      Nearly as bad as squash.

        Depends on the action really. Courtney Walsh bowled into his late 30's, as did McGrath. Depends if you are side on, or front on, how the knees move, shoulder use (people like Craig White used to get most of his 90mph through his shoulder, so didn't bowl much into his 30's. Ian Bishop had loads of injuries, but was still bowling quick at 38.

        If you have a bad action, you're career will end earlier.

          Murder on the back. You're lucky if you can straighten up again without support.

            Well he got through it.

            However, he seemed just to flail. The adrenilin probably got to him and erased most of the training. I am not sure if he was just lucky not to face a more aggressive opponent or whether his flailing stopped Dawson from getting anything going. The knockdown was more due to Freddy being off balance than the punch having a large affect imho.

            The other fights were good though.

            PS:

            You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to mudskipper again.

              Not sure of why he would want to do this, even if he was to win, I doubt he has the time or the ability to box at a decent level.
              I thought it was 4 2min rounds
