25.01.2022 Tough fight, 2 Best lightweights in the world. Awesome!!!!

25.01.2022 The team is strong, the dream is real...

25.01.2022 Stanley Ketchel was wonderful: a malevolent free-swinging brooding brawler of the like rarely seen before or since. A man condemned to live and die violently. K...etchel was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan #OnThisDay in 1886, and he packed more into his 24 years than most could in a dozen lifetimes. Ketchel was a by-product of Americas dustbowl poverty. By the age of 12 he was a hobo, homeless and drifting from town to town. His flair for violence was spotted in Butte, Montana where, as a 16-year-old saloon bouncer, he turned to professional boxing to monetise his ability to knock full-grown men unconscious. He earned recognition as the world middleweight champion when, as a ferocious 21-year-old, he demolished Mike Twin Sullivan inside a round. A year later he destroyed light-heavyweight champion Philadelphia Jack OBrien and shared four savage fights with bitter rival Billy Papke. Best remembered for his bold 1909 challenge of world heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, when after decking the bigger man, Ketchel was knocked out cold by Johnson. He was murdered in 1910. Shot through the lung while eating breakfast by a jealous farm worker. He was 24 years old. They dont make em like Stanley anymore. See more

19.01.2022 Brent and the crew are doing great thing at Progressive fighting Arts Burnie . Check them out!

18.01.2022 Check this 3 episode podcast out with Danny Green , great interview and incite into his life and career in boxing. Met Danny through a mutual friend in Brent Gillard (Progressive fighting arts Burnie) quite a few years back. Remember Danny taking a real interest by jumping in the ring and working the pads with a young lad by the name of Toby Herring. Danny was inspired by Toby's story of testicular cancer as a kid and his passion for boxing. Was great to see a World Champion like Danny working with our amateurs and having a ball.
