0 comments by on 11/12/2014

Anthony Mundine proved he has at least something left in the tank in Melbourne tonight, much to the disappointment of many boxing fans.

Bernard Hopkins’ Slow Burn

0 comments by

Everything has its limits. A car stops running, a cigarette burns down, a love affair only goes so long. How things run out of time is maybe more important than that they inevitably will. Watching Bernard Hopkins fight in Atlantic City this past Saturday night one was seeing the slow demise of a once and in many ways still […]
