If ever you meet Tim Tszyu  Rab, I'd advise keeping that opinion to yourself.

Or he'll take my soul?

    Haha love it. That last fight was just brutal in the way he destroyed his opponent.

    It's not a sport I'd advise any person to take up.

    Pro boxing is legal brutality. ( I do like watching it though )

    I started boxing when I was 14, still train 3 times a week at the age of 73.

    Well done to you drysdale !

    Had any pro fights ?

    Amateur only, but I enlisted at the age of 17, resumed late 20's and became sparring partner to a few pros for a number of years.

    Don't know about favourite but Floyd Mayweather jr is the best I have seen, also liked watching Oscar De La Hoya.

    My favourites of course are all the Aussie boxers especially the world champions, know a few of them very well.

    Am I missing something here ?

    She clearly lost ( though remarkably one judge scored a draw ) and she was totally outclassed.

    I realised my mistake! The original post saying she won was from her last fight a few months ago. Must read the dates on the comments!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
