Revenge.
For many, it's something worth waiting for.
For Danny Green, that wait lasted nearly eleven years.
But finally he's levelled the ledger from the defeat on points by Anthony Mundine in Sydney in 2006.
He's now defeated Mundine in Adelaide - also by points, after the fight went the full ten rounds.
Mundine, though, thought he was the better fighter and deserved to win and plenty of those who watched the fight seem to agree.
Not that that much bothers the victorious Green.
"He (Mundine) didn't win on one scorecard. One judge had it a draw but he didn't win on one scorecard. So, the judges saw the fight how most people saw it. Of course, he's going to have people saying that he won the fight. He's got his fans, his supporters. What the so-called experts say doesn't affect me."
43 year-old Green and 41 year-old Mundine are both now likely to retire.
Whilst their careers may be ending, the rugby league season is just getting started.
It's underway in the now-usual fashion with the Auckland Nines tournament.
The Sydney Roosters emerged from the two days of fast and furious action as champions.
The Roosters finished fifteenth out of sixteen teams in last year's National Rugby League competition.
But, as he tries to turn fortunes around for his team this year, Roosters coach Trent Robinson has told Fox Sports this victory in particular has him seeing merit in the sometimes-derided Auckland Nines concept.
"You know, people bag the Nines and don't support it. We don't always send our best teams. But a winning feeling is really important. So, it's a good start to our season."
In cricket, New Zealand has clinched the Chappell-Hadlee trophy with a 24 run victory over Australia in Hamilton.
It made the total for the best-of-three series two-nil to New Zealand, with the other game in Napier farcically abandoned due to rain.
The Chappell-Hadlee trophy, and fifty over cricket in general, increasingly struggles for relevance and context in a crowded cricket calendar, and one in which the Twenty20 format has superceded the fifty over game as cricket's shortest form.
This was reflected in Australia's squad for this series, where the likes of captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warrner were omitted, both being saved for the upcoming Test match series in India.
The man who was captain in their place, Aaron Finch, has admitted to Fox Sports that the quality of Australia's batting lineup in their absence played a role in the defeat.
"Yeah, we felt like it was a total that we could definitely chase down. I think we saw, if we had wickets in hand in both games, it might have (gone) a different way. But credit to New Zealand, they bowled fantastically well. And you see (New Zealand star player) Ross Taylor get 100. We got guys getting a couple of 50s and they don't win games at this level, unfortunately."
And in football, Sydney FC's lead atop the A-League has been trimmed to nine points after they drew 0-0 with Brisbane Roar, and Melbourne Victory beat Melbourne Coity two goals to one.
As it turns out, it's the same advantage that another side that wears blue uniforms holds in their competition on the other side of the world.
Chelsea is nine points clear in the English Premier League after beating Arsenal three goals to one at home.
Things have mainly gone swimmingly for Chelsea this season but this game against Arsenal was an important chance for redemption, after their initial game against Arsenal this season, last September, ended in a 3-0 hiding that went against them.
It's something defender Gary Cahill admits.
"We're confident when we're playing at home. We needed to get a win. We knew that a win would be vitally important for us against a massive club, a massive team. So, that was enough to start with. But, like I said, personally, I felt after the (first) Arsenal game, (there was) the opportunity to put a lot of things right. And it felt good today to get the three points."
A big weekend, too, for the new women's AFL competition.
More than 50,000 fans turned out to see the four games played.
Carlton, Adelaide, the Western Bulldogs, and the Brisbane Lions made history as the inaugural round's winning teams.
