I worked with his nephew? he had one of the titles in his house. Thought that was pretty cool

I'm now in Sydney. This place has very little boxing but at least I have ifltv and worldboxingvideoarchive to keep me sane.

I Started at 26. Walked in the gym with no real idea. Other than the fact I wanted to get fit and learn to box at the same time. I ended up the fittest I've ever been. I never had any am or pro fights and probably only sparred may 25-30 rounds but trained with a local pro everyday and went to all hi...

Met Ricky Burns after his comeback after losing to AAA and remember him being a friendly guy. Not sure even he believed me when I told him he would be a world champ. Watching IFLTV you would have to say Barker and Joshua are both great blokes for an interview. All up though most of the boxers I've m...

I loved Christmas until I moved to Australia. Now its to bloody hot there are hardly any Christmas decorations on the main streets and unless you went in to a shop you would probably not even know it was around the corner. I recently asked an Australian why they don't have lights etc up on the main ...

For sure. Is it a case of Politic's stopping him as fighter and now stopping him as a potential hall of famer?

i think if there was a poll and people answered honestly it would be 100% for take the fight and earn a million. I also don't think he went into the fight want to lose, most fighters would fight with a slight niggle. I wish him well with his future. He seems like a nice bloke who has done what many ...

How did he get to box on Sturm undercard?
I wonder if Sturm defends against him now

It wasnt on the Sturm undercard it was just in Germany. Just like the UK they put on more than one show a weekend ;)

http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=668419&cat=boxer Admittedly its only his name that has caught my attention but no doubt ill look for results of his fights now :lol: Sometimes having a good name gets you further , so maybe consider that when naming your kids, a name like Lee Jones does...

Why do people do this?? Whats the benefit or is it just to increase the life of the bag?

Its not modelling like he's walking up and down the catwalk with waxed eyebrows and the such looking like a prize prick though. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BTke-vOCEAA8V4T.jpg That's a pretty good ad hits a target audience. His done well. Can't be easy to give up something you have done since you w...

To be fair that undercard would have been a nightmare to organise the amount of changes and late dropouts they had to deal with.

My money is on him coming back with the Belts. (If I was a Gambler)

He can be seen staring in the Blacklist as a Mercenary. Without blinking? Yeah has a few lines as well. Was all snuggled up on the Sofa with the wife and then you catch a glimpse of his face and thought to myself "was that Tony Jeffries?" next thing his back on the box and as soon has he ...

I had it done after playing rugby. Once it was healed I took up boxing (aged 26) was never really a problem it took a few whacks and held up ok. I only sparred though never competed.

As ever George only speaks the truth

The moments that GG twisted and turned Carl were an indication of what Calzaghe would have done to him. I think it would have been a Lacy-esc master class that Carl never came back from.

But we will never know so we will continue to discuss it :)

I disagree. 2 judges scored the fight correctly aka just the way Eddie had asked them to.

I think if he was to fight Hopkins he'd get hammered by one person. Hopkins!

I watched the post fight presser and some of the media were really disrespectful to Fitzpatrick and full of self-importance , couldnt believe the attitude they were giving him. To be fair, Fitzpatrick did well to keep his cool, especially after such an emotional night. I actually thought the opposi...

I think the main thing people dont understand about boxing is the level of fitness involved, in sunday league football you can be out of shape and dieing with a hangover and still play and be alright, in boxing even when starting off you fitness levels have to be very high or else your in trouble. ...

I don't agree with any fighter having to pay his/her way on to a show. But Promoters are always going to look after 1. Themselves 2. Their golden balloon. These looked after up and comers will need (good) live opponents to develop they have to come from somewhere. Australia will clearly have a small...

I train regularly with a 24 fight pro who was asked for $10k to fight on the undercard of the ill fated Mosley-Mundine fight. Oh wow that is ordinary. In the UK young pro's (without a massive am background) are often booked on show's on the basis that they can sell X amount of tickets. I've never k...
