The title above this post is meant to highlight the decline and shame that people like Chisora, Haye and Warren are inflicting on boxing.
It was not my intention to watch the so called boxing match on Saturday night; I did not bother to check the pay per view cost as I did not consider any cost no matter how low as worth paying. 15 minutes before the start of the fight my daughter who knows I am a boxing fan came down stairs from her room where she had been watching TV and switched the TV we were watching to the live bout between Vitali Klitschko and Dereck Chisora while explaining that the pay per view system had malfunctioned and the bout was being shown free so, Paisley man that I am I watched it.
Had you asked me on Sat. Feb. 11, 2012; one week before the fight; who Dereck Chisora was I would have been unable to tell you; I humbly submit to you that as a quite keen boxing fan the fact that I had no idea who the 'contender' was for the heavy weight boxing championship of the world which was about to start gave me pause for thought. The thoughts going through my mind were of no great comfort to me as I watched him in his corner looking like a night club bouncer and a dead ringer for Charles Laughton as Quasi Modo in the "Hunchback of Notre Dame" The broadcaster had helpfully shown us his antics at the weigh in where; face covered in a mask he slapped Vitalo Klischko like a big girl whose makeup had been stolen, he then went on to spit in the face of Klitschko's brother Wladimir. I don't want to sound hysterical here because I have watched all kinds of shenanigans and stunts between competitors but he should be finished for this.
The parasites who are never far away from professional boxing like Frank Warren, will now try to get him back in the ring, no doubt hoping that this episode will sell more tickets and sadly he might just get away with that. In British heavyweight boxing at the moment there is no show without 'punch' or as he's known in the profession 'punch bag' David Haye. His humiliation against Wladimir Klitschko who used him like a sparring partner in their recent title fight and threw him around the ring like a rag doll when his fists got sore punching the back of his head as he ran away is back because he can smell money from a gullible public, this should not be allowed to happen! enough is enough.
Chisora who is 28 years old is being praised by some people who should know better for his showing against Vitali Klitschko who is 40 years old FFS and has not fought much since serious back surgery 2 years ago, Chisora took 1 round out of 12! As I said FFS! we laughed at stunts by Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Liston Etc. but this is not in the least bit funny, Chisora and Haye are embarrassing and people are paying to watch them, neither of them could fight sleep. John L Sullivan, Gentleman Jim Corbett, Bob Fitzimmons, Dempsey, Braddock, Jack Johnson, Joe Lewis, Marciano, Ali, Frazier, Tyson and the blameless Klitschko brothers who do what it says on the tin by beating everyone who gets put in front of them are being spat on by these bums and now it has come to this. Where is it going to end? not since the days of Primo Carnero "The Ambling Alp" and "Two Ton Tony Galento" whose catch phrase was "oil moider da bum" has heavyweight boxing sunk so low, is it time to pack it in I wonder? Or what would be more acceptable, is it not the time to say people like these and the others who are dragging the sport through the mud have had their day and kick them out once for all. Heavyweight Boxing has been around for hundreds of years graced by some of the names listed above, it would be a shame to allow a bunch of shysters and shake down artists like these people to drag it in to oblivion, can people like Warren, Haye and Chisora continue to bring shame on the sport that gave us Ali, Dempsey, Marciano and Joe lewis.

I couldn't quite manage to plough through all of your hyperbolic prose, Councillor, but I gathered the drift and I entirely agree with you. You see, in some things you really are just an old-fashioned conservative!
Councillor,in your Hall of Fame, let us not forget Eric Joyce, Pride of the Education Corps, Expenses Claimnant Extrordinaire, Bar-room (Subsidised) Brawler, Labour Member for Falkirk and, clearly, thick as a plank.
I assume Eric is a friend of yours, so when next you visit, my compliments to the dear lad on his scheme to dent the Coalition majority by duffing up the chaps on the opposite side... very Joe Stalin,with a hint of the Fidel's and perhaps a touch of the Mayor Daley's, dont you think.

If Mr. Joyce is guilty, I like to put in that if; I’m old fashioned that way, due process, that kind of thing you wouldn’t understand. But if he is guilty what does that tell us other than when it comes to late night thick as a plank men (officers of course)involved in drunken brawling. You can take the man out of the British Army but you can’t take the British Army out of the man.

I made plenty of references to shysters, parasites and shake down artists, perhaps I should have just said Tories.
I seem to remember the justice minister got himself into a bit of drunken trouble a few years ago but that seems to be different to the separatists
Kelly, where art thou?

I have been in the care of our wonderful NHS following a heart attack at New Year. I am now more than ever convinced that when the creator of the NHS the great Nye Bevan described the Tories as lower than vermin he spoke the truth.
I have been doing a lot of research, you would not believe the things I have found out.

McKaskill - Kept overnight in a London cell for being drunk and disorderly at an England Scotland. Now the minister for justice - only in the SNP.
Eric Joyce, violent drunk,is led away from the Commons in handcuffs, disowned by Labour, not wanted by his constituency party, but says he will remain in Parliament.
Thick as a plank, sensitive as Granny's Midden, but, the burning question on the minds of both your readers, does he enjoy your support, Councillor?

“but says he will remain in Parliament. Thick as a plank, sensitive as Granny's Midden”
None of which makes him unique in Parliament and certainly thick enough to serve as a Major in the Royal Army “Education Corps” why don’t you do a bit of historical research, start with Churchill the House of Commons champion cretin and inebriate. You might frown as I do on Joyce’s drinking and his relationships with women none of which are illegal but it’s just hypocrisy to get exercised by it, have you heard of Senior blue blood Tory Grandee Alan Clark? He’s just one example, read about him and then tell me why Joyce should be thrown out and Cark and many others shouldn’t.
Does he have my support? He never did but that’s because he is guilty of holding opinions which are IMO worse than drunken brawling with Tories, if you research him you will find a soul mate. Going by my own personal experiences the reason that these brawls do not happen more often is because so many of the people in the strangers bar at that time of night are too drunk to stay awake let alone fight.
The relative silence from other MP’s of all parties should have warned you not to go there but, this is you all over isn’t it. One of the things that this incident does tell us quite clearly is that you can take the man out of the British Army but you can’t take the British Army out of the man.
What about people claiming for food while the commons was dosed should they have resigned as well.remind me what happened to him?????

That would be Salmond (the spiv) a whole summers worth of London expenses claimed when the House of Commons was not in session and copious details of him popping up in his constituency at all times of day and night, how did he get away with that? How did the other SNP shysters get away with their dodgy claims as well, one was claiming for staying in a London hotel while he also claimed for a London flat!
Councillor, the only thing that exercises me, is... the man was arrested in the Commons and was led away in handcuffs but insists on remaining an MP for as long as possible and pulling down huge wads of our money.
Now, you must agree, none of the others you mentioned, sterling chaps all, (you omitted George Brown)are in quite the same league as your lad Joyce.

You remain a bad loser and you haven’t taken my advice. Go and do some research.
