Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Sonny Bill Williams is one of the greatest Kiwi athletes of the 21st century. SBW won two NRL Premierships, two Rugby World Cups, the Ranfurly Shield, an ITM Cup, a Super Rugby title, an International Player of the Year award, and a World Boxing Association International Heavyweight championship belt. He is the youngest man every to […]
If there is anyone out there who still opposes or doubts the HIA rule, them I strongly suggest that they watch Spotlight on Channel 7 tonight. I have been given early access to a story that the show is running this evening about legendary Souths prop and hooker and former Footy Show panellist Mario Fenech, […]

The whole thing is a fraud. Ben Hannant is an old, fat, footy front rower many years past his prime. He couldn’t box to save his life, but because Gallen can’t either he was able to take him the full four rounds. It was a great pub […]
Good judges rate the 1985 Hagler v Hearns bout as the second greatest fight in boxing history, behind only the almost supernatural Ali v Frazier III, the Thrilla in Manila, and I agree with them. These two amazing middleweight’s went at each other toe to toe from moment that the bell rang, dazzling us with […]
We got it wrong in the Gallen fight. Sort of anyway. Kris Terzievski isn’t much good, we were right about that. Gallen can take a whole lot of punishment, we were right about that too. But we forgot that he punches like a fairy. How stupid of us. The two free cheap shots he took […]
Fight promoter George Rose is the Don King of Australian boxing, a born showman who could sell ice to an Eskimo and paint a copy of a 1973 Woman’s Weekly as War and Peace. He’s certainly trying to talk up Paul Gallen’s opponent tonight Kris Terzievski as some sort of superstar, which is so far […]
After reading our story about the boxer cum trot trainer Tony Peacock yesterday, racing historian and footy and boxing devotee Gold Coast Greg wrote in to let us know that A. Peacock is the heir of a proud lineage of pugilists who wielded the reins. Huge thanks to Greg for digging the info contained in […]
Trot trainer Tony Peacock used to be in the top ten in the world back in his fighting days. Most of us weren’t born then. Lester Ellis was five times the world champion. Ellis never got the kudos he deserved, because he fought in the golden Fenech era, and the Marrickville Mauler got all the […]
They reckon it was worth the $75 ticket to the Bathurst Harness Racing Awards night on Friday was well the price of admission just for the fights. First up there was Mrs Nigel Frisby v Mrs Josh Turnbull in the ladies loo, allegedly blueing over news that for reasons unknown Josh had been cut out […]
