Alrighty then! Time to dispel the bullcrap.

Red heads, not that many left, in fact many people joke about ‘em being species in danger of extinction. Vodafone made an ad about gingers getting together and procreating to survive (via their network of course).

Alcohol, lot of it. You should see the amount coppers take off people in Paddy’s Day. A good few of my mates call themselves proud alcoholics. My gran back home said that the Argentines descendants of people from Ireland behave the exact same in Buenos Aires as they do here during Paddy’s day. However I know a good few mates that don’t drink. So that stereotype is becoming falser by the year.

Potatoes come from Latin America, Peru is the place from which they most likely originated. They were brought to the British Isles by Royal Navy explorers. It just happened that with ridiculous farm inheritance laws, a real bad blight and a heavy duty tributes of other produce which had to be paid to Queen Victoria that the crop became associated with this country.

I lost…

I actually lost a fight… and the belt was RIGHT THERE!

I was so close to winning it, I saw it in my hands… and I lost.

I need to talk to someone, now. Somebody talk to me before I do something stupid.

Everybody looses at some point. If you always win, how can you get better?

Erebus May 2, 2010, 5:39 AM EST.

Comment ID #12774

DON’T GIVE ME THAT SHIT! I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE THE BEST!

I’ve spent months training for this… endless punches on the heavy bag, countless spars, weight check to lose twenty pounds EVERY fight.

All of that, and I lose to some shit eating ass wipe! He even had the nerve to try toshake hands with me after the fight wearing MY belt!

I need to fight someone, I don’t care who it is, I just need to fight NOW!

Jake May 2, 2010, 5:46 AM EST.

Comment ID #12783

If you lost, then you must not have been the best. It happens. Be glad you can still fight and beat him next time.

Erebus May 2, 2010, 6:00 AM EST.

Comment ID #12792

Erebus, I’m not particularly sure you know this, but this guy is pretty much a fraud. He can’t provide any sort of evidence to back up his claims.

Anyone can claim to be anything on the internet.

And on that note, I am not wholly surprised by these turn of events…

Cyo May 2, 2010, 6:04 AM EST.

Comment ID #12796

I was involved in the convo, so I know. But on the chance that he is real, I’d feel like an ass if I didn’t say something.

Erebus May 2, 2010, 6:05 AM EST.

Comment ID #12801

Eh, true.

I’ve found it better to ignore him. He’ll disappear eventually.

Cyo May 2, 2010, 6:07 AM EST.

Comment ID #12806

… Cyo, have you ever lost to someone?

Jake May 2, 2010, 6:11 AM EST.

Comment ID #12815

In a fight?

I choose who I fight.

In so far, knock on wood, no.

I do not fight anyone. I only fight those I wish.

If I don’t think you’re worth my time, I will walk away.

Wise men watch their foes, and learn about them and how they fight.

Fools fight any who cross their way and never learn anything.

Cyo May 2, 2010, 6:15 AM EST.

Comment ID #12827

So you don’t know how it feels like to lose?

Then you have no idea what I’m going through… I trained so hard for this, I was suppose to be the best, I promised my mom that I wouldn’t be weak anymore…

and I just broke that promise… I was going to win. I was going to prove to everyone that I’m not weak. I fell like I’m back in middle school again… I hate it.

WHY DID I LOSE!?

Jake May 2, 2010, 6:20 AM EST.

Comment ID #12836

Oh, trust me, I’ve lost other things.

Friends…

Loved ones…

Dreams…

The worst was when I screwed myself over this past year in college…now I don’t know if they’ll even accept me…this is my dream college too…T.T

Cyo May 2, 2010, 6:23 AM EST.

Comment ID #12838

Just because I have not lost a fight does not mean I do not know the pain of loss…

Cyo May 2, 2010, 6:24 AM EST.

Comment ID #12853

Losing doesn’t make you weak. Not trying to do better makes you weak.

Erebus May 2, 2010, 6:32 AM EST.

Comment ID #12854

Oh, and you are truly weak if you let this single defeat truly defeat you.

Even the greats themselves fell at on point.

The one thing that seperated them from the regulars was that they picked themselves up and continued on.

Not many are capable of such.

I wonder if you are capable…

Cyo May 2, 2010, 6:32 AM EST.

Comment ID #12856

…Erebus, are you reading my mind? O.o;;

Cyo May 2, 2010, 6:32 AM EST.

Comment ID #12861

…..No comment.

Erebus May 2, 2010, 6:34 AM EST.

Comment ID #12869

God damnit! I don’t know what to do!
I was suppose to win, that was my fight! He dosen’t deserve that belt!

I feel so pathetic… What the hell’s going on with me?!

Should I quit boxing? I mean… It’s pretty obvious that I’m never going to be strong… not with that loss. No matter how many matches I win, people are still going to look and say, “Yeah, but he still lost to him.” that one loss is still staining my record.

and the crowd… They were booing me. My last match they were cheering on about how I was going to be the greatest, now they’re telling me to go home…

I’m gonna kill him, the next time I fight him, I’m gonna kill him…

Jake May 2, 2010, 6:39 AM EST.

Comment ID #12871

Well, with that, I know where you stand.

And with that, I bid you adieu.



Unless this gets interesting, of course.

woah man, i think you might want to see a doctor, that additude ain’t healthy.

I know this is going to be the dummest thing I will ever say but…
I’m actually glad you lost.

Mike Tyson. Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion. The youngest man ever to win the WBC, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles.
Total of 58 fights. 50 Wins. 2 No contests. And 6 losses.

Muhammad Ali. Three-time World Heavyweight Champion. Considered one of the greatest heavyweight championship boxers of all time.
Total of 61 fights. 56 wins. And 5 losses

When people talk about these men. They talk about how they were the greatest boxers of all time. Of how they were top of the world. They never talk about the 5 or 6 losses they had. They don’t care.

So you lost 1 match. You want to be strong? You want to be the best? Then allow me to lay down some tough love…

Stop being a whiny little bitch. Pick yourself up, train harder, and keep going. Learn from your loss. Run the fight over and over again in your head. Learn to overcome it, and move on.

That. Or quit now and prove that you’re just as weak as you claim you are.

I would have liked Evangalion more if ti wasn’t for the random bullshit filler they randomly threw in constantly.

CaptainBaconMan May 2, 2010, 5:59 PM EST.

What? The random bullshit is called character and plot development! duh!

Yeah, like when they sit in a room and drink beer for five goddamn minutes and nothing happens.

@Maverik
Rocky Marciano
Record: 49 matches, 49 Wins, 43 Knockouts, and 0 LOSSES!

He was just like me. He was picked on as a kid, but he proved to everyone how strong he was. The only way one could be better than him now is if they have more wins or knockdowns than he did, and I was going to be that guy, I swore on my moms grave that I would.

7 matches, 6 wins, 6 knockouts… 1 loss. I’m nothing compare to him, and I broke my promise to mom.

She would think I’m pathetic, everyone else does…

Jake May 2, 2010, 8:54 PM EST.

Comment ID #13399

Oh jesus christ not this again.
KID. You lost. Get over it.

No one thinks you pathetic cos you lost they think your pathetic because you won’t stop complaining about it.
You’ve proven your strong. You’ve proven your good.
If thats not enough for you then your never going to be the best.

Jacob83 May 2, 2010, 9:00 PM EST.

Comment ID #13406

And what’s that suppose to mean? That this loss isn’t a big deal?! So far the only thing I’ve proven is that I suck, even my coach said so!

Jake May 2, 2010, 9:19 PM EST.

Comment ID #13407


Let me get this straight.
6 wins 6 knockouts and ‘supposedly’ you have put a guy in hospital (still not sure if thats true)
You don’t suck. Your good. Very good.
I’m actually kind of worried your going to go to my house and prove how good.
Your coach said you suck. Duh. He is your coach. He HAS to push you by saying things by that.
Listen.
Keep training. You sound like you have a lot of skill and even if you do lose you’ve gained more then enough wins to overshadow them.
If you think a SINGLE loss is that important you may as well give up now.

Jacob83 May 2, 2010, 9:25 PM EST.

Comment ID #13408

We’re still talking about this?
Geeze, I guess Jake had to learn, you can’t win all the time.
Failure is part of life, the mind of humans is set to mess up.
That is why we dominate over every other species.
And most likely to screw the world over.

Comment ID #13419

I would keep training… if my coach was willing to keep training me…

He said that I was weak, and that the only thing that’s important about boxing is winning, the soul purpose of training and fighting is to win the match, and I agree with him.

I lost, and he said he “Won’t waste his time with some pussy like me.”

My career as a boxer is over… and it’s all because of that fucking kid!

Jake May 2, 2010, 9:32 PM EST.

Comment ID #13422

Don’t listen to them Jake, they are imbeciles!
You have to beat the MOTHERFUCKING LIVING CRAP out of ANYONE that DARES to think they can beat you!!!

Polaris May 2, 2010, 9:34 PM EST.

Comment ID #13429

You’re right, I can’t let this bring me down.
I’m gonna find another trainer, and if nobody wants to train me I’ll train myself.
and when I fight him again, I’m gonna make him regret beating me. The next time I fight him, I’m gonna kill him.

Jake May 2, 2010, 9:38 PM EST.

Comment ID #13430

Sorry but I couldn’t help but laugh at that statement.
You think your career is over?
You have lost ONCE.
Profesionals have lost dozens more times then you and they didn’t stop.

And do you raelly care what the coach says? I thought you were the invulnerable brick that don’t take noting from nobody.
If he is going to take away the only thing your actaully proud of after all this then you sure as hell don’t need him.
Train on your own get another coach whatever you want.
Just get the hell away from him.

Oh and shut the hell up Polaris.
Your not helping.
