    Women's Boxing in the Olympics

    I agree it’s not clear cut This is amateur boxing though, shorter length fights, where a fast/slick fighter might be able to avoid her punches and pick up sufficient points to win. The problem is if she lands she has this biological advantage (I’m not sure if she might be able withstand punches...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That’s a bit unfair. She was one crazy lady but rates had already started to increase and were already at 2-2.25% when she became PM. They were subsequently raised due to continued inflation which was a global issue. Truss did probably cost the country billions due to a spike in government bond...

    Women's Boxing in the Olympics

    I’ve tried to read up into this as I follow boxing (and enjoy the Olympics) Here’s two posts that appear to cover the issue from slightly opposing angles. It’s complex as I mentioned on the other thread but for me, however unfortunate for the athlete in question, she probably shouldn’t be...

    The Olympics

    Pretty sure an Irish female boxer had already said she refuses to fight anyone who’s not passed the required tests historically. Might mean she misses out on a medal but brave to make a stand

    The Olympics

    Knew this was coming. Doesn’t sit well with me. Out of all sports boxing has got to be extra cautious because of the dangers involved (it’s also why any PED/drug user should be banned for minimum of 5+ years if not lifetime bans)

    Huw edwards

    Mentioned a 7-9 year old on the radio ‘Under the law, images can mean both video clips and still pictures. The Crown Prosecution Service said most of the category A images were estimated to show children aged between 13 and 15, but two clips showed a child aged about seven to nine. Category A...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think it’s a bit more complex than that. I’m not sure about luxumborg specifically but with other nations employees and/or employers are required to pay more into the state pension pot over the employees working life. This would impact their take home pay during their career We now have...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    It’s that and the cost which people seem to hold against him (not really his fault). I still think he could/should come good. Takes no shit, good on the ball and if he cuts out some of the silly stuff a good leader
