Ex-AFL star Tuck KO'd in boxing debut
Sydney Morning Herald
November 11, 2015 - 9:45PM
Former Richmond AFL player Shane Tuck has been taken to hospital after being knocked out during his professional boxing debut.
The ex-Tigers midfielder was caught on the chin with a hard right from Lucas Miller in the fourth round of their fight on Wednesday night on the undercard of the Anthony Mundine-Charles Hatley fight in Melbourne.
Tuck, who played 173 games for Richmond before retiring at the end of the 2013 season, stayed down in the care of his concerned support team.
He was then taken out of the ring on a stretcher and an ambulance was called to take him to hospital, although a spokesman said he was sitting up and talking.
"They are going to keep him in hospital overnight for observation but he walked to the ambulance," the spokesman said.

Yep dropped his hands.
-
pfft...soft...
-
Hopefully that's the end of Tucky's boxing career
-
Hands up ffs
-
Hopefully that's the end of Tucky's boxing career
Let the bloke do what he wants.
On another note. Apparently he ended up walking him self into the ambulance
-

Of course
but to get knocked out because he made the blue he did, which was dropping one's hand; opening yourself up to get clocked might suggest boxing isn't a great career move for Tucky.
It didn't look good
-
Cool. Miss watching him play. No doubt if he loses, it won't be by KO
guess not. hope he's okay, keep your guard up shaneo

Stretched out of the ring!! Will not fight again.

It was a joke. Plus whoever goes in the ring must expect this. I hate the "sport". You do realise these guys go in the ring with the intent to do exactly this to their opponent or are you just plainly ignorant?
So get off your sniping high horse for once and STFU.

I am sicking of seeing jokes about a guy who got knocked out cold and had to be taken away in an ambulance. It's not funny and just because you don't like the sport doesn't mean you should make jokes when someone gets hurt. Think about what his family would have been thinking when he hit the deck and needed a stretcher. FFS. It's not funny at all
-

Fair point
That's why I am hoping it's the end of his boxing career
Has a beautiful wife, couple of cute kids... they're more importnat that getting clocked in a boxing ring for a few bucks

im sure everyone commenting would be happy to have a go :shh
especially the twitter tossers
tuck was a fine footballer. however im surprised he was allowed to box given his ear condition?
-
It wasn't pleasant last night I can assure you all
Nothing to joke about here
Saw a dozen of his ex team mates sitting behind me
Hope he doesn't go on, he has had a great sporting career and is a great fella
Brutal sport

His shoulder is probably still stuffed and he couldn't hold it Up

FFS the joke was not of him getting hurt. Read it carefully. At no stage did I make a statement inferring that it was funny that he got hurt. You guys say a lot worse about a lot of players that are mentioned on these boards.
As if I don't realise head injuries aren't funny. I've actually treated many patients with serious head injuries some of them fatal and yes it's not funny. I've seen the personal anguish of families losing their loved ones many times. It's gut wrenching. So STFU about giving holier than though opinions when you have NFI of what I think or feel.
And I reiterate, Tuck voluntarily put himself into a situation that meant there was always a reasonable risk of this occurring. It is stupid IMHO. Not that he deserves it because nobody does. But people need to take responsibility of their own actions and if he was that stupid to put himself in danger, he and his family should realise he should never do this again. Hopefully there are no residual effects from this incident and he can move on, much the wiser.

You made the joke, it's there for all to see. Why try and worm your way out of it? No one said you joked "Tuck got hurt ha ha that's funny". It's the fact a former Tiger soldier got KO'd brutally, was taken away in an ambulance and you decided to make a joke that belittles both Tucky and the Richmond Football Club. You admit it's not funny yet you joke. Just apologise and move on.
Your thoughts on the sport of boxing have nothing to do with what you said. Apologise and move on.
-
so I spose I better not post a cartoon of Tucky with "eat at joes" adverts on the bottom of his shoes then?

The joke was of his loss, not his head injury. You have to be kidding about belittling him and the RFC!!!!!! That's what you do on a daily basis of past and current players as well as coaching staff and admin staff that can all be classified as servants or soldiers of the RFC. You are one of the worst at doing that. It's the most common thing that happens on this site FFS. Many actually wish harm on certain individuals!!!! I didn't infer anything of the sort.
Now realise you are wrong and stop this crap criticism as it's obvious to all that if you live in a glass house, you shouldn't throw stones.
-
I don't think calling Lambert a dud or having serious doubts as to whether Hardwick can coach a premiership, or having doubts about some of the boards ability IS worse than making a joke after a great Richmond person gets KO'd. I don't particularly like how Chaplin, Grigg and a few others play at times but I wouldn't make jokes if they got seriously hurt, which is what you did.
And change ya bloody avatar FFS

True, some things are sacred. Tuck was one of our boyz

Can I dig up some of your old posts on Ben Nason....... :snide grin
I've been trying to find your commo avatar too so I can change mine :shh.

I can't remember making jokes when Nason got KO'd in his boxing debut and got carried out on a stretcher.

In fact I can't remember saying anything bad about Ben Nason on this forum at all. Don't know the fella, and I didn't rate him as a footy player. Have nothing against the guy though
But it's not like you to change the subject when you've made a bad call.

Okay back to the topic ...
Tuck KO: ‘Asleep with his eyes open’
Herald-Sun
November 12, 2015
IT was one of the most comprehensive knockouts you’ll ever see in a boxing ring — and the reactions were mixed.
Shane Tuck was carried out of the Melbourne convention centre last night after rookie fighter Lucas Miller KO’d the former Richmond tagger, who was reportedly still unconscious several minutes after exiting the ring.
He was taken by ambulance to the Alfred Hospital, with his crossover into boxing seemingly deceased.
The ring doctor by Tuck’s side, Peter Lewis, told the Herald Sun the knockout was one of the most comprehensive he had ever seen in his officiating career, describing Tuck as “asleep with his eyes open” after the hit on the chin.
Tuck remains under observation in hospital.
Friends said Tuck had been unwell leading into the bout with flu symptoms but felt obligated to honour his commitment.
His immediate reaction after regaining consciousness was to redeem himself in another fight, a desire family members were hoping would disappear in time.
THE SYMPATHISERS
There was immediate concern for Tuck in the aftermath of the fight, led by Brisbane midfielder Mitch Robinson.
TOO SOON?
It didn’t take punters long to pair Tuck’s early exit with Richmond’s recent finals performances.

Unprofessional comparison by unprofessionals

And people with even less intelligence would stoop to think that comparisons with Richmond'd finals performance and his loss of the bout had anything to do with being uncompassionate with his head injury. The two are TOTALLY unrelated. Get a life and stop taking snipes.

Shown up to who? The lynch mob You guys only feel brave when you gang up on one person. You're the bunch of wenches.
Just show me what I have said that belittles his head injury. Go on. Show some kahunas. Instead of criticism why dont you actually go back and demonstrate what was so disrespectful. As I keep saying, the comment referred to his loss in the ring. Just like our footy team lost the EF. Did he not lose? Sure he got knocked out and that is terrible for him and his family but he also knew the risks. On the footy field you expect your head to be protected. In the ring it's the target. Or can't you see the difference?

The longer this goes on, the worse you look pal. My hope is that mods dont save you this time. This should be on display for everyone to see who you really are pal

Not sure about that. I've already had pm's displaying support for me. And why are you such a coward for changing your username? Be a man and stop being a chameleon to protect yourself. As if we don't know who you really are (former poster wise that is).
And you still haven't had the guts or intelligence to answer my question. What did I say that belittled Tuck with regards to his head injury?
-
Not sure about that. I've already had pm's displaying support for me.
:clapping me too. Few choice words about your "joke"
And you still haven't had the guts or intelligence to answer my question. What did I say that belittled Tuck with regards to his head injury?
Here's a quote of your original post
Stretched out of the ring!! Will not fight again.
Must have been told the bout was an elimination final... :shh
You directly quoted a post where someone mentions he was stretchered off due to being knocked out. If you are honestly trying to convince us (and yourself) that you were not making a 'knocked out' joke (as in knocked out of the fight and knocked out of finals) you are delusional. What other meaning behind it could be there? You claim it was about the fight but you aren't fooling anyone.
-
Um, without wishing to place a target on my back or looking to take sides, i reckon the doc is man of integrity and honor. I am sure that if he offended people it was without intention. His posts before this controversial one usually have been with insight and without malice.

Well, you still haven't showed where I have made fun of his actual head injury. Boxers get knocked out all of the time, or do they not? Richmond gets knocked out of the EF. Yes that is the comparison, but nowhere do I make fun of the fact he sustained a severe head injury? I hadn't even seen the bout when I made that quote so I didn't even know he had been sent to hospital. All I knew was he had been knocked out and hence the quote. You're making out that I made fun of his actual injury which I haven't. But hey you're part of the lynch mob and so subtleties like that are far too difficult for you to comprehend. I shouldn't be surprised at all.
-
SNIP :banghead :banghead
keep the personal insults off the forum and stick to discussing the issues / topics
And a reminder and this has been in place from the day this site started in 2004
We have no issue with people quoting things from other sites as long as they referenced correctly
But what we do have an issue with people potting other sites that they may have issues with via OER.
If you have a problem with another site or posters on those others sites don't bring it to OER. We haven't tolerated in the past and we won't tolerate it now.
Not interested in the hows, whos or whys just keep it off here
-
No one said you think it's funny because Tucky got hurt, we are saying you made a distasteful joke which made light of his situation. Whether it was your intention or not, it is what you did. I cannot believe you continue to defend what you said. Instead of admitting it was a joke in poor taste, you are trying to twist what people have said in response. You're moving away from what the point is, and you're doing it by insulting users.
If you are a man/woman of integrity like GoRicho says, just apologise and move on. No one will hold it against you and nor should they. Everyone says the wrong thing occasionally.
But back to Tucky, has anyone got an update on how he is feeling?
-
Not sure about that. I've already had pm's displaying support for me.
;D

But back to Tucky, has anyone got an update on how he is feeling?
On last night Ch7 news they reported he was still in hospital under observation
Haven't read or heard that he's been released

I'm sorry but you are just not making sense.
Boxers get knocked out all of the time, or do they not? Richmond gets knocked out of the EF. Yes that is the comparison
You chose to make the joke on this exact comparison? How is that not making fun of the situation? I guess anyone getting knocked out is a funny situation
You must of also understood how serious it was when you directly quoted another poster mentioned that he was stretchered out of the ring.

I guess the bottom line is that if it was inappropriate the mods would have removed it. We don't need posters like yourself being the judge, jury and executioner.
So take a deep breath, believe me when I say it wasn't meant to disrespect Tuck and just move on.

YBB you generally sound like a well informed lad but like chunk when he was caught by the fratellis, there comes a time when you just have to bend over and take your medicine son. We have all been there, and whilst it sucks sometimes it just has to be done. :thumbsup
-
I've read some dribble in my time but seriously lads.......
-
Fights over. /thread ?
-
didn't have his guard up silly boy
Hands up ffs
Yep dropped his hands.
guess not. hope he's okay, keep your guard up shaneo
I think it is a tad insensitive, to say to a guy after he has been knocked out, that he should have had his guard up.
Do you reckon he wants to hear this.
Imagine going up to an injured teammate on the footy field and telling him to protect himself better next time ::)
-
Bad analogies - they're like rain on your wedding day....
-
you might get knocked out you keep talking like that...unless you keep your guard up

I have had my guard up from about 1983 onwards, unlikely to suddenly drop it now :snidegrin

That's funny as there a so many "poor taste" posts and nobody bats an eyelid. Maybe you should go back and look at some of your own posts over your time on OER.
And if you hadn't made such an issue out of my post, we could have savoured some more quality time of being on this earth.
Which brings me to the crux of all of this. Unless I'm being disrespectful to you, I would appreciate you leaving me alone with your snipes. If you find my post offensive, report it. They are the RULES of this forum. Many posters are staying away from here because they can't stand the negativity and personal confrontation in posts that are made by people like yourself. Stop trying to be a bully whilst being an anonymous internet poster and allow people to post freely without imposing your moral values on them. As I just said if you don't like what they wrote, report them. Isn't that easy? Or are you just an antagonistic type of person?
-
this blatant disrespect must be punished!
-
Don't worry doc, I took it how you meant it. It was a harmless joke.
I've heard a lot worse on hear than a joke about a boxer getting knocked out in a fight. After all that is the name of the game in boxing.
You step into the ring and you know that's a difinite possibility.
You never know, it might stop ex AFL footballers who think they can throw a punch think twice about getting in the ring.
Move on...

Footy and boxing are completely different mate. First thing you're taught when you learn to fight is never drop your hands. Obviously it happens all the time though and people get
Ko'd. Tuck would know it and would be filthy on himself

Remind me of mine (since you like to follow me from forum to forum apparently) and I'll be man enough to admit if it was a mistake. We all make them.
Sorry bro but if you think I spend my time on here following you around just to "snipe" you, you are wrong. Stop being so precious. This is a forum, isn't the whole point to generate discussion? It doesn't have to be all lollipops and sunshine, some people (rightfully) like to question peoples points of view because they disagree. You couldn't handle me voicing my opinion on your post so you resorted to insults. But I'm the antagonist?

You still cannot see that it DIDN'T NEED your opinion being voiced. It wasn't an opinion that was posted that can have someone disagreeing with it. It was a joke showing the irony of our EF losses by knockout. If you don't like the joke ignore it. If you find it offensive report it. Either way it didn't need you sniping at me. If you can't see that, you are a lost cause.

They are the RULES of this forum. Many posters are staying away from here because they can't stand the negativity and personal confrontation in posts that are made by people like yourself. Stop trying to be a bully whilst being an anonymous internet poster and allow people to post freely without imposing your moral values on them. As I just said if you don't like what they wrote, report them. Isn't that easy? Or are you just an antagonistic type of person?
Remind me of mine (since you like to follow me from forum to forum apparently) and I'll be man enough to admit if it was a mistake. We all make them.
Sorry bro but if you think I spend my time on here following you around just to "snipe" you, you are wrong. Stop being so precious. This is a forum, isn't the whole point to generate discussion? It doesn't have to be all lollipops and sunshine, some people (rightfully) like to question peoples points of view because they disagree. You couldn't handle me voicing my opinion on your post so you resorted to insults. But I'm the antagonist?
You still cannot see that it DIDN'T NEED your opinion being voiced. It wasn't an opinion that was posted that can have someone disagreeing with it. It was a joke showing the irony of our EF losses by knockout. If you don't like the joke ignore it. If you find it offensive report it. Either way it didn't need you sniping at me. If you can't see that, you are a lost cause.
So from now on if I post a joke no one is allowed to voice their opinion towards it? Hmmmm try telling that to the feminists who don't approve of sexist jokes. I'm pretty sure everyone is entitled to voice their opinion about a joke despite your objection of someone disagreeing with you. Also can you provide your definition of sniping? Responding directly to you and telling you your joke is in bad taste doesn't come under my definition of sniping.
Also if you honestly think this is some vendetta against you, you are mistaken and need to stop being so childish. Truth be told I thought you were Dooks (due to your troll attempt of copying his avatar) when I commented. It wouldn't matter if it were you, him, my good mate WAT or WP, I still would of said it.

You never know, it might stop ex AFL footballers who think they can throw a punch think twice about getting in the ring.
:clapping :clapping spot on big tone
Exactly, let's hope it does.

On Ch 7 news tonight, they had Tucky saying he wants to fight on despite being KOed.
He spent 4 days in the Alfred Hospital under observation.

Four days? Bloody hell. We usually keep people overnight if they've been concussed a bit. Tucky must have been absolutely smashed.
Hope he goes back to playing local footy and puts the gloves down...

Shane Tuck hasn’t given up on his boxing career and vows to get back in the ring

A MONTH after his disastrous professional boxing debut resulted in four days in hospital, former Richmond footballer Shane Tuck has resumed training, determined to prove he can become a competent fighter.
But Victorian boxing officials will still have to decide whether they allow him to return to the ring. It will be no surprise if they refuse.
Tuck, 33, who played 173 AFL games between 2004-13, was brutally knocked out by another rookie, Victorian Lucas Miller, in the fourth and final round at the Melbourne Convention Centre on November 11.
The son of AFL games record-holder Michael Tuck was carried out of the ring on a stretcher, still unconscious several minutes after a powerful right to the head ended a contest in which he had already absorbed considerable punishment.
After coming to in the dressing room he was taken by ambulance to The Alfred hospital where doctors refused his daily requests to be allowed to go home.
There were immediate fears Tuck had suffered life-threatening injuries as he laid face-down without moving while ring doctor Peter Lewis called for oxygen.
Speaking about it for the first time, Tuck revealed he should never have gone through with the engagement after copping a heavy hit to the head while sparring 12 days earlier.
“That left me feeling nauseous and crook,” Tuck said.
“I knew I wasn’t right but I felt I could still fight the fight and do well.
“But my trainer from Adelaide, Rod Davies, didn’t even come to Melbourne because he didn’t think I would make it into the ring.
“My main reason was I didn’t want to be an AFL footballer saying he was going to have a fight and then pull out.
“I thought bugger it, regardless of what happens I’m going to go through with it.
“If I had been smart about it I could have pulled out and fought a couple of months later. I completely and utterly stuffed up.
“I never missed a footy game for anything short of a broken bone and I didn’t want to let people down by missing this.”
Tuck’s former teammate Kayne Pettifer had one fight about a year ago, won it, and has not been back for another.
Former Western Bulldogs and Sydney star Barry Hall made a few noises about getting into the ring but never did.
Several high-profile rugby league players have dabbled in it with varying degrees of success.
Tuck, who had only three amateur fights as preparation, has angered the Victorian Professional Boxing and Combat Sports Board by not disclosing the training injury.
“We are very annoyed about that,” chairman Bernie Balmer said on Tuesday.
“We will be looking at him extremely carefully before he is allowed to fight again.”
Tuck admits his father is not keen on him going again but says his mother Fay — a sister of the famous footballing Abletts — was happy for him to continue.
Asked why he wanted to, he said: “I love doing it. I wanted to prove to myself I could do it. I don’t think I’ll be able to sit back and be happy (without another fight.)
“But I’m not going to rush into anything. I’ll take a few months off and next time I’ll do it right, be 100 per cent ready to go.
“Having only ever fought amateurs I underestimated it. The pros are much different. If you go in not right you can get hurt.”

Good luck mate

Stop it Tucky.
Just go play local footy where people will love you like RFC did.
Tough man, nothing to prove...

Who's ring but?

Taking up a career in boxing at 33 is just looking for trouble. With one severe concussion already, he cannot afford any more. I know he wants to do it, but sometimes you have to think of those around you when making these decisions. They are the ones that are going to suffer most picking up the pieces if he sustains long term brain damage. He needs to think about this long and hard.
-
He's not taking up a career, just wanted to try his hand at it. I know you probably haven't played sports, but when you are good at a sport you're usually extremely competitive. He can box but made a mistake in his DEBUT. He's competitive and doesn't want that to be his only fight. It's redemption time

Firstly when you fight professionally it actually means you are getting paid for it, so it is a career of sorts. He could just continue amateur boxing if he wanted to try his his hand at it.
If you call playing school footy till year 12 and 15 years of martial arts not sport, then you might be correct, but I call them competitive sport so I understand what he is going through. However, as Clint once famously said, "A man's gotta know his limitations" and I would have thought that the lesson he was taught recently would have made him realise his!

Have to say I am staggered he intends to get back into the boxing ring
Staggered

If it's not his main source of income then it's not his career. And it ain't his main source of income and I know for a fact he's not trying to make a career out of this. It also doesn't surprise me he's getting back in the ring. It'd cut him pretty deep if his only fight was him being KO'd. He'll fight once or twice more, and he'll do fine IMO. He didn't disgrace himself in his pro fight, he made a silly error which he will most likely not make again.

I'm backing him

Doesn't he know the golden rule? :facepalm Didn't he watch the movie?..... :banghead

If you give up after one set back you must have a very low bar and many limitations lol

The key thing here is that he isn't a 17 year old embarking on a boxing career. He is at an age where many boxers are considering retirement. At 17 you have the ability to learn and perfect new techniques. At 33 that is much much harder to do and your reflexes are starting to slow down alarmingly.
So if you have limitations at Tuck's age and he certainly has physical ones with his hearing already, they're only going to get worse not better, while a young person should not give up because they have a huge scope for improvement.
Just substitute boxing for footy. If you look like you are not going to cut it as a footy player at 33 even if it is just from one setback, nobody would EVER recruit you. This is because of exactly the same reasons as stated for boxing.

Did you write B-Hop off when he lost to Jermain Taylor

Lol! Tuck is hardly in the same league as "the Executioner".

Not the point.
you keep talking as if Tuck is trying to become elite in the sport. He's trying his hand at a few fights and apart from making a mistake in his debut, he more than held his own. Just let him have a few fights without posting as if he's some muppet trying to become Australia's best boxer

I hardly think what I post will stop him from boxing lol!
I just think that after one severe concussion, he and his family cannot afford another one. This is a dangerous situation. By all means box in the amateur leagues with their rules and head gear. I realize he is own man and makes his own decisions. Just thought he'd have noticed the warning signs that he was given in no uncertain terms.
