A storm in a teacup. Good grief.

I played for a presidents team about 5 years ago when I was in my early-mid 40s. I worked hard on my fitness for many weeks prior, and did a lot of HIIT sessions and explosive / power activities in the gym. It was the first game of the season, and my first game in a few years. My intention was to pl...

I'm hoping for Timberwolves v Pacers match up in the NBA finals. I've got a soft spot for small market teams winning the NBA championship as they largely build their teams from the draft. We have 4 different style teams in the Conference Finals. This should be interesting (for basketball fans anyway).

It's not actually that hard to get to a Fury win, just look at the compubox stats from above. Rounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 11 have Fury either outlanding Usyk, or it's only a punch or two in favour to Usyk. If you are someone who likes the types of punches Fury is outputting then those narrow rounds...

I couldn’t understand why Fury kept backing up. He looked better in last couple of rounds when he stepped forward. It was obviously Fury's game plan to box on the back foot. I don't know why, maybe it was to help prevent getting counter punched. I suspect that we might see a change in that tactic d...

I get that, but what’s a phone call doing to do in a situation like that, you have to be able to trust the people who are charged with looking after your kids, I get that it might bring you piece of mind, but what happens if the cell service goes down? I'm 'old school' on this issue. If students su...

Where have I seen this movie before?

Really didn't think Usyk would have the power to knock out Fury since Wilder couldn't keep him down but that 9th round was epic. I believe the damage was done in round 8 with that punch to the nose that really seemed to bother Fury. He came out a little gunshy in round 9 and Usyk almost ended it. W...

The big take away here is Fury and Joshua are both evenly matched on paper. I bet fury does the rematch and retires And if Fury wins the rematch, there's also the potential for a trilogy to happen. As a long-time boxing fan, I would feel short-changed if Fury and Joshua did not fight each other. Th...

I've come across a few negative posters on PR, but boy, you're right up there with the best of them. Go for a walk outside and get some fresh air.

Da iawn diolch wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2024 12:39 am I can't get over the idea that any judge could have watched that and given it to Fury.

He won a lot of rounds on my score card, and a lot of rounds on the score cards of the 3 judges. It's not outside of the realm of possibility that some would give that to Fury.

Tehui

What a great fight. The two most skillful boxers in the HW division with big hearts (IMO). I would love to see a rematch.

The Crusaders' recession year continues. I look forward to bumping into a couple of work colleagues to hear their views about the Crusaders. I'm guessing they won't be strutting around like peacocks anymore.

Tehui

I'm picking Tyson Fury to win and become undisputed champ. I think his terrible performance against Francis Ngannou would have done wonders for his motivation coming into this fight. It's going to be interesting to see how he handles Usyk's speed, footwork and south paw stance. I like both fighters.

Tehui

Ehoa, I didn't realise you were so young. ;) And the first AB #8 who I remember seeing play is Murray Mexted. :D Me too, not sure I'd have Read over him either but I was only thinking of Zinny and Buck. * Which, before the Cantabs and Towny have a hissy fit doesn't mean I think Read is shit ... I'v...

Is it possible that some people here don’t know their arse from their elbow? Yep. Just for the record, it wasn't me criticising Read at the time. He'll go down as the best AB #8 that I've seen in my lifetime. it happens in most sports though. Boxing is terrible for it. A great fighter gets humbled ...

11 seasons apparently. If you triple the amount of tests, that's probably how many tests players from that era would have played if they had played in the professional era of today.

I agree. Wasn't the same player after the neck break. Up until then he was the best NZ seven post McCaw. Unfortunately, when top-level players continue to play the game following a major injury, fans with short memories only remember them towards the end. A similar thing happened with Kieran Read i...

I didn't realise that he was still alive until most recently! He was before my time, but whenever I see highlights of games in the 70s, Super Sid sticks out in the game like a pair of dog nuts. My father used to rate Loveridge as the best AB halfback he saw, with Super Sid second. Regardless, Going ...

And how often do we see a winger get bundled into touch, only for them to fluff around with the ball while the opposition try to retrieve it for a quick throw in? The game is corrupt. I thought you can't have a quick throw if the opposition have handled the ball in touch. That must be a new rule ch...

There's a good article about the Waitangi Tribunal on RNZ today, which includes a brief summary of its role, its history, and its future in light of the current government's intent to limit or curtail its powers.

Sounds like you are trying to time the markets. A good time to invest was October last year though. :nod: LOL.
