    I would like to see Garside turn pro but I understand if he doesn't want to.
    It would be good to see Tapia and Murdock fight here in Australia, what are the chances it happens?
    They have done a good job getting that deal for Jarvis I personally don't think he is that good and without careful match making he will get stopped badly with his style against anyone with decent power.
    Agree I think Maloney will win I hope the timing doesn't clash with Ortiz v Mean Machine on DAZN

    I dont want to disrespect what he has achieved but Harry lost that 1/4 final in my opinion and was totally outclassed in the semi..... he has a very awkward style and no pop in his punches, i think he did the absolute best he could do getting a bronze medal and should turn pro and feed on Thai's for a couple of years and get any quid he can as he's not much good tbh.

    I just read an article on Alex Leapai Jr. My christ! no 15 year old human should be that size.

    * Isaac Hardman is hoping to do a Jarvis and sign with Eddie Hearn and head to the States.
    * IBF to rule Lopez vs Kambosos Jr must be held in the States . Triller lost $ 5 M on the postponement. New site and date to be neg.

    Gal to fight 3 more times, mostly against footy players he said.

    Hope this isn't the only big news we hear this month. :lol:

    To all my fellow New South Welshman, stay safe and to all my interstate fam I hope this spicier flu stays under control in your state.

    Hello Boys & Girls. Some bad news I'm afraid. You know that second shelf we were proposing to add to the Stifler's Mum thread trophy cabinet? You know, the one for the second tier version of the WBA Supa Fly belt we had our sights set on. Slight problem. We didn't get it back. Nup. We drew a big goose egg. A doughnut. We could put Jason Moloney's newly minted WBC Silver Bantamweight title in there but everyone knows it's not a real world championship. Whereas the second tier version of the WBA strap looks like the top tier version so people get confused & you can pass it off as a legitimate world title. So we've got Harry's Olympic bronze in the trophy cabinet & that's it. That could be our haul for the year.

    As to the fight itself, what's there to say? Andrew Moloney gave it his all but it wasn't enough. It's not easy winning fights in the big show over there. Courageous, gritty display from him but not enough to claim the belt. The other guy fought better. After their first fight my thoughts were that our bloke wasn't good enough on the night. After this one, my thoughts are our bloke wasn't good enough.

    Gallen will box Kevins cauliflower ears off. Would like SBW vs Gallen or a Hall rematch

    Surely Gallen can't go back to fighting guys making their debut. It would be better seeing him fight Monty Betham than Kevin

    Love or hate Gallen he is considered a professional fighter now and not an ex footy player lacing them up for 1 or 2 fights, this should not be sanctioned

    Looks like the entire combat sports world has become like the Australian boxing scene. Washed up fighters and celebrity fights galore.

    I'd still like to see Michael Zerafa v Tim Tszyu. It's a good fight. Unfortunate what happened last time but it's not something Zerafa has bad form with. He turns up & fights including in other people's back yards. He shouldn't get frozen out of the local scene based solely on that.

    I'm all for the Tool Train facing some international opposition but if he needs to go to the well against a local opponent again, Michael Zerafa is the logical choice. Zerafa & Daniel Lewis are two names that should be on Junior's professional record but who aren't.
