I lost, dominated the 1st round with my boxing and had him just out then when i put him down he took about 20 sec's to get back up! survived the round and in the 2nd i got taken down and escaped and as i took him down fell into a guilloitine, had to tap as i was going to sleep!! thats the nature of MMA,

Hard luck in the fight Cowzerp, must be some experience fighting mma.
nice one on th pic! mans a legend

Great Photo Cowzerp, bet his handshake is crushing

By the way , why did you go to MMa instead of boxing ?

Somebody'll get killed in that sport one of these days... its pretty vicious isnt it ?
I mean , I watch it , and its very entertaining and all , but people oppose boxing on saftey grounds , where there is still a ref who will stop it at the first sign of real danger, a corner who have a towel ready (to throw in) , a ringside doctor who is active during a fight, a cutman , and heavily padded gloves.

I see MMa , and it's a bit blood-thirsty.
Fighters often take numerous shots after being ko'ed , its not too far off bare-knuckle, and moves like that guillotine , which i have felt myself personally are way too dangerous for my liking.
I watch fighters in submission holds, and fighters getting pummeled , lying there waiting for 30 or 40 seconds of constant punishment in a vain effort to reach the end of a round !!

Fair balls to you though , I know i havent got the gutz for it !

cowzerp · 11-03-2008 7:30am

odd-job, there is only 1 death ever from legalised mma, the refs are very quick to stop the fights and the ground punches are no where near as bad as boxing punches-boxing has numerous deaths every year and lots of brain damage thats not known about!

i love boxing though!

i changed over for a new experience, i done all i was going to do as an amateur boxer, i might give the pro game a shot though! the choke moves are uncomfortable if you never experienced them but they are harmlesss.

in work so can talk more about it later!!

yomchi · 11-03-2008 1:18pm

Hard luck Paul on the bout, fair play getting in though. I know your head from the boxing, I've probably seen you at a few events over the years.

cowzerp · 11-03-2008 1:26pm

Say hello if ya see me about, always nice to put a face to the name! you might have seen me gighting a few times too, i only stopped in the end of 05!!

walshb · 11-03-2008 2:47pm

Cool pic with the Real Deal....

Hard luck Saturday. Was the show good?

What's the plan on the pro boxing route?

cowzerp · 11-03-2008 3:46pm

The show was very good..
im either going to go to england for a few shows or there is a show with a new promoter coming up in a few months over here and i might be on that, if i do im going in as a lightweight! thats the weight i boxed internationally at! nothing is confirmed but im training full time and just feel i might aswell try it!!

c1979 · 12-03-2008 2:12pm

Fair Play Cowzerp, just a matter of interest what level did you get up to in amateur boxing?

cowzerp · 12-03-2008 3:44pm

The best i done was Boxing for ireland,in the irish team as a youth and as an intermediate too, i also was leinster senior champ, i was beating in the all ireland finals 2 times and on 1 occasion got a letter from the iaba saying that it was a bad decision but could not be overturned, that lad has my all ireland medal!!-this was because 1 judge effed up on the computer and scored him instead of me!
thats why i got the international recognition! i won by loads on 4-5 refs an all! the fight ended up him winning by 1 point!
i won 3 dublins and 2 leinsters and 3 league titles.
i always challenged for the all irelands but was beaten by eventual winners on 5 occasions!
my style would be more suited to the pro game anyway, or so im told!!
