If you have ESPN Classic and you like boxing, that's probably the channel you should have your tv on today. They are showing a bunch of Ali's 70's fights. Right now they have Ali/Wepner on, and it's an entertaining fight. Ali picks Wepner apart with jabs and a speck of blood flies off of Wepner's face and lands on the camera lens. Wepner also gets a flash knock down that sends the crowd into a frenzy, because he has no business being in the same ring as Ali.

Anyone watching Canelo v GGG tomorrow night? Thoughts? Predictions?

For about a year and a half, I'd had the urge to take up boxing.

You should try it Cat. Great craic. The training is excellent too.

I can't find any info on the net whether it's a terrible idea for people who have lower back issues every now and then, or whether it will strengthen core muscles and whatnot enough to actually help. I would do it without professional instruction of course, and obviously inform them I have a broken tailbone. I just get the impression it'll help me a lot with my pent up aggression.

Sorry cant help you there Cat. You could give it a try I guess, just make sure you warm up a lot and do loads of stretches. Even the training without power punches might be ok, doing likes of speedball, high punches, rope and sit ups with punches? Thankfully I have no back pain, and never experienced any but I would worry if your hitting the heavy-bag hard.
