    The Liv tournament is less than a mile from my house , millions of pounds pumped into the Centurion club but very little benefit to the area , plenty of traffic chaos for four days though

    Considered going , as it's local, but if they are paying players $millions, then they could afford to give free entry.

    Which is why I am not going.
    Instead I will give my money to the organizers of St Alban's half marathon this Sunday.

    WTF happens in the "entertainment pavilions" that justifies at least £1900?

    Appalling refereeing. The "slip" was definitely a knockdown and it got worse from there.
    The poor bloke was clearly completely out of it when he got dropped on the ropes.
    Ref clearly looks to someone before deciding what to do and start the count.

    The man's corner should've jumped in a lot earlier, too. Saved their guy from a real beating.

    England to chase 300 in 75 overs, I reckon - which would make it interesting.
    If NZ are able to declare - 320 in 70
    if Eng bowl well - 280 in 75-80
    However it pans out, it should be a good day's batting.
    I can't see this England team playing out 75 overs for 200-3 and a draw
    Audere est facere <ok>

    Also lost to two other future heavyweight champions in John Ruiz and Vitali Klitschko.
    Took Danny Williams' unbeaten record to win the Lonsdale Belt in 1999.
    Fought a bunch of other boxers who were title contenders, too.
    Probably best not to square up to him cos you've had a few! <laugh>
