    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

I have to say the current craze of bare knuckle boxing should be banned. It will result in a death very very soon.

Australia's great white hope Bilal Akkaway who was undefeated and was fighting for some interim WBA belt just got stopped by England's Jon Ryder (sounds like a movie name) in 3 rounds. He got dropped twice and looked way out of his depth.
This is why i am strong believer Aussie fighters should fight for the Commomwealth title before trying for bigger glory.
Lucas "Big Daddy"Browne Australia's ex heavyweight champion (stripped for steroids) also lost in 3 rounds to Englands Dave Allen who is domestic level only imho.

australian heavyweights have always had the problem of quality sparring opponents .
the problem goes back as far as i can remember . when one time great oz hope jimmy thunder was about.
he was thrown in the ring against mike "the bounty" hunter . hunter had been tysons sparring partner for 3 years .
its was a massacre .i remember thunder sparing with ram rod carr a middle weight .

the problem still remains . i believe any oz heavy weight ,that thinks he's a chance needs to go to the
US for sparring and probably needs to for a couple years before tackling top 30 or commonwealth level talent .

Bilal was dropped twice and was under heavy pressure in the corner. The ref broke them and Bilal threw a wild body shot that landed on the ref's gut. The ref visibly winced and then looked angry and called the fight off which was a bit bizarre. Its hard to find the footage.
