boy george v joey barton in a fight

It's on the undercard of the Gok Wan Vs Louis Spence fight.

1/10 would be the value bet of the century.

Young, fit, aggressive, athletic footballer with a bad streak v Old, unfit, former drug abuser, heavy drinker and smoker.

No contest.

It's part of the "Gays in Gloves" extravaganza.

Yes Diva after racing at Kempton on boxing day, unless George is too tired after pushing Cue Card into a place in the KG.

a fist fest

It`s being promoted by Harry Hill.

I'd have a go at that 6/1. Barton is a mouthy moron.

"Yes Diva after racing at Kempton on boxing day,"

Have you just made that up?

I've seen some funny things on this forum over the years but Boy George being the Northern Irish amateur boxing champ has to be up there!

Also laughing at Makybe's dad who's now gone to bed wondering why his son is asking strange questions about Boy George at gone midnight!

boy george was booked to star in rocky 3 but replaced by mr t

the original character was to have been named culture clubber lang

I boxed a bit in my mid teens. Don't know if I ever mentioned it.

I have never heard that he was that but I have heard, and have always been under the impression, that he did do some boxing when he was younger.

So, do you all think I'm a man then?

Yes, Kenny, you have

You're not annie are you, MD.

No!

some might have missed it MD.

Apologies if you're a woman Makybe, i just sort of assumed that a username on a betting forum chatting about boxing would be a bloke.

I fink Dewey is..

I boxed a bit in my mid teens. Don't know if I ever mentioned it.

Yes, you spent alot of time looking up at the stars

My post at 00:43 was for Kenny.

Boxing  stars, can't work that out.

"chatting about boxing"

I'd hardly call it that

you're giving me a lot of smiles tonight MD.

On Twitter they're arguing whether they both should wear pink pants

Boy George says he's gonna write his own intro song. He's calling it 'The Pink Pounder'

So, do you all think I'm a man then?

You seem infatuated with Judoricky - but that doesn't really narrow things down much TBH

"you're giving me a lot of smiles tonight MD."

Yes, I am, aren't I? I'll stop it now then.

"You seem infatuated with Judoricky

Rick is my best mate in cyberspace. I've known him years.

He will tell you I'm a woman.

Night all

night MD

Poor BV must be going spare not being able to post on this!

I remember reading a couple of articles a long time ago where it was mentioned that he'd boxed. If memory serves me right one of the comments about this came from the fella in drag Marilyn who used to knock about with him and had a minor pop career. I've no idea to what standard he boxed or if this is indeed correct.

Undoubtedly, the decision to set his new music video in a boxing club is a nod to Gerry, who loved boxing and spent much of George's youth hopelessly trying to instil the same passion in him. If only he'd been around to see his son finally take it up in his 50s, as part of his exercise routine.

George's next project is a rewrite of the musical Taboo: he wants the last scene to be him and his father boxing. "I think it will be beautiful," he says with perfect serenity.

The Sunday Times Magazine

He was no more of a boxer than the thousands of other kids that get dragged down to the boxing gym by their dad`s. No glittering amateur  career, no recorded fights no nothing!

Poor BV must be going spare not being able to post on this!

Yes indeed, PTC!

His dad was the manager of the boxing club, so more than likely to go there more often than the average kid.

A very unseasonal spirit pervades this thread



My stuff is an uncorroborated stream of conciousness where detail and accuracy are fairly low down on the list of priorities. It's the chit chat way, imo

heard George did box a bit ............ wernt very succesfull " he went down to easily " by all accounts!

stfu AG, I know what I'm talking about he started young and was forced into it by his dad, boxed as a junior to a good level has discussed it in interviews

fcuking ****, you don't know everything so fcuk you

expect you're under 30 so missed most of Boy George's early career

Judo has given us a Christmas Cracker there Biscuit

George`s early career!!

I'm not sure an inaccuracy  on chit chat is that big a deal AG - accuracy certainly isn't ( I include myself there )

I wouldn't be surprised if George fought behind a ramrod left jab, utilizing his reach

He had pretty decent footwork for a big man from what I recall of his Karma Chameleon video

to batter someone's head probably.

And Alan Carr was a high class centre half for Newcastle!


You weren't far out, his dad was a pro footballer. I remeber him at Bradford Park Avenue.

in their last season in the Football League.

Chief scout for Newcastle as well Kenny, and many more. Plus various coaching jobs.

But as i said it don`t make Alan a centre half!

ah, so you knew then!

Yes Kenny, George and Alan Carr were both the `pink sheep` of the family obviously but both had macho dad`s who had a lot to do with sport and as kids both boys wanted to please their dad`s. Alan Carr run about the side lines getting excited and happy clappy at football matches and Boy George enjoyed the skipping ropes(especiallly the ones with pink handles) down at his dad`s gym.

Anyway where has Judorick gone?

ha ha, as I said earlier, to batter someone.

I don't know much about 718, an unusual gentleman in that he joined Betfair at the peak of the EEA/North America financial crisis, but the above comment puts him imv in the pantheon of betfair colossi with treble, crisp77 and DwD.

Makybe Diva is a woman.
Mr Makybe Dive is her husband, not her dad.

would defo take BG Joey just been KO'd by a squirrel

Barton sent off today.Not sure if he was fighting an imaginery Northern Ireland schoolboy/cross dressing boxing champion.

Just read this pleasing thread.

And they said chit chat was dying.

Well done chaps!

one of you have upset judorick because he's been on the specials forum all night

I don't like telling tales but it was MC.

A classic 'roid rage outburst from Judorick, from nowhere he just lashes out in an uncontrollable manner because someone dared disagree with him

What a kn0bber.

I can confirm that Boy George has a strong clinch technique.  He grabbed me once for a slow set and I only just managed to wriggle away.  Big unit and a long reach.

Ju`do really want to hurt me
Ju`do really want to make me cry

He will be back if Cue Card wins the King Boy George on Boxing Day! How ironic.

Not since its contentious Chinese ban has Google suffered such an ignominious defeat.  Mr Makybe, although semi-comatose, instantly recalled Boy George's aptitude in the ring, yet the overrated internet giant has nary a mention of the androgynous bruiser's pugilistic prowess.

I shall ask Jeeves in future.

Entertaining thread by the way.  Good work, gentlemen.

"Mr Makybe, although semi-comatose, instantly recalled Boy George's aptitude in the ring, yet the overrated internet giant has nary a mention of the androgynous bruiser's pugilistic prowess."

Yes, it's very strange, because I definitely remember hearing Boy George talk about doing some boxing. I was a big fan back in the day and saw lots of his interviews.

Perhaps he did some boxing in his previous career as a dress maker.

He was known as the cardboard kid, worked in a big unit and was handy with when `delivering a solid parcel`

I've read both of his autobiographies and there is no mention of him doing any boxing, although he does mention his brother

Very funny a classic!!

When will Judo be returning to the thread to apologise for his outburst?

Stating to think that Makybe Diva might well be a personna of Ricks.  No way any outwardly nice, pleasant person which 'she' comes across as, could tolerate and excuse his regular bad behaiour.

rick wont be back for a while as he had a max bet win on Strictly Come Dancing. He has now had 4 out of 4 max bet wins on the specials this year, he certainly knows his stuff.

I think this has the makings of a reality TV hit. Mincers versus dribblers with Ant N' Dec. Coming up next; Wayne Rooney takes on Marc Almond to go in to a title eliminator against the winner of the John Terry versus Limahl grudge match.

I like your thinking HRH

Graham Norton versus Vitaly Klitschko would be a rivetting contest

The Arthur Jones story has just been updated with the legend's encounter with the Culture Club frontman (.http://bofod.com/aindex.htm)

Surely the ringside seats for Tatchell verses Danny Dyer would be like goldust.....

classic bongo!

The Teapot Running International Championship was recently renamed in Arthur's honour.  Here's Declan Donnelly about to present last year's trophy to John 'Two Jugs' Lescott from Hull.

Just for Judorick

stfu AG, I know what I'm talking about he started young and was forced into it by his dad, boxed as a junior to a good level has discussed it in interviews

fcuking ****, you don't know everything so fcuk you

I have an insight into this. My mate once saw somebody take the mick out of Boy George, the bloke was huge and wouldn't let it go. Boy George very quickly not him out! Boy George is more than handy.

^^^ sorted him out

6-1 Boy George would be the bet of the century 1-50

Whether he can throw a punch or not Howdi, he did not have a career in boxing.

Judorick says

george o'dowd was northern ireland amateur champ i believe, certainly very talented would destroy barton

bit like terence trent darby who was a golden gloves champion

fair enough gab, neither did joseph

missed this 1st time up, v funny

What a thread - Gold dust

not quite as good as the 36 inch chest live on lettuce leaves and soya beans whatever thread but pretty close

I had a fight with a poofter when i was a lot younger,i couldn't believe it when he beat the sh1t out of me.

Don't you mean into you?

boy george very hard when he gets himself into the ring

nice to see HRH the Lager "Imran" Khan back.

Had to look through this to see if there was any mention from kenny of when he did a bit of boxing... and of course there was

AG - nice bit of dredging

Alas, now you have JR on your flank

when I was at School it was always the kids with learning difficulties that were handy.

This was a classic.  Did Rick ever mention it again, haven't seen him on here for ages?

Never seen him mention it since Pokermonster, not sure his ego will allow him.

He should learn that to self mock is spiritually liberating.

Glad you weren't disappointed, crags.

And I'm glad that you're glad, kenny

Some old traditions on here are quite amusing, others not so much.

Top fishing here by Judorick

Fyffes ffs.

9 months passed since the thread started, gotta be in Joey's favour imo - he's back in the Prem while George is preparing for Culture Club comeback tour...if Joey's promoter fixes the fight for after the tour, I'm with Barton big time.
