[Bluelegs]

How many other players can we get to punch May in the face? Could use a few others refinding form

He could hit BBB but he'd get knocked around worse than a reject shop gazebo on a windy day.

 

[schmuttt]

Looking at the size of May I'm betting only Viney and Melk could get away with it without missing a couple with a smashed jaw.

Lever would belt him

Is he a man of the sweet science?

Yep. Boxed at the same gym as me as a kid for years, he can actually fight.

Feel like I've heard BT mention this before actually.

Weid having a shot would end up something like this you'd think

BT is from same town as Lever and his family.

Currently you mean right, cause BTs from Mandurah in WA I reckon.
Yeah I'm sure in a telecast BTs said Jakes good with the Dukes up. He's got that long as * reach on him, he'd jab ya face off.

Currently yep, at least BT was living in Romsey for a while. Remember Lever saying charlie Cameron was the only guy he was concerned about with the gloves on, apparently he can go too.

Modern day version of Mark Jackson belting everyone in training, decided to have a go at Maurice Rioli senior I think it was who proceeded to land about 15 on him before he blinked

 

[NorthcoteDee]

I'll sign up to a Change.Org to change our footy club to the Melksham Football Club (MFC)

Perhaps the entire playing list could change their surnames to Melksham? (Like the Ramones)

The Melksham Demons or the Melbourne Melkshams or the Melksham milkshakes or simply the melkshams?

Never felt more hopeless than when I got put in the ring with a sub 60KG Aussie ammo champ. It's like the ******* matrix trying to lay a glove on a bloke tiers ahead of you in ability regardless of how much bigger you are.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Let's go get this campaigner a premiership! Trying his guts out.

Won't happen with may in the team

Honestly, I can't imagine anything I'd rather do less than get in the ring with a boxing champ.

Get in the ring with a kickboxing or Muay Thai champ.

 

[Ando727]

Get in the ring with a kickboxing or Muay Thai champ.

Ok, any type of boxing. Just leave me out of the whole combat caper. Let's give the Greco-Roman wrestling a miss too, while we're at it...

What a BJJ roll with a dickhead who doesn't feel taps? No?

Wasn't Lever an under-age boxing champion to the point that he could have gone pro had he gone down this track?

 

[Theseventhhamster]

This one didn't end in any of the damage of a typical sparring session. He was too good and just working on dodging and hitting me with one specific body shot. I guess I was practice for fights against tall guys/lefties. Boxing gyms are typically great, when you're outclassed the other guy doesn't beat you up. It was against the relatively inexperienced light heavyweights I was in strife as I was fair game to them.

I took up boxing in my 30's and not for long but it was awesome fun as someone who had been in one fight ever to that point. Great confidence booster and it's crazy efficient for fitness. Would love to go back to it but the wife would probably kill me, also long term concussion considerations I guess.

Yeah they can go get ****ed with those elbows and kicks.

Yeah anyone who can be toe to toe and still kick ya chops off is a whole different kinda animal.
