Just watching a fight with the ex-boxer Francois Botha, the White Buffalo, taking part in a Fight Club competition

It was a semi-final fight and he was on top of the reigning Champion, from the Netherlands, and he gets caught in the last 15 seconds with a roundhouse kick to the head.

He isn't knocked out but loses because of the knockdown

at the post match press conference, at his side is Kalakoda, an ex-PTI from the Navy who seems to have switched from boxing to this discipline.

###########

The question was asked again, which is the finer art, boxing or kickboxing ... and on this performance where an ex-boxer is able to go toe to toe with a current world champion, says loads for the proficiency of a boxer

yes yes

quack

:woof:

Each time I start my PC it says CMOS Checksum Error, and then it asks for a boot disk. I have no idea what to do?? Any ideas? thanx.

There is a great article about the man found under this link :

People often think of The Twelve Days of Christmas as the days preceding the festival. Actually, Christmas is a season of the Christian Year that last for days beginning December 25 and lasting until January 6 - the Day of Epiphany when the church celebrates the revelation of Christ as the light of the world and recalls the journey of the Magi.
From 1558 until 1829 people in England were not allowed to practice their faith openly. During this era someone wrote 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' as a kind of secret catechism that could be sung in public without risk of persecution. The song has two levels of interpretation: "the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of the church." Each element in the carol is a code word for a religious reality.
