The Country's Jamie Mackay laces up his boxing gloves for another verbal sparring match with Winston Peters. Will he win?

The Country's Jamie Mackay laces up his boxing gloves for another verbal sparring match with Winston Peters. Will he win?

Round One: Should Chester Borrows be stood down? Both agree on this one but Winston still comes out swinging. Peters wins on points.

Round Two: Brexit, Britain and Biden. Mackay tries to get in a few jabs but he is forced on the ropes. Peters takes out this round by a country mile.

Round Three: Silver Fern Farms. Jamie brings up this topic again and it sounds like Winston's energy is flagging. Mackay sees an opening and tries to land a punch but Peters fires up and delivers a knockout blow. The judges' decision is unanimous: Winston Peters for the win.

Mackay should know by now, you can't win with Winston!
