JOM, YES his mum is white.
Poirot so very true , I want better for our first nation, and it is a shame so many of them do not share that wish.
But know, the bloke who beat Mundine is a great Ambassador for his race, and his people, his self and delivered much needed retribution for his wife
O sung wo, yes we lived in good times, remember Bobby Dunlop?
It was my honor to see him as a mate.
He was the one I followed to that Gym, see? got the spelling right!
A pug from Summer hill, never got in to the ring, about my age, was never beaten, but took the wrong path and you mob cleaned up his act.
A woman shop owner danced at the Tivoli, nice woman gave the street people free tea and scones.
I need to say this, I have only contempt for Bolt, Andrew that is.
But Mundane,said so very much worse, about his opponent, his wife, and Tasmanian Aboriginals.
WE ARE BLINDED BY PC, if Bolt can be fined for less, if the bloke who said it had been white, well we know do we not.
A thin line is drawn between true racism based on color not truth.
In my day insulting a mans wife or mother bought on a fight.

Hi BELLY...

Mate you've got to stop this !!

Taking me down memory lane is not good for us old blokes you know BELLY, living our remaining lives in a state of reminiscence - Yes, Bob Dunlop he could hold his hands up eh ? Fought a bloke called Paddy DeLargey (dec) an irishman, Bob TKO'd him ( I think ??) Paddy was a real 'fighter', brought up in the backstreets of Galway Bay Ireland, family as poor as a church mouse, he fought the then, World Light Heavyweight Champion, Dick Tiger of Nigeria (in London) Tiger knocked him out in the 15th I believe. They were the days of 15 rounds in a world title fight. Though Paddy could fight like a demon, particularly 'out of the ring' with a bit of 'p..s' in him. never gave me an ounce of trouble......just as well for me !
Thanks a lot BELLY ol' man.

Good on you o sung wo, mate our memory's are ours forever and I treasure them, even the bad ones.
But Always know it is the little joys life brings that feed us.
Still stuck on sports watched the cricket last night, nearly ate a cushion, was a near thing.
Boxing back then seems to have had a little more class to it.
regards.

Hi there BELLY ol' mate...

Missed the cricket unfortunately. You're so very very right BELLY,
boxing back in the sixties, seventies, even the eighties did have some class, both in terms of behaviour and the high standards of fighters both in the ring and out. There were a few exceptions of course, just a few.

Memories, memories ? There's YOU, HASBEEN, LEXI, and a few others, to a certain extent, have revived some very happy events in my life, simply by the general thrust of their discussions. Maybe a sentence, even just a word, a place name, an event...anything really, will do it I reckon.

Take care ol' friend, you're both valued and needed !

Cheers...Sung Wu.

Lexi,

How on earth can you compare Muhammad Ali with Mundine. Ali had wit -spoke like a butterly, stung like a bee.

A point needs making.
Lexi may not be alone in looking for the best in motor mouth.
But in saying he was trying to improve the gate, not just being himself.
I offer this question, post fight, after he clearly was beaten, why did he, followed by Sonny Bill w A&er say he had been robbed?
We love our sportsmen but revel in the downfall of motor mouth, that says it all.
