Thank goodness Dean decided to return to the box today, as opposed to just wandering around the boundary line during the game. I, for one, don't really understand the fascination with coaching at ground level. I mean, you can't see anything unless it's right in front of you, you can't get a...

I think we are in need of a general boxing discussion thread, mainly due to the facts that a) there are many great fights and things going on within the world of boxing that aren't deserving of their own threads and b) if threads were to be made on some of those topics, they would likely...

Rooney's effort last week: CfsnkMj5VwE Briand's effort this week: HdQ0M27g5VE Tough call, but I'm going for Briand :thumbsu:

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=5944532 Well, it's not what we all wanted, but that's not really Manny's fault given that Floyd won't even come to the table at the moment. On this fight itself, there really isn't anyone else for Pacquiao to fight. I mean, he has...

Okay, so whilst this year has been somewhat disappointing for the sport, mainly due to Floyd's concern for his zero, it looks like the months of November and December will more than make up for it. If you take a look at the RingTV schedule, you'll see the following: Nov 6: Juan Manuel...

From my perspective, at least. First up, this video comes from a bout between Enzo Maccarinelli and Alexander Frenkel: To skip to round 7: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEKrDN33nl8&#t=8m15s vEKrDN33nl8 Probably the biggest knockout I've ever seen, that left hook was incredible. In saying...

Did anyone else catch this? Floyd is fast becoming my most hated athlete. I just find it staggering that he can show so little respect for a fellow competitor, and whilst I understand that trash talking is a big part of the boxing industry, making racial slurs and baseless accusations...

All three have been named in the All-Australian squad for this year, and as such, I think congratulations is in order :thumbsu:

http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=27501 Let's hope Mundine signs the contract so that this fight not only becomes a reality, but also comes to Australia. For those of you who don't know Golovkin, he's a very promising boxer with an exceptional amateur career behind him. He won against...

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/young-jack-viney-catches-eye-of-demons/story-e6frf9jf-1225862263863 Our midfield will be unbelievable in the coming years :thumbsu:

Things are starting to look quite a lot better now. It's particularly pleasing to see that Morton is only a couple of weeks away from playing football again :thumbsu:

Today, in his bout against RJJ, Bernard may have won the fight, but in my eyes, he was definitely the loser. Bernard fought dirty, he threw low blows, he threw rabbit punches, he drew blood through an intentional headbutt and, most disturbingly, he continued to throw a number of heavy punches...

Although it was a disappointing end to the day, my viewpoint surrounding the club and its future has improved dramatically following today's performance. For example, we no longer have to attend the football: - Hoping for a win whilst knowing that we'll lose - Knowing that we aren't even...

From MelbourneFC.com.au From the last update (March 11) to this one, Bruce, Davey, Garland, Bate, Watts and Blease have been removed from the injury list, all of which is good news. Personally, I'm very pleased to see that Blease is now injury free, and it will be great to see him work...

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/lyon-tells-why-ill-never-coach-20100303-pizr.html Will this put an end to the speculation permanently?

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/essendon-impress-in-practice-match-20100227-p9zr.html Bate must have had an absolute cracker by the sounds of things :D Interesting to see Jurrah found his way into the best, especially when you consider that later in the article the author argues...

Okay, the underlying premise behind this thread is reasonably simple. In fact, it may even be simple enough for those of you who do not support Melbourne to understand. Here are the fundamental steps associated with participation in this thread: 1. Find an image related to football 2. Add...

http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=25356 Basically, Floyd states that if his fight with Mosley does better on PPV than Manny's fight with Clottey, then Manny can forget about getting a 50-50 share of the proceeds. He also goes on to say that the 14 day cut-off won't be an option, and...

Why, you ask? For one simple reason, and one which even the West Coast supporters should be able to understand. That reason is picking Chris Masten ahead of Cale Morton. How any club could do something like this is totally inconceivable, and yet, the West Coast recruiters managed to do...

My apologies if a thread such as this already exists, but this type of thing might provide something to keep us occupied during the remainder of the off-season. Also, try to comment on the thoughts of others, as these threads often turn into a whole heap of lists which have little meaning...

Can any of you tell me which song is playing in the background at 3 minutes and 26 seconds (through to around 3:34), following the tale of the tape and Idaho rules graphics, in this video below? rkYnTw4O-tA I just can't seem to recall its name. Thanks ;)

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/89038/default.aspx He will ruck due to injuries to our other ruckmen. Other interesting points from the article: - Spencer has lost 11 kilograms due to an illness - Bate has had foot soreness, so he's in the rehab group for now as...

There's a whisper doing the rounds which suggests that Davey injured his hamstring earlier in the week at training. Apparently he didn't feature throughout the course of today's session. Further, some are indicating that Bruce came off during late in today's session after sustaining what...

I referring to boxing here. Now, it is really hard to judge this fairly, given that I haven't seen all of the fights took place in 2009, however, I'll just base it from the fights I have seen. Candidate #1 - Pacquiao v. Cotto Yeah, it started to become a little one sided in the later...

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4824611 Danny Green is mentioned in the article in the following section: It sounds like Hopkins may not have actually ever been interested in a fight with Green, but perhaps they had issues about the split between the fighters, it's...

From AFL.com.au http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/88330/default.aspx It sounds as if everything is going to plan, aside from the Wona injury of course. The most positive things to come out of that brief piece of writing are the weight gains from Morton and Watts...

Which tradition you ask? The tradition of adding potatoes to their list. The latest inductee: Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls. You have to admire the Eagles, making sure they select a group of players who will gel beautifully together due to having one thing in common: A starchy consistency.

It's now official, Joel MacDonald is a demon via the PSD. In the RD, Melbourne went with Newton at pick 6 and Meesen at pick 22. It's still going, but I'm pretty sure that's it for us. Although it has been nothing more than an exercise in confirming the already confirmed, any thoughts?

Good morning all. In a different context late yesterday, I was reminded what it is to have a good problem. To use an example for illustrative purposes, a good friend of mine had a painting, worth around $250,000, and was unsure as to which auction house would generate the highest sale figure...

Article from the HS website: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/jack-trengoves-the-one/story-e6frf9jf-1225785567362 Interesting article, although it doesn't really matter who goes where, so long as they both end up playing for Melbourne. Having said that, Trengove excellent testing...
