Down Under Boxing Info

Yeah disappointing coverage to say the least only showed highlights of all the fights except the Bika fight.

 

Pretty damning article on this site about Jeff Horn. Horn's manager says Skeete is the most boring fighter on the planet.

Yeah Toussaint is a bit to much at the moment Sandman.
I didnt see the fight but read a few posts on Facebook saying it was razor thin, though they seemed to be from Ryan supporters or people that knew him.

Maybe a rematch is needed judging from the comments from our man on thr ground Midnight cowboy.

I dont think loss would be the worst thing in the world for the kid though. So maybe rolling the dice aganist a dangerous local opponent could be a win-win.

 

Don't use that word mate. Francis and MP are rubbing off on you.

 

Very astute observations, WhataRock.

I agree that a couple of losses on the way up shouldn't be a death knell. Particularly for someone who will have to learn as he progresses, like Tim the Toolman.

What's important is steady improvement.

 

WTF ? A Johnny Lewis fight night ? I can only imagine the BS/nonsense that must have been announced. Did Johnny himself come out with any wisdom for the viewers ?

 

This kid ZOO is hopeless, rematch that bum immediately or face the wrath of the Fab4

 

Whats that BUM journo Grant Leigh Keeza'a opinion on the Tszyu kid ? Whats he been writing in his column ?

 

Horn puff pieces

Yea TJ is a good talent

 

Watched the Junior Tszyu v Wade Ryan fight from start to finish.

It was a good, competitive scrap all the way. I thought Tszyu controlled things for the most part although my scorecard was close in the end (95-94 Tszyu - the same as one of the judges). The two other judges had it 97-92 & 97-93 Tszyu). I think those scorecards were perfectly reasonable.

A few observations:

- The kd was legit & certainly unsettled Tszyu. Wade Ryan isn't a puncher but like I said, the punch that put Tszyu down clearly unsettled (perhaps hurt, although not seriously) him. Junior Tszyu was probably fortunate it came at the end of the round.
- Tszyu repeatedly beat the other guy to the punch, was physically stronger, punched straighter & hit harder.
- Tszyu pressed forwards for the duration & controlled the centre of the ring.
- All the rounds were competitive.
- A lot of roundhouse stuff from Wade Ryan with not much on it. A lot of it didn't land effectively.
- Tszyu landed quite a few uppercuts throughout. Would like to have seen him land more jabs. He really needs to work on being able to out-jab guys at this level.
- Tszyu landed some good body shots. The other guy didn't land any.
