Ah... it's good old fashioned fisticuffs, in a bizarre new world.
It's a common stereotype that Irish folks can be a little rough... it might have something to do with this surly leprechaun putting up his dukes.
Or perhaps it was this other leprechaun that indiscriminately slayed his way through several sequels:
It's impossible to say for certain.
What I can say is that I've stumbled upon a pot of martial-gold when looking through video footage of Irish bare knuckle boxing... which turns out to be a bizarre and wonderfully violent subculture within the Emerald Isle.
In fact, these two dudes are nice with the hands. Good head movement, good counter-punching, and it's just fantastic to see two talented Irishmen slug it out for an OBNOXIOUSLY long round... and then group hug with a whole batch of ruffians.
Now... a good fight does not make a bizarre and wonderful subculture. For that, you at least need a camera, a YouTube channel, and some of the most horrifically bad trash talking known to man...
It's like a drunk version Irish version of the WWF, without writers or the burden of cohesive thoughts, and it's wonderfully bad.
(By the way... some people have been having a tough time receiving my emails... if you have a second and feel like doing me a favor, please white-list my email address.
I have no idea how... so... you would have to google it.)
You da man!
