      And spectators in attendance as well as supporters watching from home were convinced they just witnessed the two biggest contenders for Knockout of the Year.
      First off, Brandon Grach floored Liam Talivaa with a monstrous left-hand jab during the second round.
      That marked a major victory for Grach, who was competing in only his second ever professional fight.
      That was such a huge moment that one commentator described it as: “Knockout of the year in Australian boxing.”

      And his co-commentator was so shocked he couldn’t control what he was saying as he gasped: “Oh s**t.”
      Before continuing: “I can’t say that, I’m sorry, sue me, fine me.” He then repeated: “Oh s**t.”
      That was before Mark Schleibs and Shamal Ram Anuj entered the ring to lock horns.
      And Schleibs issued boxing fans another moment to remember in the fifth round.

      That was when the Australian cornered Ram Anuj and took him out with a powerful left hook to the chin.

      One boxing enthusiast tweeted: “Grach Vs Talivaa that’s outrageous.”
      Another commented: “Serious contender for knockout of the year earlier today in Australia.”
      A third wrote: “Another brutal KO on the same show.”
      This fan posted: “Wow.”
      And that one gasped: “Jesus.” More

      Grealish scores his disallowed goal after getting in the ‘POMO’
      Another ex-Premier League star, Joe Cole, had earlier got viewers talking regarding his outfit choice as he performed punditry duties from pitchside.
      However, shortly after Jack Grealish had a goal disallowed for offside it was Dublin’s turn to get trolled on social media.
      Man City ace Grealish had fired home a cross at the backpost before VAR ruled it out – but Dublin’s use of the old school “POMO” phrase left those tuning in bamboozled.
      And some even believed that he had simply made up the acronym – which stands for position of maximum opportunity in old school football chat – on the spot.

      “What the f*** is Dion Dublin about? POMO? Have a word with yourself,” said one viewer on social media.
      Another said: “Dion Dublin ‘Pomo’ WTF are you talking about?”
      A fellow viewer wrote: “Just heard Dion Dublin say ‘POMO – Position of maximum opportunity. Surely he’s just made that up.”
      “Pomo? Did Dion Dublin really just say that,” asked another.

      Bemused viewers continued to ask the same thing, with another tweet saying: “Did Dion Dublin just say POMO?”
      “Dion Dublin needs to get in the bin. ‘POMO’ is not a real thing,” claimed a fellow Ch4 viewer.
      Despite the saying being used by veteran coaches for decades, the terminology still seemed to go way over the heads of today’s football fans.
      “POMO? Dion Dublin strikes again. Never heard that saying in my lifetime,” wrote another.
      As another said: “Dion Dublin just making up his own acronyms now, POMO otherwise known as Position of maximum opportunity.” More

      Jake Humphrey reveals why he left BT Sport and opens up on awful bullying he ‘would not wish on worst enemy’

      by

      JAKE HUMPHREY has revealed he quit BT Sport for his family – as he launched an attack on social media abuse and recalled childhood bullying he “would not wish on my worst enemy”.The presenter says he “struggles with the modern world” and gets a stomach-wrenching feeling when he drops his kids off at school – due to the “nasty” treatment he received in the same setting.

      The former Champions League broadcaster, 45, is now more focused on his High Performance podcast and also wrote How to Change Your Life.
      And he explained how he was “not always that comfortable” as a TV frontman, partly as “the lads-y banter thing is not for me”.
      The ex-BBC Formula One presenter admitted being ill at ease dealing with “firm opinions” on BT Sport, rather than more subtle debate.
      Humphrey told The Telegraph:  “I often felt I was doing High Performance all week, and empathy and understanding and leaning into people. Then, on Saturday, I was having conversations about sacking managers and dropping players, criticising decisions made by referees.

      “I’d been dreaming for a long time, but not brave enough to take a leap.”
      He is also aghast at how toxic life online can be, having spoken out against “chauvinistic and nasty bullying” received by presenter Karen Carney.
      Humphrey said of trolling: “I think you would be a sociopath or something if it didn’t get through the armour sometimes.
      “I’ve always thought that if you just let this stuff go you are as complicit as anybody.

      “The only place that reaction happens is on Twitter. No one has ever stopped me in the street and said it… I just feel exactly like I felt when I got bullied at school.”
      The former children’s game show presenter then relived some of the abuse he got at secondary school.
      He said: “When we drop the kids off, I still get the feeling in the pit of my stomach when I see them walking off with the bag over their shoulder.
      “It still triggers me to this day… God, the feeling of having to do that day after day after day, knowing what awaited. 
      “There were these two buses in the school car park and I’d go and sit in there on my own and just have my lunch.”
      Humphrey also believes his school’s handling of the matter only made him feel worse.
      He added: “At that age, particularly at that time, people didn’t really know how to deal with it. 
      “I was asked to stand up in assembly and the teacher said, ‘Can people stop bullying this guy?’ That just brings more heat.” More

      Watch hundreds of Leeds fans hilariously troll lone Plymouth supporter over his chinos with brilliant chants

      by

      IT was a long old evening for one Plymouth Argyle supporter as he was trolled over his fashion choices by Leeds fans.Not only did he have to sit through his side’s 2-1 loss to third-placed Leeds but his chinos came in for a ribbing as well.
      The chinos in questionCredit: Twitter

      The fan opted for a grey cardigan and wide-legged beige chino ensemble but clearly these style choices didn’t travel well from the south west of England to Yorkshire.
      The fan was serenaded WITH many different chants focusing on his sartorial flair, with Leeds fans telling him “It’s a long way to Plymouth with chinos”.
      At one point the Leeds fans were in rapture as they jumped along to a rendition of “no chinos, no party”.
      That then turned into a chant of “chino’s barmy army.

      The fan was also told: “You should’ve gone chino shopping”, presumably either because the Leeds fans did not appreciate the man’s choice of chino or they reckoned that would have been time better spent than watching his side lose away.
      Luckily, the fan took it all in good nature and at one point began leading the home fans in an “ole!” chant.
      Fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, were loving the chants.
      One fan wrote: “I really enjoy the commitment to the bit.”
      Most read in Football
      Another wrote: “This is absolutely superb. Well done #LUFC”
      A third fan wrote: “Ironically, I reckon 50% of that Leeds stand are probably wearing chinos.”
      The Plymouth fan very nearly had the last laugh, however, with Plymouth almost mounting an unlikely comeback.
      Leeds were dominant throughout the game, after goals from Dan James in the 21st minute and Joel Piroe in the 28th had them leading 2-0 for the majority of it.
      But an 84th minute Ben Waine goal ensured a nervy end for Leeds with Plymouth piling on the pressure late on.
      Victory has Leeds in third place, eight points off an automatic promotion spot.
      And it showed who was really wearing the trousers yesterday afternoon. More

      The 26-year-old stretched his record to 19-1 after he beat Scotsman Josh Taylor via unanimous decision at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.
      The flamboyant New Yorker’s next fight is yet to be confirmed although he has a number of stars hoping to face him. 
      However, the star appears to be ready to take out the trash after tongue-in-cheekily suggesting he is embarking on a new job away from the ring – that “pays better” than boxing.
      Lopez shared a clip of himself where he is spotted lifting a trash bag into the back of a truck when he is asked by the person behind the camera: “Are you Teofimo?”

      He responds: “F*** yeah I’m Teofimo?”

      After the person recording shouts “oh s***”, the fighter then says his farewell before jogging after the garbage truck as it pulls away.

      “He’s the champion so I’m more than happy to come to his backyard and take that title.
      “He’s a great fighter and I think we’d give a great fight for the fans.” More

      Universitario’s victory saw the visitors break out into passionate celebrations the moment the referee’s final whistle blew.
      That was when Alianza appeared to pull an unbelievable act of “pettiness” against their foes.

      Fans around the world were left absolutely stunned by the move from the departing champions.
      SunSport columnist Piers Morgan joked the same could happen if Tottenham seal the Premier League title against his beloved Arsenal at the Emirates.
