Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Sounds like your man May got his butt kicked.

 

If you could decipher that for me so I and others no what you are talking about?
I'm assuming you are taking pleasure in regards to the aussie fighter losing to Dickens,for starters I have only watched a few of his fights and only bought it up because I was asking if it was going to be on tv.
He lost as was expected over there against a tough former title challenger who's higher ranked then May but losing by scores of 97-91,97-92 and 96-92 isn't getting his butt kicked at all

 

ahio koed the undefeated german last night. Would like to see him in against Leapai. Would be good work

 

* The Hornet was offered $ 2 M to fight Murata. But after his annihilation of Bryant
in rematch to win back the title he should change his plans to challenge for the
MW Title and await the winner of a possible Tszyu vs Mundine Nov if he beats
Zerafa as Murata fight could have devastating consequence for his health as
a motivated Murata is ferocious. Catch a replay on the net you will be impressed.
* Cheeky May fight was on You Tube. I only became aware of this after
watching the Khan vs Dib fight. I only saw the second half and the second knockdown
of Cheeky was bogus ( a slip ) and seeing Cheeky finish strong and bias commentary.
And to MTK Aust agent Mike Altamura that was very poor practice in not letting
any of Aust boxing sites it was being shown on You Tube.
* However Aust boxers seem when heading overseas seem to lack big fight exp
and at the moment apart from the two Aust based Irish fighters TJ Doherty and Hogan
and the Maloney twins the jury is still out on the top 5 ranked Aust boxers Kambosos Jr ,
Paro and Murdock.
* Gaige Ireland new Aust LW Champ with tko over Brent Rice.
* Herman Purchell wins rematch over Willie Nasio MD.

 

Yeah Murata went full banzai on Brant in there.
Horn don't want none of that.

 

Murata impressive to be sure but some of Australian boxing's most famous victories have come against Japanese fighters.

Challlenging a world champion / gold medalist from the same Olympics Horn went to would be the kind of challenge that should bring out the best in Horndog.

My only real concern is whether he should be campaigning at middleweight against naturally bigger guys. What's wrong with a world title challenge at Junior Middle instead where he won't have that disadvantage?

Maybe they want to keep he & Dennis Hogan in different weight divisions so they don't get in each other's way? Or more likely, the ultimate aim is a mega-fight with the likes of Canelo or GGG. Win a world title off Murata & that's no longer a pipe-dream.

Perhaps a more sensible path is a challenge for a Junior Middleweight world title & then a defence against Junior Tszyu next year if he wins.

I reckon Horndog will go the Japanese middleweight route though. Maybe assess things after the Zerafa fight & make a final decision then. I guess it will depend on which fights are available & how much they pay.

 

Dib lost , we all knew that . May will never make it .

 

* Rohan Murdock fight for July 20 has been cancelled. According to Rohan opponents
pulled out because of visa problems , no medical clearance and this meant a suitable
opponent for WBO no 2 couldn't be found. Rohan hopes to take a week or two rest
before resuming training again for another fight.
* Unfortunately due to the fire at the Fortitude Gym the card planned for their July 27
has been postponed and WW Ben Kite and LHW Conor Wallace hopefully have a
new date soon for their fights.
* Joe Camilleri in talks for his first fight under Glen Rushton.
* Blake Caparello has been sparring with Regan Dessalix showing great camaraderie
after their highly controversial fight earlier this yr.
* Talk about unfortuitous timing. The same night as the Opetia Luna Park card is being
shown live on Fox the Hosking Promotions fight card Malvern Mania 2 is being streamed
live on Fight Call Out Facebook Page.

 

Well I'm just glad Jai Opetia didn't miss out *

 

Seems like a lot of aussie fighters are changing over to Glenn Rushton gym which is yet another endorsement that he is 1 of the top if not the best trainers in the country

 

Rushton is quite possibly one of the worst trainers I have ever seen. He was never even a boxer he is a Karate instructor. He has only had lucky success with Horn. Hogan is a product of Irish Amatuer boxing. Jeff Fenech reckons the guy is a moron.

 

Interesting. Anybody else of note in his stable besides Horn & Hogan?

 

Yeah but did you see the return he got on that high yield junk bond he told Horn to invest in?

 

Somebody may be able to give more names but I know he has some young talent and former top amateurs like Joe Goodhall

 

The facts and results speak for themselves far more then silly opinions from clueless fanboys and renowned haters like Fenech,who has a long history of saying negative stuff about so many of our top fighters and trainers.
Fenech because of his reputation as 1 our best boxers, was able to get his hands on a lot of the best talent in the country as a trainer yet was unable to have any success and ruined more careers then anybody in recent memory
