Boxing returns to the Big T
2 years 9 months ago - 2 years 9 months ago
I am hearing reports of a boxing match at Turffontein on Sunday and from what I have been told, it happened in full view of the stipes. Some well known racing personalities involved. Police called and charges laid. I wonder if this will be treated like Larry's little episode and swept under the carpet?

I was at a horse-charity golf day a long while ago, when a prominent trainer was bombing balls over the covey in front.
Fisticuffs ensued - with a degree of skill displayed.
The sport has some odd characters.

Its a pity that they are not named and shamed OTA. More so because of what Bob says about horses pulled. This can never be good for this sport which is under a cloud as it is.

Like horses never get pulled , like horses are never given Steroids , like jockeys ride your horse to their best ability , like horses are not raced on pain killers , like horses do not land up in the most horrendous conditions after racing , like trainers that can be coerced to pull their horses ,like horses that are just given away to the bush racers by trainers , like certain trainers that hardly feed their horses etc etc Racing is definitely not like it is made out to be . If not careful it can become a nightmare .

Professional boxing tournament today at Turffontein today, development shows are the best. Larry involved in boxing now, he's mates with Manny Fernandes, Manny Fernandes been one of the leaders in boxing development over the years, could never get to the next level because of no TV, recently an ex world champion told them they need TV, Larry called him out on FB said they don't need TV, Larry had a guy who won a world title under Golden Gloves, they fell out over offers around 400k, they had his next fight in a boxing gym, no TV and less than 500 fans fighting a palooka from Tanzania. Long story short these guys getting blocked from TV need support
