This was supposed to see print last week but for some merry mix-up on my new "location", the material was not properly sent. It's not easy nearing the golden years (SAC people, you now have an idea of my antiquity). So to the followers of "Feel The Game" (surprise, I have some!), from now on, we'll see print on Fridays.

Only three losses smear former IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey’s record and all of them seem questionable. If you ask the Ghanaian, he’ll insist he’s never been beaten - fairly – in the ring.

                    [Summary] => It was a humiliating loss. And Malcolm Tuñacao only has himself to blame for the lack of discipline in regulating his food intake. Luckily, he wasn’t seriously hurt in losing his World Boxing Council (WBC) flyweight title to Pongsaklek Wonjongkam on a first round knockout in Pichit province, Thailand, last Friday.

                    [Summary] => Sydney-based Filipino slugger Arnel Barotillo has fought twice in South Africa and lost both bouts. Tomorrow night, he faces International Boxing Federation (IBF) junior featherweight champion Benedict (Lehlo) Ledwaba in his third match on South African soil. Will it be strike three and out for Barotillo? Or will he finally break the jinx?
