    Isn't 'mick' a derogatory term that will get you punched in the face in an Irish bar?
    Gentlemen do not punch gentlemen in the face except for a purse.

        Yep. I found that to be a terrible nickname as Cooney clearly punched Holmes in the balls a handful of times. Not gentlemanly at all.

          I hope those cups they wear help cushion those ball punches. Doesn't seem like it too much from the reactions we see, like Rid**** Bowe's to Golota's nut shots.

            It will, unless you know the Irishman and use it as a loving form of greeting.

              Holmes not known as someone complaining that much, was clearly in agony after one of Cooney’s full blooded left hook to the nutsack. The cup might have taken some force out of the blow, but nothing can protect fully unless we talk armored steel.

                As long as a guys nuts can bounce around there will be no full proof protection. A cup helps absorb some impact but it can't prevent everything.

                  Cooney telegraphed that low blow so badly that Holmes smartly put his left forearm over his belly to block. However, it went about 8 inches south. Ouch !

                    Big Lar lucky the turnbuckle kept him upright after the big Snipes right which would have delayed the Cooney fight until after a Renaldo rematch. Why U guys not mention this ? Do I have to change U diapers too ?
