Mark you came on this forum thus leaving yourself open to criticism or praise I disagree with the direction you take boxing, making it out to be a sport that accommodates pink boa wearing practitioners of sexy boxing. Boxing is undoubtedly the hardest sport on this universe not only for the death toll but the unrecorded brain damage suffered by the exponents I think you better understand every boxing match takes a toll on a fighter, especially in the Heavyweight division. Most of your opponents are backslides against soft fighters, most of who should not have been fighting you. Go to a Past and Present boxing lunch and see the price we paid for trying to be the best we could.... and thanks for contributing Leave these "I,ve had enough but need the money" fighters alone and go out and test yourself. Under Ippys guidance I hope it comes true but I,ll bet we are reading here in the next couiple of months that you have parted from Ashley and Ippey to seek greater things.
I would have thoughts Marks style of boxing shows he is more aware and concerned about it being 'undoubtedly the hardest sport on this universe not only for the death toll but the unrecorded brain damage suffered by the exponents' Why do you think he tries to hit and not get hit so much? Everything Ippy and Ash have done so far has been great. All Mark seeks is honesty and in Ippy and and Ash it looks like he has found them. Bring on March 17 and the rest of 2012.
Just noticed on boxrec that there is another bloke from WA using your criteria 6 of his 7 fights have involved fighters that have been stopped in at least 2 of their previous 3. His name Eric De Mori
Old man clearly wasn't referring to the welfare of guys who fight weaker opponents and don't even get hit atsch He's referring to guys like the 8 who'd been knocked rotten in 2 of their previous 3 fights before meeting Mark deMori, and who, for their courage only succeeded in getting knocked rotten again. It's pretty easy to 'hit and not get hit' when you are fighting lesser opponents who have already been knocked rotten a few times just prior to your bout atsch
Speed, Game plan, cardio and defence. No need to get angry Sally, just my opinion. You can have yours, I can have mine, they can be different and we can still even be friends. I won't hold it against you. :happy #sexyboxing
"It is going to cost $20,000 just to get the contender from the US. As well as marketing for the event, the catering for the event, boxing rights to the titles, Judges and contestants," Coleiro said. If team deMori were planning on paying Mark's opponent in the order of $7,500. Where was the remaining $12,500 going to be spent? Bearing in mind organiser Coleiro said 'as well' as other costs. Coleiro referred to the money being spent on 'the contender from the US'. Please explain what Damon Reed and Rob Calloway are contenders for exactly? Retirement is the only thing that I can come up with.
Can some body post Eric De Mori's record please. Then you can see if I am lying. 6 out of his 7 fights have been with fighters that have been KO,d in 2 of their previous 3 fights. Very disturbing practice.
