Awesome show, really enjoyed it.

Bomber is a legend and a great teller of old war stories.

Imagine telling the Yanks you can walk from Australia to New Zealand on low tide, fucken hilarious!

What about stopping Gatti twice in training camp.

And sending back the Don King contact with a smiley face for the signature.

Bomber told me another story once that happened between the two Nate Campbell fights. They both turned up at a fight card in Florida and when he left for the after party, Bomber got a lift with one of Nate's ex-girlfriends and made sure that Campbell saw it. All night at the party Campbell was running around asking people "is Peden farking my ex missus, is Peden farking my ex missus?!!"

Deadset one of the funniest guys I've ever met, not just in boxing but in life.

Nate Campbell will have Peden nightmares for the rest of his life.

His off air and unprintable stories about Golota gave me new insights into the Foul Pole.
