    <p>Interesting (to a boxing newbie) that some folks think Joe needs a different coach. The things most of us have listed as work on's were things you could hear Barry telling him during the fight. Keep your hands up, work the body, and something about body position when throwing shots?? </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Guess the test is whether Barry can get Joe doing those things in the ring rather than just talking about them? While SH will pose a different challenge it'll be something to watch for - do we see Joe boxing differently etc...</p>

    <p>I watched Goldie play my school in an interschool basketball game in 1992. Our school was probably one of the top 4-5 in the country, and we did beat Cargill comfortably, but he was far and away the clear star for their side.</p>

    <p>Do Goldie and his wife have any kids? Can't remember her name, and can't be fucked looking it up, but she was a very gifted sportswoman. Probably ended her netball career too early. Looking forward to see if the genes have been passed on if they have.</p>

    I don't know, at least when it comes to cricket we've had plenty of father/son combos - with the sons outshining their father. Hadlee, Cairns, Harris, Braces and Latham on their way.<br><br>
    Rugby might be the case Paul Williams, Anton Oliver good careers but not their dads for sure.

    <p>Back on topic, Haumono's last fight was shown on Sky Sports.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>He took several rounds to finish off a fat unfit Argentinian who didn't even attempt to throw a punch.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I won't be giving duco $50 to watch the farce this fight will be.</p>

    <p>will be interesting how they promote the next one and for how much, especially with the streaming issues they have had too.</p>

    <p>Anton would go down as a better AB than Frank surely ? I mean he was one of the hard men of his generation but, throwing aside, Anton was pretty decent.</p>

    <p>Don Bradmans son changed his name by deed poll to escape the pressure. I guess averaging over 100 is quite a bit to ask for.</p>

    <p>I'm pretty certain Adine Harper/Wilson took a year off netball to have a kid, came back and then retired because she was pregnant again</p>

    <p>My boys ( 6 and almost 8 ) have been mistaken for twins on three separate occasions by the same person, I might start going to a different supermarket where the staff are a bit more onto it......</p>

    <p>Wouldn't be surprised. Imagine the pressure to play any sport and be brilliant at it.</p>

    <p>Listening to Darcy on radio sport, interviewing Jeff Wilson :)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>His first question was, so how far did you make it in basketball?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Which one of you stalkers is Darcy?</p>

    <p>I smell a rat , and I dont think Duco can see it , </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>the biggest paydays for Joshua are , Fury  ,  Haye , Klitchko , </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Joseph is the mandatory and has no profile in England , no profile equals little money , </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Haye beats Joseph and takes the mandatory  , that gets rid of that problem , Haye and Joshua have the same promoter , </p>
