Fight Fans: Mayweather vs Mcgregor

[Kranswurm]

I never knew that, I know his brothers got into some trouble with the law and Jimmy fell on some hard times but I didn't know that.

 

To be honest I thought he was a chuckle, he was a product of the times, nothing more nothing less.

Wow, he has lost a lot of weight,......can you imagine wearing that shirt.  ​  

[CAAD4]

Nothing like a gastric bypass in the morning...

Shirt? I thought it was a picture of them pitching a tent!

He's an evangelist in Heidelberg, Gauteng. I saw him approximately 3 months ago, he hasn't really gained anything after that pic with the yellow shirt. No gastric bypass as far as I know, just put his head down and lost weight.

Wow, all credit to him, to turn your life around like that is something else, not easy.

Yah, .... I have to say Jimmy looks pretty normal here.

He is actually just an ordinary bloke who's been around the block a couple of times (up until 10 years ago mostly gravel...) and yip, how he turned his life around is pretty amazing.

 

I'm probably going to see him next weekend, will post if you're interested.

Ha, remember this guy? I never saw any of his matches, but it was amazing watching him on YouTube.

 

Prince Naseem Hamed.

 

Variously referred to as the "most exciting fighter" and "the most talented fighter to ever live" (Wiki) he apparently preferred the rock 'n roll lifestyle to the long hard training camps and the long times away from his family.
