The fist magazine - wtf ????

Heh, nah mate it was just a brief chat not a punch by punch account of the whole fight.

 

Good stuff mate.. seeing the last punch, you could say '****!!!!!!!!!', or talk for an hour about it. lol.

 

mags not that big

 

Picked up the 2nd edition of the new format FIST yesterday (with Vic on cover).

Again looking a much better quality mag than previous - the pics are very good - articles also good, but not sure if there's as many as previous. Must dust off an oldie out and compare.

 

I've just started a section on training ('Sweat Suits and Performance' in this issue).
If anyone has anything in particular they'd like to hear about let me know. I can't promise anything but if its something that will interest alot of people I might be able to do something on it.

 

The new FIST mag is out there - Geale on the cover.

Again looks and reads well. Paul Uphams review of Mundine v Geale is fair and reasonable, and the remainder looks good (haven't read much yet).

There's also fight posters for the upcoming FTA cards on Channel ONE.

Critisisms: Too many entire pages are devoted to full page adds which contain virtually no information or entertainment value (okay the advertiser pays for it but when you see the pages in question you'll probably agree).

 

Wasn't bagging it - only the full page adverts with virtually no content - overall it's certainly better than its predecessor. The fact that I buy it each month is my endorsement.

 

No drama.

The Grange page is fine IMO because it contains pics of their fighters etc. (ie it's somewhat informative).

It's the full page ads that contain only a web address or a single symbol etc that bother me. It amazes me that companies would go to the significant investment of buying a large 'billboard' and then only use a small portion of it. It's a lose-lose for both the reader and advertiser (as distinct from a win-win) IMO.
