“It sounds to me like James O'Brien is a sad, pathetic moron with nothing better to do than throwing (what he thought were) anonymous insults at famous people via the internet. I bet he ******* his pants when he knew the boxer had located him. Get a life James, a job, some friends, a hobby. Do something to make your life worthwhile rather than pestering people whose lives have absolutely no bearing on your own.”
