Hore set for hefty ban
26 Nov 2012
New Zealand hooker Andrew Hore has been cited for an off-the-ball incident which subsequently hospitalised Wales lock Bradley Davies.
Hore hit Davies off the ball during the initial stages of last Saturday’s Test in Cardiff. The incident was missed by matchday officials, but Hore has now been cited and looks likely to receive a lengthy suspension.
The time and date of the hearing, before the IRB’s appointed independent judicial officer, have yet to be fixed.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen expects the hooker to be sidelined for some time. Hansen did not say as much, but has already called for a replacement ahead of the coming Test against England.
Dane Coles is expected to start at Twickenham.

Another booby – all by default…

@Gumboots-10447: Thats the thing about a fight.
The question isnt whether you can throw a punch to knock someone out cold, coz everyone can do that.
Its whether you can take a knockout blow to the chin and remain standing.

@Gumboots-10401:
Change your nic to “Gumboobs”?
7 Dec 2012, 13:53 pm
@Gumboots-10447: Boom Boom shake shake the room.

@Robzim-10449: Before. He was still an unknown actor then.

Apparently the Klitchko’s both haved Phd’s.
I long back to the days of Joe Frazier when boxers were still real men

A quick glance at the “Recent Posts” shows that this thread is now alive and well.
Goodnight all.
And next time you meet a corn farmer,
shake his hand,
hug the man even.
But let him know, SA is proud of him.
You could even show him a picture of Niki, and explain the booby prize thing.
Go on make the farmers day.

Don’t give me ideas now…
Time for a nic change…

@Taahirah-10446:
Fair enough.
Just think that Ali would have dance around the ring, jabbing Tyson in submission. Joe Frazier was also a devastating puncher just like Tyson and Ali eventually got the better of him.
7 Dec 2012, 13:58 pm
@cane-10457: Great idea. Sadly we dont value our farmers as much as we should down here.
7 Dec 2012, 14:00 pm
@Robzim-10441:
agreed
very underated in terms of popularity imo.
@Taahirah-10442:
yip
its unfortunate the world will never know the answers to these question in perhaps the same way the ali – foreman contest was decided.
same goes for pacman – mayweather, i fear the best time for both of them has passed.
personally i think even fully fit tyson would have lost to lewis. i watched that fight… it was brutal… never seen a man beaten into submission as methodically as that in a long time.
7 Dec 2012, 14:00 pm
@Jeraldjay-10461: Yip but Ali normally tired after a couple of rounds of dancing, compromising his footwork when he stopped. Tyson time.
Overarm right.
Thanks for coming.
Well thats normally my tactic on Fight Night 3 on my Playstation.

@cane-10457:
cheers caner
7 Dec 2012, 14:02 pm
@Jeraldjay-10461:
One thing about Ali is that besides his brilliant footwork and speed he could also take a punch.
Like he did when he fought Foreman- just soaking up everything George threw at him.
Sadly it came at a price eventually.
7 Dec 2012, 14:03 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-10463: Yeas, I remember it vividly. Iron Mike hardly landed a punch, Lewis using his reach advantage to great effect.
Tyson visibly tired around Round 3 and from there on it was just a matter of time, barring a Hashim Rahman- like luck punch.
7 Dec 2012, 14:03 pm
@Taahirah-10464: Tyson lost to Buster Douglas who took a leaf out of Ali’s book and moved around the ring constantly.
First fight Tyson lost.

@Taahirah-10464: @willievz-10468: @Robzim-10466:
No matter which way you look at it, boxing is a barbaric sport practised and supported by people of below average intelligence
7 Dec 2012, 14:10 pm
@TooMuchRugby-10469: Women’s boxing, certainly.

7 Dec 2012, 14:13 pm
@willievz-10468: Yip. Id put money on Tyson beating him 9 times out of 10 though.
Douglas lost his next fight ( I think). Tyson won his next by KO, in the 1st round.
7 Dec 2012, 14:14 pm
@TooMuchRugby-10469: Soooooooooo.
What you wearing?
7 Dec 2012, 14:14 pm
@Taahirah-10467:
Here is how the fight ends- when Lewis threw the big right hand Mike had already taken a lot of punisment- just look at his face.

@Robzim-10474: No thank you. I dont wanna relive it.
7 Dec 2012, 14:17 pm
Juan Smith is another mean boxer.
He put Big Joe’ lights out at camp staaldraad.
7 Dec 2012, 14:19 pm
@willievz-10470:
Women fighting…that’s sexy. Especially when it’s over me.
7 Dec 2012, 14:20 pm
@Taahirah-10475:
OK… that is fair… it is no pretty sight.
Its good to know that Mike has made a bit of a comeback in life- he seems to have lost most of the anger that haunted him and looks quite happy being the most famous racing pigeon enthusiast in the world.

@Taahirah-10473:
Jockstrap and gloves
7 Dec 2012, 14:21 pm
@gunther-10476:
Kepler Wessels once put Rod McCurdy’s lights out as well
7 Dec 2012, 14:21 pm
@Robzim-10478:
After Bill Lawry you mean.
7 Dec 2012, 14:21 pm
@gunther-10476:
and of course Canuck Sinclair has a pretty mean right Jeb…
7 Dec 2012, 14:22 pm
@gunther-10476:
Really, tell us more….
7 Dec 2012, 14:23 pm
@TooMuchRugby-10479: This is getting awkward.
Im not playing anymore.
7 Dec 2012, 14:23 pm
@Robzim-10480:
when he lived in Aus… kepler once challenged the then Aussie heavyweight champ to a full on fight…
the champ did the chicken dance…
kepler was a pretty mean boxer in his time…
7 Dec 2012, 14:24 pm
@Robzim-10480:
I once put somebody’s lights out for them, but they did not realise, as they were already sleeping
7 Dec 2012, 14:25 pm
@ufo-10485: I know he is a 2nd or 3rd Dan karate expert. Stands to reason he’d be a pretty decent boxer.
7 Dec 2012, 14:26 pm
@ufo-10482:
One Jeb too many for glassjaw jean.
7 Dec 2012, 14:28 pm
@Taahirah-10487:
i didn’t know that… but stands to reason…!!
he also got involved in boxing training in the eastern cape after his cricket days… but not sure whether he still is doing that…

@TooMuchRugby-10486:
Re lights… Muh ammed Ali was apparently so quick that he could switch the lights off at the door of the room and be in bed before the room was dark.
7 Dec 2012, 14:31 pm
@Taahirah-10472: Same here, but Ali was in a completely different league than Buster.
7 Dec 2012, 14:33 pm
Its 24h33 on a Friday afternoon. Dont think we’ll push this Hore to 11,000 today.
7 Dec 2012, 14:34 pm
24h33 = 14h33.
Geez.
7 Dec 2012, 14:38 pm
@Taahirah-10494:
I thought you’d emigrated.
7 Dec 2012, 14:38 pm
my father (who did a bit of boxing always when he worked on the mines…) always raved about the Brown Bomber… Joe Louis…
reckoned no one punched as hard as that guy…
7 Dec 2012, 14:40 pm
@gunther-10495: lol. Not quite yet.
7 Dec 2012, 14:41 pm
@Robzim-10491:
hehehe…
did you ever see the movie about the rumble in the jungle with george and muhammadali…?
