good talk

The "Irish Travellers" are a nomadic group who have roamed about for centuries.  They usually work semi-skilled labor jobs such as roofers, bricklayers with 10 thou in Ireland 40 thou in Britain and even 10 thou in the U.S.  Devout Catholics, the girls are usually chaste at marriage when they marry into an insular gene pool which DNA Testing has shown to be the same as l000 years ago.  They look the same as other Irish.  The "Travellers" have a long tradition of fighting usually bare-knuckle but also boxing.  There's big ships which regularly ferry people between Britain and Ireland and when I was in Europe recently a guy told me that there were Travellers on the ferryboat that he was on and they were having their little boys square off and fight each other right there on the boat (We should be safe if we stay on their good side).  Tyson Fury (Luke Tyson Fury) is a Traveller whose record as a heavyweight boxer is 21-0, this past April 20 he fought the good Steve Cunningham at Madison Square Garden getting off the canvas in the 2nd Round to score a KO in the 7th.  The 8th ranked Fury is to fight the 3rd ranked David Haye on Sept. 28 (HBO).  Fury is 6 ft. 9 in. and 250-260 lbs. and while probably not all that skilled his size and strength and will to win makes him a factor against anyone, I think when he meets Haye it'll be Luke Fury's night.
