The Queensberry Rules will always have a soft spot for boxing kangaroos — not only are they an emblem of my country, they’re undeniably cool. In this case Fred Morley (the one without the tail) looks like he’s about to get his tail-less arse kicked. Anyway, inter-species fights of questionable ethical status are not really […]

In a match-up of two fringe 168-pound contenders, J’Leon Love and Marco Antonio Periban didn’t distinguish themselves but managed to turn a tepid start into a trip down the rapids in the middle before Love pulled away for the unanimous decision victory.
