At least they won't have to spend any American taxpayers money on headgear. How novel. A bunch of women boxers all of them looking like Mahmud Abdullaev. After he lost to Cotto.:laugh11:

 

Steve_Dave, are you trying to bait Irish again with this work of fiction? :nono:


This is the perfect storm. All the boxes have been checked. Frothing he is right now, simply frothing.

 

It's a slow burn right now............it will build up, it will build up indeed.

I couldn't help myself. I'm sorry.

 

We have women boxers over here. I trained under Katie Taylors father, Pete Taylor, not to be confused with Peter Taylor. We also worship at the salty altar of Mary Kom. Most familiar with these dame.

As for these Afghans, most people end up with a flat face after a career in boxing, not before they start boxing.

Still, I commend Steve_dave for his recent conversion to the worship of the Central Asian boxing scene. It has given us a great many talented fighters. Chagaev. Klitschkos. Jirov. Maskaev.

 

Jirov was cool. :bears:

Didn't mind Maskaev or Chagaev either.

 

We see your Afghans and raise you Katie Taylor.
