well done guys. Some tough looking opponents there.

chprt · 12-09-2012, 21:43

for an outsider it may seem like the irish lads are ****e

Having fought at these tournaments before, I can assure you some of these countires send monsters over and how some of them make the weight, I do not know. I spoke to a 20YO Ukrainian with over 175 fights when I was at a tournament, so the Irish lads are always up against it.

If youve seen the size of nortons legs, you would wonder how that danish lad stopped him with leg kicks, so they have to be top notch

well done to the lads and lassies that fought
