Marvin 193 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Wonder if it shows the parents stood at ring side screaming at their own kids how much of a disgrace they are, how they have humiliated the whole family name and if they don't win they are in for a kicking when they get home .............. yes it does happen, not by all travellers but a fair few. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,118 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 [No i dont mean its a gypsy run boxing gym. Its a properly controlled boxing gym. Its a club that Gary Spike Osullivan is part of. And no i wouldnt be ltting any of my kids get involved in unlicensed or bare knuckle boxing. no i know mate i wasnt directing that at you i just meant in general.........whatever has led to this obssesion with gypsy fighting i dont know....but its not good for boxing in my opinion and definately not youngsters. I dont think boys should be introduced to any sport that young but thats only my opinion and thats only from a sporting point of view not a parents...so not saying im right like.

I think bare knuckle fighting and travellers have been linked for many a year but it was Guy Ritchie and the film Snatch that made it "cool".......Read Bartley Gormans book a good few years ago, very interesting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
