    Probably the best boxing dvd I own. Well worth the money.

    Is excellent, and probably the best Aussie boxing recording commercially available IMO.

    If you're into history, another goody is the TV Ringside one. Is nowhere as definitive as the other one, but doesn't set out to be. It does however cover the TV ringside years of the 70's, very nicely indeed!

    Yes, and the cover looks like this:

    Features: Hec Thompson vs Manny Santos, Hilary Connelly vs Billy O'Connor, Kahu Mahunga vs Tony Mundine, and much, much more.

    One of my favourite sequences is where Charkey Ramon is refereeing and is forced to DQ one of the fighters. All hell breaks loose, and Charkey ends up punching on, and doesn't look to have lost any of his skill in retirement!

    Bought it probably 3 to 5 years ago for about $25, and from somewhere like a Big W or Target department store.

    Should still be getable, and probably cheaper now, but you might need to look around.

    Perhaps start looking on the Net first.

    That's Boxing was written by Grantley Keiza who wrote the book on Aussie bioxing. it was produced by Greg McNiece who makes the Crime Australia series. Mike Gibson is the narrator. Great story by Keiza on Bugner in last weekend's Brisbane Courier.
