I think to build a following and sell tickets you need at least a live opponent or someone with local connections. They're putting him in with some randomer from Ghana. I understand he's young but people lose interest quick.

I think Joshua and Eddie get a lot of hate because of Matchroom/Sky. A lot of fans don't like the fact they hype obvious domestic level at best fighters such as Connor 'the destroyer' (lol) Benn to the max when more deserving talent is out there. I assume people thought Joshua was just a hype job too but he's done okay so far hasn't he! I just think that most people won't watch boxing outside of sky sports on a Saturday night so putting on the same crap rubs people up the wrong way. Looks like they are after Ortiz, which is good. Its a much harder fight than the Miller one

Bookies are closing down in my local town due to the change. They must of been making a killing on the roulette as that's all that has changed I assume.

You've distracted me with a picture of a sexy man. Bet his moustache tickles. Will do it soon boss.

Looks like a serious tool that. Sexy. Pull me about with a chain attached to my lip ring and ride me like a pony!

I've lost a lot more in my life but I'm a bit older than you. Keep the thought of all that money in your mind as a reminder as to why you're not going to gamble again. It can only get worse if you go back to gambling and can only get better if you don't. Dwelling on lost money in a negative way can lead to chasing losses. Turn it in to a positive and use it a spring board to a better future.

Here's my weekly telling off by @RichieFC for being late. Spank me Richie!

You're doing great my man! Any urges at all?

Hahaha. I had to look close to make sure it wasn't actually me

Great post man and I'm sure an all too familiar story for a lot of us. I can relate to a lot of things you put here. Your age at the time was similar to me too. Funnily enough I was entering similar poker tournaments too in my younger years and I won a ticket to the local casino but I didn't go in the end. Not that it made any difference mind as the path of destruction was already being followed. How's it going now if you don't mind me asking? Do you still have problems with gambling?

I have 43p in my bank of any of you ladies want some asda value noodles. My treat. Your house. Oh and you will have to buy me a train ticket too. A minor inconvenience though.
