What can Australian Boxing learn from the rebuild & rise of the NBL?

I started the conversation with Lukie going through the recent results from The Ring 4 card in Saudi Arabia, from there the chat ducked and dived down multiple tangents and we really got stuck in to Lukie's thoughts on the sport as a whole, his experiences in training camps at...

The cobwebs are off, the dust has cleared and the TUSC is back for The Ghost world title fight week and who better to break it all down with than the all-time clubhouse TUSC pod guest leader, making his 25th appearance, the Aussie Boxing Scribe, Anthony Cocks.

Cocksy and I get right in to Sam Goodman's huge world title challenge against Nick Ball, a mini Knuckle Down if you will, how does Sam hang at 126? Is Sam the guy to upset Ball? How will the styles mesh? Who wins and how? We get to it all!

It's been almost 6 years between drinks, but making his long-awaited TUSC Pod return is former national amateur champion, pro boxer, historian, author (he wrote an actual real book!), current amateur and pro trainer and current NSW boxing referee and judge, it's mate of the show Paul Cupitt!

Paul and I jump straight in to the busy March domestic schedule review style, which as we all know now featured some good and some……. less than good.

The dust has settled, the emotions have subsided so now it's time to rip off the band-aid and get in to all the fallout from Tim Tszyu's shock KO defeat to Bahkram Murtazaliev in Florida this past weekend and there isn't a better person on the planet to do that with than the Aussie Boxing Scribe himself, Anthony Cocks for a fitting return episode 69 on TUSC.

Another Aussie in a world title fight is about the best excuse there is to have another chat with Aussie boxing Olympic and Commonwealth Games team member and returning mate of the show, Lynden Hosking.

So as I am for every Knuckle Down, I'm joined by one of the best boxing writers on the planet, the Aussie Boxing Scribe, Anthony Cocks.

We dive in to this rematch from every concievable angle...
