Corner advice: Greg Jackson to Condit against Rory. Psychological Vs technical
Did Jack die?
Where the fuck are you jack??? Get your ass back to work
Probably been working on his stuff for the card this weekend. I don't think he's doing stuff about shit cards for the most part (last two were awful). So hopefully that means some bangers before this weekend.
Hey slackyJ, if you loved True Detective, you'll love Disco Elysium. It's as close as you'll get to playing a video game version of True Detective - but set in post-Soviet Eastern Europe
DE was also the highest-rated game on metacritic before BG3 came along. Just sayin
No Teddy atlas mention for corner speeches??
Not a corner speech but I'll never forget the courage Teddy had to convince the judges to switch the winner and loser after the judges got them mixed up on their cards.
Shibata is back wrestling yeah in AEW. He doesn’t do the headbutts anymore thankfully. On the Nakamura knee being named after the Rumble in the Jungle, another cool combat sports reference in wrestling is Ijia Dragunov does the Hendo flying H-Bomb as his finisher. He even calls it the H-Bomb (he actually hits the mat beside the opponent as you know actually hitting them would knock them out)
Jack speaking positively about my boi, Ya Boi, is the sweetest of Halloween treats. I KNOW that FCG's coming.
The Mackenzie Dern of clowning the learned… alas, I am wounded
Season 2 of True detective is a mess, but 3 is damn good television
True Detective is such a good show. The connections to real life franklin credit union shit is spooky.
Sort of answering my own question but I remember Matt Hume telling Tim Boetsch to take 5 minutes to set up a stoppage when he was down 2 rounds against Okami. Seemed like a much more useful thing to point out than just saying "we need a finish".

I read in the Larry Holmes biography that Dundee would fire up good ole racial fervor if his fighter happened to be losing, white, and racist lmao. Using the N-word as a psychological prod, bless.
I like the scissor sweep, like a lot of old school sweeps, when you can up kick. As in old school kick you in the face as hard as I can if you are brave enough to try and pass or strike from your knees jujitsu.
Jozef Chen is a Chinese germ combo
Ricky Hatton, historical combat, cosmic horror, and Tim and Eric—this boicast has everything!
Regarding HEMA, the most famous authors are: Joachim Meyer, Fiore Di Liberi (flower of battle guy), Hans Talhoffer and Johannes Lichtenauer. There's also the "Royal Armouries Ms. I.33" which I'm told is the oldest surviving european fencing manual.
Jack check out www.wiktenauer.com for a lot of sources like https://wiktenauer.com/wiki/Goliath_Fechtbuch_(MS_Germ.Quart.2020)
Jack if you like King and Yellow and True Detective, check out the horror anthology In a Lonely Place by Karl Edward Wagner. In it is a short story called "sticks" which was the inspiration for the stick lattice structures in TD, and the last story has a King in Yellow subplot tie in.
