its just cowerdly, if the guy gets up and wants to keep fighting then just drop him again, yeah u take the risk he might get up and drop u but thats life.

You woke up and decided to cause trouble this weekend didn't you??

Unforunately i'm going to be out while the Hatton fight is on.. I was looking forward to it as I just got a high speed internet connection for the first time ever!

Before I was sharing 100kbps with my dad, now i've got 600kbps for myself so I would have gotten to see the fight properly...

I think i'm actually going for Hatton... I'm not sure where he's heading these days, but i'd like to see him get the most out of the end of his career. Hopefully take another couple of good fights in the states..

It was very unfortunate he and his body weren't able to acclamate to becoming a true welterweight as that is by far the most exciting division in boxing at the moment and Hatton really being in the thick of it would have been great to see....

Anyway, good to see ya round Bilbo... It gets a bit when your not on posting as much...

Legion dragged in a dead Donkey the other day to beat whenever he made a witty Bilbo comment but you weren't around to take the bait... I think he gets lonely without you..

Why is kicking associated with a lack of honour or a street fight mentality?

It takes tremendous skill to throw a perfect kick, certainly harder than throwing a punch, and why exactly is it dishonourable?

I've trained in both and I'm not so sure about that - i think it just depends on your standards for each

I'm talking about world class martial artists like Cung Le, Cro Cop and Anderson Silva. Their kicks are simply sublime, not just straight kicks to the face but they use their legs to sweep, throw and choke out their opponents.

Let's look at some examples of each.

You can also add Remy Bonjasky and Jerome LeBanner to that list as well

Why are sooooo many people on here so against seeing a rematch with Mayweather Vs Hatton?I think a rematch would be fantastic.It would generate twice as much hype and action from both fighters as before...Dont tell me im wrong on that note.FACT!Only time will tell.

don't think there'd be that much hype because for the first fight they were both unbeaten, and alot of people thought Hatton had the style to beat Mayweather. Also if the fight had been close there'd be more demand for a rematch i.e if it was a split decision/close decision but Mayweather won pretty convincinly. Also there are other fighters than Hatton who deserve a shot at Mayweather and there fans would be pissed off if Mayweather was to fight Hatton again instead of them(Cotto, Margarito)

Dont get me wrong!I would love Mayweather to fight Cotto after all he's the Mandatory challenger!If theres two fighters to stop Mayweather unbeaten record it'll be Hoya or Cotto i reckon.Still i still reckon Hatton rematch fight would gather tonnes of interest weather Mayweather remains Undefeated or not from the Hoya fight in Septemer or the long awaited fight with Cotto.

[Kev]

I don't think the fight should even be sanctioned. It's not only a complete mismatch but Hatton would clearly only be performing for money so technically a form of prostitution.

Hatton offers to humiliate both himself and British boxing by agreeing to let Floyd 'turnbuckle' him again this time in front of 50,000 British fans.

He's no different from the fat girl at school who lets the lads finger her in exhange for money to buy a mint Aero.

yeah true with Hattons fan base I guess his big fights will always gather
big intrest, Im not sure the Americans will buy into it which might cause a problem, still if Mayweather was to go to England to fight him I know I'd be on the way over to watch

90,000 loyle fans in the new Wembey over in the U.K will witness a great performance of the HITMAN next year at the rematch.90,000 not 50,000.

Yea well Hatton has been there done that for Floyd... Floyd would slaughter him with in 6 rounds in a rematch

That's even worse not better. Why do you want us as a nation to suffer an embarrasment on that scale?

90,000 screaming British fans silenced as Floyd gives Ricky another check hook, this time bouncing Hatton off two corner posts and then out of the ring into the lap of the HBO commentary team.

At least Violent D would have his avatar set for the rest of 2009.

Guys you can rip on me because I fight with some morals and ethics...no I don't use gloves and no there are no refs and no I don't go out looking for street fights either.


Even Kimbo Slice when he was beating up bums in backyards and parking lots wasn't going to kick them or hit them when they were down.


I'm sorry but I don't believe any of this "street fight" bullcrap...as I said before when was the last time you saw two grown ass men in a street fight kicking each other?


If you can't win with honor then what's the fucking point?

All these people who are so taken with MMA and say how it's "the closest thing to a street fight" are probably the same kind of people who don't see anything wrong with 8 guys jumping one harmless little guy and beating the life out of him.....if I have to fight someone then I am going to do it with my fists!


You feel free to fight like a sissy if you want to...it's not going to make your tribal tat any cooler

Thats probably a good thing seeing you would probably get your ass kicked anyway

Even Kimbo Slice when he was beating up bums in backyards and parking lots wasn't going to kick them or hit them when they were down.

Dumb argument since Kimbo fought for money and they had a gentlemans agreement on the rules, so it was sorta like an organized event

I'm sorry but I don't believe any of this "street fight" bullcrap...as I said before when was the last time you saw two grown ass men in a street fight kicking each other?

If you have the ability to defend yourself and use your feet, elbows and knees whats wrong with that... 2 summers ago I fought and beat a Bouncer of a strip bar who was giving me shiit outside the place, I set him up with a Thai leg kick got inside of him landed a few elbows and had him up against a car landing knees on him until he gave up.

If you can't win with honor then what's the fucking point?

Self preservation and to stay alive

All these people who are so taken with MMA and say how it's "the closest thing to a street fight" are probably the same kind of people who don't see anything wrong with 8 guys jumping one harmless little guy and beating the life out of him.....if I have to fight someone then I am going to do it with my fists!

I dont see the relevance of bringing a gang fight into this Call me a sissy all you want but If I am forced to defend myself I choose to go home to my family and live another day

[El Kabong]

The majority of street fights aren't going to be a "fight to the death" so stop being so fucking dramatic about it!


If people REALLY want to fight they will do it the right way....for the most part they aren't going to want to fight unless they have some psychological issues which need some working out via a good ass whipping.


You can fight however you want to...I fight the way men fight and not little assholes who took tae kwan do/juijitsu/karate classes when they were growing up
