Hands Up Who Likes Boxing?

Bugger. George got done. Hainey the deserved winner. Neutralised Georges overhand right with that lightening fast left jab. Georges old man knew he had to step it up by the 8th round, but Hainey did what he had too.
Anyone see the old war horse Lucas Brownes fight. All 1:58 seconds of it. Fighting a bloke 10 years younger. One for us oldies! Loved his shiit talking after giving a gob full to Barry Russell who thought he should’ve retired.

I'm no aficionado of boxing but that fight was one of the more boring ones I have seen.

Georges team said they‘ll go away and come up with a different game plan for the rematch (if it ever happens). I’d suggest the only game plan would be to take your Stihl chainsaw into the ring and cut off Haneys left arm. Otherwise Haney will just do a repeat.
* By the way did anyone understand anything Fenech had to say post show. Kent wasn’t far behind. I dare say they shared a chaff bag full of Bolivias finest.

Here is the dark side to boxing. The bloke is still in an induced coma. Just finished Uni gaining degrees in Zoology and Botany. There is nothing funny or entertaining about this incident.

Jeff Fenech wins 4th world title!

Jeff Fenech says “boxing is a better sport” after one of the great sporting injustices was finally set right.

Fenech has been retroactively awarded a fourth world title after the World Boxing Council (WBC) overturned the controversial draw in his first fight against Azumah Nelson in 1991.

The decision to award the bout and belt to Fenech came at the WBC convention in Acapulco, Mexico, more than three decades after the original decision.

Seems a bitter/sweet moment to me.

Big knockout by Tszyu today.
Brutal finish to win the title.
Definitely a HIA for Harrison.
