George Foreman V Ron Lyle - January 24th - 1976

RIP George Foreman [1949-2025] – Fighter & Humanitarian! (22.3.2025)

On the other hand, George Foreman is such a genuinely good person that I simply cannot begrudge him his own successes – or condemn him for them. Good luck to him – and anyone else who can make money. I cannot do this – but I can recognise a truly spiritual human-being when I encounter such a person – and Mr George Foreman is just such a man. I am reluctant to speak of him in the past-tense – because I still feel his warm character that emerged from his emails around 20-years ago! He once said to me that he hates violence – but certain realities dictated that violence was needed in various stages of his life. I believe his come-back was motivated by the need to raise funds for his Church. He took the punches so that ordinary people could enter his Church, find peace, and live in love with one another. What a great man he was!

Joe Louis Destroys the Nazi Max Schmeling!

The Great Joe Louis Took-On – and Finally Defeated – Hitlerism During the 1930s! (26.5.2024)

Joe Louis appears to be functioning on a totally different psychological and physical plane of existence! Max Schmeling made much of the Nazi regime’s ideology and symbolism – giving the impression that his “race” was the prime-mover behind his earlier win over Joe Louis! Joe Louis was well-trained and mentally focused upon the task at hand! He understood that the whole world was watching to see if Hitler’s “racism” or Joe Louis’s “hard work” would win the day! Joe Louis made such a statement on that day that the world is still resonating from the ideological power of his punches! Two-weeks later, Max Schmeling had to be carried onto a ship bound for Germany whilst still lying upon a stretcher due to a broken vertebrae in his lower back.

Tyson Fury: The Post Box – With a View! (29.10.2023)

The Post Box was unavailable for comment – but sharp-eyed spectators have noticed that the Post Box carries the designation ‘GR’. Does this stand for ‘Gypsy Rule’? As you can see, the script writes itself. The small print will determine how many times Tyson Fury can be knocked-down without losing the fight on points. Another issue is how long this process can carry-on placing non-White MMA fighters in front of White Champions – whilst avoiding the thorny issue of how a number of MMA Schools are in fact ‘Activity Fitness Clubs’ for far-right political groups that gain mainstream exposure through their Hitlerite martial arts activities.

China: Zhang Zhilei (张志磊) – Professional Heavyweight Boxer! (16.4.2023)

His punching combinations are fast, fluid, well-timed and accurate – whilst his evasive upper body movement and lower body footwork is both precise and compact! He skilfully makes the opponent miss whilst always staying in range to counter continuously. His fast (combination) hitting is reminiscent of that seen within advanced Chinese gongfu practice – particularly when Zhang Zhilei initiates exchanges! I suspect that somewhere in his training background lies the Internal Martial Arts of China! As he progresses through the ranks, he stoically faces the racist disdain he encounters in the West – and lets his ability and ever-growing tally of victories speak for themselves! Indeed, although 39 years old at the writing of this article – this might work for him in a sport that is usually merciless in its treatment of older competitors! Chinese martial tradition and culture possesses an entirely different approach to interpreting the ageing process!
