ghost i had a tough time watching the fights last night and when i saw that i thought the round was over. I turned to my buddy and asked him "did he just hug him"? Like Weasel said all the signs were there for all of us that thought this dope would win and we all should have at least no bet it. The twenty pounds heavier was the big clue. almost like the guy was just happy to be there. He will never see a penny from me again. Im sure he will eventually talk about how he realized it is time to get serious but in my book it is to late. I don't know what is worse to bet in this sport. The dumb fighter or the terrible chin. I know i didn't get sucked into taking Lidell. I need to start betting the other guy in these fights instead of just passin on them. another thing i have to stop is betting a guy blindly without seeing him fight. That is what i did with the guy that fought Pyle. Just stupid.
I totally agree. I didn't bet the main event, but I would have much rather lost my money on Chuck. Dude fought like a gangster and came to win. He hurt Rich several times. His chin gave in, but he showed mad aggression and TRIED TO WIN the entire time.
Pat Barry is a complete sucker. Never seen anything like that.
I lost on Manhoef against Lawler earlier this year, and that was really bad luck. Manhoef wins that fight 8 out of 10 times.
But Pat Barry last night? That wasn't bad luck. That was just a bad bet by all of us. Guy is a straight up can and it goes beyond lacking "killer instinct". The guy didn't care if he won or lost. Even when he was winning the first round, I was worried. HE DIDN"T CARE IF HE WON OR LOST.
When I bet a large amount of money on a guy, I want to see him GOING FOR THE WIN. I never saw that.
When Cro Cop got the choke locked in, I turned away from the TV and just curled up in a fetal position. Blocking my eyes. Thinking of what a complete idiot I was to bet on this loser.
Amazing how a night can turn. I was looking like a damn genius after Dunham and Kampmann took care of biz. But betting on Pat Barry was DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB.
