Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I wanna give Tommy the Boot a little tip, and I strongly suggest for his own benefit that he backs it. . My old mate The Balmain Boxer (aka the Boxer, or box) who I have been kicking around with for many a year now, well before I started writing about the trots, is called […]
Anyone who knows anything about boxing has heard of the Thrilla in Manila, and most non-boxing people have too. But how many have watched the 14th round? I’ve seen some great fights in my time, and some brilliant rounds. But never have I seen such courage as this. Frazier and Ali were gone to the […]
Once upon a time the boxer Michael Katsidis was a world champion. Then his beloved brother and gun jockey Stathi died of a drug overdose, and Mick lost the plot. He got on the gear too, and it’s all been downhill from there. I won’t go into Mick’s history, other than to say it is […]
We told you in our live coverage of the fight that Deontay Wilder looked to have broken his right hand in about the 7th round of the epic battle against Tyson Fury on the weekend, and was stuck fighting a world champion with one hand for the last 12 minutes of the fight. Most media […]
Now No. 23 is a very high-class trap which is patronized only by the better element of rumpots in New York, and what I am doing in these unusual surroundings with Spider McCoy, the fight manager, is something that requires a job of telling. This No. 23 is a spot where wealthy characters assemble on […]
Deontay Wilder couldn’t get up from this punch. Only one man in the world could. The bloke who threw it. Holy hell. It hurts just watching it.
Tyson Fury wins by brutal 11th round knockout. Wilder looked to have broken his hand in the 7th, and was fighting with one paw for the last 12 minutes. He was brave and gutsy and kept coming back when he looked gone. But Fury is the toughest man on the planet. You couldn’t knock him […]
If you are not watching the fight wait until you see the fighters coming out to enter the ring on the news tonight. They are dressed like they are going to a fairy dress ball. This isn’t a fight. It’s a freak show!
The first time Tyson Fury fought Deontay Wilder he somehow pulled a miracle out of the hat by getting up within 10 seconds after this. Fury was as lead and fit as he can ever get in that fight. He is coming into this one older, overweight and nowhere near as fit. Wilder’s punch is […]
I have been around and followed boxing my whole life and a lot of my friends are ex-boxers or fans, and I can say without question that I have not heard more talk and seen as much interest in a world heavyweight title fight in the 20 years since Lennox Lewis fought Tyson than I […]
