Boxing champion Tyson Fury's father jailed for 11 years for gouging man's eye out

gouging a man's eye out over what sounds to be a dispute over a single bottle of beer, fuck it give him 20

[:::PSL:::]

I think they should gouge his eye out too.

An eye for an eye.

[HattonTheHammer]

did he just hold out his jabbing hand for 10rounds and then get given a decision at the end??

What do you mean, did you not hear him say how sorry he was? He just wants to get back to training his son, he didn't mean to actually poke out the eye. He said he would give his own eye back to him if he could.

I think he should be given another chance, as should all those in the travelling community.

As his lawyer said, although fighting is their way of life they are not violent people.

lol What is the travelling community ?

Fucking thieves and gypsys I would imagine.

In any case this is all very disturbing, sick, messed up, and hilarious.

"I'm the best man at this auction. I'm the best man in this country."

Who the fuck does this guy think he is ? John L. Sullivan ?

[Violent Demise]

What a little fag. Takes the fools eye out. Than apologizes afterwards for it. What the fuck is that all about?

I agree. Law is too soft on total scumbags like that IMO.

I remember an old thread in the Let's get it on section where Skel was talking about how he did his prison time in the UK. It sounds to me like camp Snoopy. Playstations, playing pool, having cellphones, Tvs, MP3 players, laptops, conjugal visits (basically being able to fuck your wife or gf), being able to play soccer/football, all on the government's expenses. So it's not really he's going to do time.

Hell if I had no job skills and no job and was a UK resident, I think I would like to commit a crime in the UK (something like assault with a deadly weapon on someone I hate) and get sent in a few years in a UK prison and just kick back and relax on the government's expenses.

pretty soft touch in the uk we are mate

this bloke will have the rule of a wing by the end of the week what with his gypsie background and the fact he can put spells on people

but power means very little in british prisons. Everyones too concerned with clocking halo 3 or getting to level 60 on their farmville accounts to be worrying about gang feuds

[Fatsandman]

So he announces to everyone that he is the toughest man on earth and then starts blubbing when a judge announces his punishment?

I do feel sorry for Tyson, 'sins of the father' and all that. Tyson has been in the media quite a bit trying to explain that what everyone is seeing in that 'Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' series is a stereotypical view of the Gypsy life and not representative of the travelling community.. Then his Dad goes and gouges out a man's eyeball over a feud involving an 11 year old bottle of beer and those stereotypes suddenly don't seem so far from reality.

After one look at John Fury's boxing record (http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hum...7680&cat=boxer) it appears that far from being the 'toughest man on the planet' he was not even the toughest man in the Brodsworth Miners Welfare Club in June 1989!

8 wins, 0 knockouts and 4 losses?? Surely the toughest man on the planet would at least have a punch on him? Thats probably why he traded in his fists for his fingers and started living through his son's glories..

It's not just the prisons that's soft it's the whole fucking country. I'm signing off the army in 6months and having a normal civvy job, getting paid better. fuck this country there's not much left to fight for. poor kids getting blown to pieces while a lot of the country is full of proud of it dole scroungers, all theses anti war protests going on calling the british army murderers, fuck off!!!! go back to your own country and get stoned to death for stealing a loaf of bread you racist pricks. don't know you're born!!
the soft prisons are well known throughout the world, just another example of how the country has gone to rat shit. I'm 27 and have never voted and never will. the entire government is full of twats out for themselves, ever see a poor politician?
rant over, sorry

[ono]

The should make a TV show abot the Fury family. It would be awesome.

[Hornfinger]

Throw away the key. This pond life has no place in society.

And his son is a joke of a boxer.

[Master]

He will serve half the sentence in Jail, it is a joke but the government want to keep people out of prison as it is too expensive.
