https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE0n_7i_VLE Any one remember this classic moment when Cliff Thorburn scored the first live 147 on T.V at the Crucible? (1983) Awesome! I don’t follow snooker much these days but there were some real characters back then.
Interesting to note that many years later Ronnie ‘ The Rocket’ O’Sullivan scored a maximum score more or less ten minutes quicker.

Yeah I remember it and remember Steve Davis doing one in the Lada Classic just before it, I think the Davis one was televised but only in certain areas of the country.
Ronnie’ 147 was incredibly fast, a record time I can’t ever see being broken.
As for sporting memories, the arrogance of this but having the brilliance to do this one gets me

Boxing is just as much mental as physical.Not all about how hard one can hit. Reminds me of Rocky 3 where Balboa makes Mr T mad and tires him out by making him chase him round the ring and letting him hit him and sapping all his energy , and then goes in for the kill. Eye of the Tiger! Awesome!
Ronnie O’Sullivan…probably the most gifted player of all time.
Thing is about boxing like any sport…especially Professionally. You watch your opponents matches, study him or her before hand, notice all the strengths and weaknesses, then make your own game plan accordingly.
Couldn’t understand Duran doing it though, in what was a golden era for middle weights he was in some proper scraps, admittedly I think Sugar Ray would have probably given him a good hiding, but coz he turned his back some Panamanians put a hit out on him saying he had disgraced his nation.

Yeah I remember that fight, Sugar Ray got drawn into a brawl which wasn’t really his style, even so a lot of so called experts said it was the wrong decision given.
The list of great fights at the time was endless, with the likes of Sugar Ray, Duran, Hagler and Tommy Hearns.
