Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Congratulations my friend, Ben Yole is gone and good riddance. What a grub, liar, cheat and, worst of all, animal killer. I have known you for a long time Archie, and I recommended that you give up on him because of the death threats, abuse to your family, and you constantly being harassed, but you […]
Tim might do to Keith Thurman what his old man did to Zab Judah You would never have picked it when he was a well over the scale prop barging straight ahead for the Manly Sea Eagles, but big George Rose is a genius. He has to be, for how else could he secure Tim […]
The boxing world is abuzz with talk with a number of recent Australian boxing matches are under investigation by the authorities for potential match fixing. Two of the bouts in particular involve Paul Gallen, although at this stage there is no suggestion that he had any knowledge of the allegedly pre-determined outcomes of the fights. […]
He goes alright for a fat, lazy prick doing a law degree doesn’t he? See the soft looking young white kid in the picture? The flabby looking bloke? That’s my boy Noah Conlan, grandson of the former leading Brisbane rails bookie Hayden Flynn; son of the 2nd best looking bird in Far North Queensland, face of […]

Sally McManus (below), the Boxer Boys (above). From left to right, Australian amateur lightweight champion Jack the Ripper, former NSW Heavyweight champion the Balmain Boxer, and weight trainer extraordinaire, great Australian larrikin, gold merchant, and all round top bloke Digger Dave. The little prick on the left backed 3 out of 5, at odds too. […]
It’s Tim Tzsyu v the World. All the champions are tipping Tony Harrison to beat him. Or so the promoters claim. It’s a load of nonsense. Our man Tszyu is a threes on ($1.33) favorite to put Harrison to sleep, and quite rightly so. Harrison was a great fighter 4 1/2 years ago when he […]
If a harness writer is going to employ boxing metaphors to try and tell a story about the trots, then it would help greatly if they actually knew anything about boxing, or checked their facts. Marvellous Marvin Hagler and Tommy ‘the Hitman’ Hearns didn’t trade blows for 12 rounds in their 1985 fight – immortalized […]
