Afl players in general do a lot of boxing for fitness in their programs.Geez Liam can throw a decent one judging by the video.

Boxing for fitness is not boxing (I've done both) as it doesnt usually teach movement and defenses. Ryan showed alright timing with his punches and slips, but his footwork was shithouse. Other bloke's was worse though. For what it's worth, my timing and footwork was also shit when I used to do it.Afl players in general do a lot of boxing for fitness in their programs.

Sounds like something someone who has never boxed would say .Increased aerobic fitness really is more a secondary side effect of boxing when it comes to AFL.
AFL players box as it helps with injury prevention and improves physicality/combativeness, which is what coaches are seeking.
When coaches say bring your mouth guard on Monday, it’s not for boxercise classes to improve fitness.

Unfortunately boxing has been banned at afl clubs due to concussion issues….
Karen never says sorry, she just moves the goalposts.Now Karen(s) you say sorry to Liam ok???
And an 8 week ban for anyone who said they liked Maynard during the course of this discussions.I still think Ryan should get a 4 week suspension from posting on Bigfooty.
Just to please those who wanted him to be suspended.
Given the problems in sport with concussion, boxing should really be on it's last legs given the high likelihood of repeated concussions.
Legal issues aside, at some point someone has to step in and say "we can't continue with something that has such a high risk of long term injury". Contact sports are wrestling with how to manage concussion, but there's no way boxing can deal with it - it's too ingrained in the sport, the "knockout" blow is the pinnacle of the sport.Most of the legal issues with concussion deal with a sporting organisation's "duty of care" to its players. Boxing isn't structured that way - if you're Boxy McBoxface who comes down with concussion related illness later in life, who are you gonna sue? Not like you can sue your opponents for hitting you too hard in the head...
Happy to move on, but does take away from the fact he's lucky to be on our list.
Final chance in 25 for sure.
