What was the “really?” In reply to, mate?

I love the concept of watchalongs. I’d binge that. It’s like the commentary option on old DVDs, which has been bizarrely lost in the streaming era.
Training in his gym, sorry even after 14 years I still don't know how to bold quotes
I spent a year travelling around Australia as a much younger man and was just showing up to different gyms all the time. I was a terrible novice amateur but they liked my enthusiasm and I was always dead polite so got to see a lot of the country.

I messaged Luke Jackson, Tasmania native who ‘d seen live against Carl Frampton, basically just saying I’m going to be staying there for a few months and asking where the best gyms are. His childhood coach called me an hour later and totally took me in, got me beat up a few times and got me a job. Was a belter little few months. I remember living there during the mad few weeks we had Spence-Porter, Inoue-Donaire and Taylor-Prograis.

Thanks for asking man, I’m buzzing just reminiscing
That's brilliant mate, Aussies and their neighbors are dudes

I messaged Luke Jackson on his public Instagram, having never met him, a week later and I felt part of the community. Especially out in the regional areas, Aussies really do look out for each other.

Bellew v mcKenzie 1 , I seem to remember the one punch landed that looked like Bellew was out and then the 2nd punch landed and seemed to wake him up.

All crazy heavy knockdowns too. Each one looked like a highligh reel KO.

Nice to see you back btw, Expug.
