If you’re going to get your ass kicked, you might as well get paid for it. Statistically, most of us will have our dicks knocked in the dirt at least once in our lives and we won’t make a cent from it. Hell, some people pay good money to have the shit kicked out of […]

Anthony Mundine proved he has at least something left in the tank in Melbourne tonight, much to the disappointment of many boxing fans. The junior middleweight fringe contender managed to steal enough rounds in an entertaining, see-saw fight with Belarus’s Sergey Rabchenko to earn a split decision victory.
