A 5’9”, 240-pound street thug, Tony Galento’s favourite punch was an eye gouge. He trained on beer and hotdogs, boxed a kangaroo, and dropped Joe Louis. Born on this day in 1910, hear about his wild life at The Fighting Life: https://t.co/oXXYfZNi6g

@007Chrisxx @MarioNawfal She’d still win. They’ve stopped using headgear in amateur boxing because it provides no real protection outside of preventing cuts.

@raaspiik It's an old joke recycled. Nobody is cheering over that kid's disappointment. I think most Australians will be cheering for your team when they play the US.

[Chris Ryan @rushcuttersbox]

Even more concerning, it was ruled a goal.

No more words are necessary.

@Pickmodels @CultureCrave Was this written by AI, or are people starting to write like AI?...

@ComputerSageJAB @Az_Eaz @MR0808 @woolworths Not defending Woolworths, but that’s their lean beef mince. Regular is 18% fat.

@me_dc Jesus, there are some dickheads - and they only seem to be getting louder. One of the things I love about Rugby League is looking around the crowd and seeing Aussies from every background. The game really brings people together.

You'll struggle to find a more vivid description of copping a left hook than Kid McCoy gave, when recounting one of his fights with Joe Choynski.

@AlbertoSummers @EduBarreche Nah, this is harder.

[Chris Ryan @rushcuttersbox]

@HonestFrank The teammate pointing desperately towards the goals definitely agrees with you, even if the experts in the replies don’t.

@PrimeWalsh Buzkashi is huge in Afghanistan. Didn't take off in America, despite Rambo's success in the sport.

@DrewPavlou @nickschadegg Because he's just been hit by a spray of fake blood/paint that comes from the right of frame at about around the 45 second mark. Watch it in slow motion.

@PinnacleJoe @Microinteracti1 I reckon Europe is made up of a whole range of ethnicities, and through most of history many of them have been at war with each other.

[Chris Ryan @rushcuttersbox]

@VeteranNoob1 @PinnacleJoe @Microinteracti1 True, I think I talked about appearance because he’d mentioned “white”, but obviously it can be various factors, such as culture, language or religion that distinguishes ethnic groups

[Chris Ryan @rushcuttersbox]

@PinnacleJoe @Microinteracti1 European is not an ethnicity. Greeks and Portuguese don’t look like anything like Swedes and Germans, for example.

@Carefree757 @fighting_pod Hoping to get a bunch out. Should have the next one live within a month or so.

On the December 1963 Esquire cover, a dead-eyed Sonny Liston stared into the soul of middle America, and found them terrified. Readers cancelled subscriptions. Advertisers pulled their money. Muhammad Ali summed up the feeling like only he could...

@elonmusk @grok I asked Grok about John L Sullivan’s tour of Australia, which happened in 1891.

Grok invented an 1887 tour, gave irrelevant links as evidence, and insisted his fantasy tour was “well documented” even after I pointed out it didn’t happen.
