Dennis Orcullo - Bad Form

I paid for a few KO fights that only lasted 2 rounds. I payed to watch them, so they should wake the guy up and make him fight 10 more rounds.

You must not be much of a fight fan if you expect them to send a guy out to get hit in the head after he's been KO'd. He's most likely already suffered a concussion, any further insults to the head could lead to permanent damage to the brain, or even dearth.

Most great boxers have so much heart they want to keep on fighting even after the ref stops the fight, or their corner throws in the towel. On the rare occasion that a fighter just quits on his own, the long term damage is more to his reputation than anything else. Think Leonard-Duran II.

Pool is a wholly different thing. No risk of any injury in this case, except maybe for Orcullo's damaged ego. Dennis is a great player (when things are going his way), but he is showing increasing disregard for his legacy with this sort of behavior. If he keeps this up he'll have more haters than Earl does.

Dennis is prob the favorite in most games
And he is ahead head to head against Shane
But I wouldn't bet on it

Little insight
Most people say sky got Shane number on bar box after double dipping him regularly and beating him

Dennis gambled bar box 8 ball make what you take with sky and beat him 15-3
Sky couldn't get staker again unless got 2-1 on the money even then he couldn't get it and he played Bergman instead

poor example - imo, you are comparing apples to aardvarks.

unscrewing because your opponent is playing better than you is not quite like a bullshit ref call trying to steal a match from you

again, imo.

I agree with u here KC. Spot on.
 
Jay, they're bad mouthing your residential house guest/pro. My first thought is "Get in their Maverick and engage." But watching it play out is more entertaining. More popcorn?

it's a little different when one instance is a thug robbing someone on the street

vs

a man defending his family from an intruder.

That's exactly right. It's silly to try to compare what happened to Shane at the MP cup to what Dennis did..... It's not the same thing at all, not even close.

That's why pool isn't a sport. Never has been. Never will be.

Read the full definition of the word sport.... Learn something.


http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sport

Actually, you don't even need to read it all, just this part is enough to classify pool as a sport even though there are more parts of the definition that does as well.

an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature.

Brian,

I know you and I aren't best bros or anything, but I hope to buy you drinks after this thread.

I'm appalled that there were no penalties or further consequences. He shouldn't have been allowed in the one loss bracket.

Have a great evening,
Patrick

Pool is a sport that is a fact. Your opinion means nothing because it is simply an opinion not based on fact.

How about during the CSI 8b tourney where Shane was knocked out of the tournament, then was brought back in after Ralf forfeited.

That was very lame in the part of CSI and Shane and was a total injustice towards Ko.

Who preceeded Ralf & basically threw the game to him?
