    On and off, I've been playing for pennies on probably 5 sites for a decade. I don't think I used Cyc though. I've been on PartyPoker for what seems forever. :)

    Ron is right, I dropped the 111.

    As for the fight, I don't think it was rigged. I can't see why Bob Arum (who has both fighters) would wanting to destroy his cash cow. Manny is where the money is, not Horn. I honestly thought Horn had won, but I'm not the best judge in the world.

    Maybe he doesn't see him as his cash cow for much longer and he's trying to groom a new one?

    Seems I have used cyclonc111. I just found a 2009 result when I picked up a whooping $9. :)

    I've been known to play. Mainly on Pokerstars. I just realised the guy I was thinking of was named Peanut111 and now I recall you also had the 111 on your username here once Ron said it, I was getting the two mixed up.

    My biggest bets are $1 tournies. But heaps of my time is spent playing 6 seated Badugi for play money. Nice folks.

    I'm in a game at the moment.

    Big fight in Scotland this weekend, a couple of UK local Super Lightweights put it on the line for the Commonwealth and WBC Silver Title. The Commonwealth champ Josh Taylor risks his belt while Ohara Davies sticks his WBC Silver strap. Betting has Taylor at 8-11 and Davies at 11-8. For me Taylor looks a bit too classy, but the face off below has a bit of the "in your face" we saw from Kell Brook and his team before the Spence fight. It scares me a bit. Anyone smell a bit of fear or is it just my imagination? Still, my cash would be on him.

    I've done quite a bit of reading in the last hour or so on the fight. As I said, I sort of lean towards Taylor, but heaps of boxing folk who've been interviewed say Davies will ko Taylor, they seem to thing Taylor won't be able to stay from Davies power. 29-10 a Davies ko.

    After just seeing the face off, I'm beginning to hope for a Davies win.

    Good fight this one, be very surprised and disappointed if Josh Taylor isn't too good for Davies. Davies carries power and a big gob but he's a level or two below Taylor from what I've seen of him. Taylor is a much more accomplished boxer and fights like an old hand, despite the fact he's really inexperienced in the pro ranks. I think he'll make Davies look a bit silly, but it's boxing and we can all be wrong at times!

    Daniel Dubois fights tomorrow night too, few decent bouts on around the place.

    I agree mate Taylor could end up being pretty special, i really like him and think his class will shine through
