The former world heavyweight champion returns to this country when he faces a selected opponent on the Audley undercard on June 19 at the Ally Pally. Fantastic news. How often do two heavyweight champions grace a British show?
Again, fantastic news.

Well..it's the least A-Force can do.
After all "Sonny" was good enough to give Audley a shot at the title.
Class from the champion

I think it has more to do with the fact Olaf Schroder, Hersisia's manager, is Audley's European matchmaker.

Boxing is a remarkably small world sometimes. I once saw Mickey Duff, allegedly and Barry Hearn all sitting side by side and getting on. It was at ringside at the Steve Robinson-Paul Hodkinson fight.

somone please tell me what "my bad" means please. i must be getting old.
does it mean oooh I am naughty, or oooh my bad toe, or what

speak freakin english
sorry Dog gotta be said and its not a pop at you more at my own ignorance

My bad means oh I was wrong or that was my fault.

This fight for Hersisia will be a confidence booster. Draskovic's name has come up. I would expect a few confidence building fights before putting him in with a higher calibre.

sorry fella, too much lager this lunchtime
It's an Americanism I suspect.

what does it mean?

In the words of Jim Diamond
"I shouldda known better"

or

"I should be quiet, I'm a right pudendum"

one of our American cousins should be able to give us a literal translation.
Coz to be honest..I haven't got a clue

Yes, I'm not sure when it started, but it is an Americanism, and it seems to be spreading like wildfire.

ok thanks guys. sucks arse if you ask me.

Incidentally, on this theme, I noticed James McDonnell using the word "mullered" yesterday. I believe this comes from the German boxer Peter Muller who was banned sine die for chinning his opponent followed by the referee.

This topic has been discussed else on the board, some said it was to do with the German football Gerd Muller - I aint got a clue.

Who was it who Tyson fought when he went to hit the guy with the ref in the way and whacked the ref as well.

Lou Savarese. Ref was John Coyle.

savarase wasnt it?

Maybe they're building him up for a titanic 2nd clash with Audley?!

It'd be like Ali/Frazier all over again!

I heard "my bad" meaning "my mistake" in the very late 90s on Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Incidentally, in case you think I'm a little strange, my initial post was sarcastic.

Are you telling us you're not even a little bit strange then?

As for "my bad", it's just another transient American sit-com phrase. It'll be gone soon enough, so don't worry about it. At least i hope it'll be gone, i couldn't stand it if "my bad", "talk to the hand", "don't go there" and "whatever" became a lasting part of our language. Rant over. Smell ya later.

Bennie

I read your "sarcastic" post when I was about to be mildly rude.

No-one in the business has any sort of objective viewpoint when it comes to Audley. There is probably a 20-40% chance that he will succeed and therefore everyone who is involved in the sport knows they have to be aware of his potential, even if he doesn't deliver.
