This content is protected David's ko. Looked like a right to the temple followed by the right knock out blow. A good scalp as the Cuban was WBO15, and Light was WBO14. Always a bonus when beating a ranked opponent. He'll be in line for an eliminator if he keeps this up,
One of the funny comments in Spanish on the video was "the chocolate melted" It seems they thought highly of this kid and Light was brought in to vault him into contender status. But like Richie McCaw at the breakdown he snuffed out his hopes of momentum.
O don't know if Light can become a world champ, unless matched with a weaker opponent, but I can see him challenging for one, especially if Okolie moves up. That'll open things right up. Okolie is a tough task for anyone in the UK not named Briedis, Usyk or Gassiev. Light should be gunning for Koelling next. Opetaia is way up the WBO list so Light does nothing for him. No one is aussie knows David Light. Light was WBO15 sorry, Martinez 14.
Lol dude I was about to post some of those translations. Read them all. Some were like : "he's eating ham and cheese sandwiches and has the body of a salmon" or something to that effect.
Enjoyed the fights last night. Australia rules the boxing world on a Wednesday night (our time). Sure, the rest of the world is fast asleep but they don't know what they're missing out on. Commiserations to Gal on the loss. He nearly managed to Rocky Balboa it in the 9th. He's given another young bloke a chance to make a name for himself though & that's really his biggest contribution to the sport. Boxing in this country is the closest it's been to being back in the mainstream since I've been a boxing fan. Galvatron has played a role in that. Plenty of talent on the undercard. I reckon there were three guys capable of fighting for world titles one day. Sam Goodman got dropped but importantly not badly hurt by a light puncher. I've thought the difference between he & the likes of Liam Wilson & Brock Jarvis is a sturdy chin but I guess it's a case of watch this space. Harry did his thing & is probably ready for some name opponents. Francis Chua (who fought earlier on the undercard), Kye MacKenzie & Jacob Ng would be good headline opponents for him. The Sandman likes seeing heads hit the canvas so it was The New Tszyu's cameo that was the highlight for me. I think it's going to be fun over the next couple of years watching him clean out the local Junior Middleweight ranks. I see him being 12 and 0 by the end of next year. Would like to see him in with the likes of Luke Woods, Troy O'Meley, Victor Nagbe & Danilo Creati before the year is out. Then onto Joel Camilleri, Wade Ryan, Koen Mazoudier, Ben Mahoney, Dennis Hogan & the Russian Kiwi next year. Tim-ber!
* Dennis Hogan in line to fight for a world title for a third time to face the winner of the postponed Erislandy Lara vs Garry O ' Sullivan fight. * Demsey Mckean hoping to return Aug. * Billy Dib now IBF no 6. * Gallen earned $ 5 million from boxing. * Victor Ngabe vs Wade Ryan in the works.
I am going with Charlo I think that Castano is compromised. If it was postponed because of shoulder surgery I can’t see how he will be 100%
I've got mixed feelings about this one. I was looking forward to Michael Zerafa fighting for a vacant world title against the Brazilian who made the Olympic final. Out here. Presumably this fight takes place over there. Location is one ace that Zerafa needs to hold. All of his losses have been incurred fighting overseas. His only loss domestically could just as easily have been a stoppage win. I guess there are a few factors at play here. Firstly, Canelo getting done means GGG may not drop his Middleweight belts. So there's not a vacant world title to fight for. Secondly, Foxtel / Main Event are still playing hardball. It's hard to turn a profit from a fight in this country unless they are involved. I don't quite follow the logic of continuing to veto Zerafa fights beyond that they wanted to make an example of him so other blokes don't pull out of fights. What makes more sense to me is promoting boxing further in the state of Victoria. George fights there in a fortnight & a big Zerafa fight down there in the second half of the year would have built on that. Foxtel / Main Event's ultimate goal should be to push boxing into the mainstream nationally. You can't do that without Victoria. Zerafa is one of the best vehicles they've got for doing that. As for the fight with Mexican Mungo, apart from location, I don't like that he's physically stronger, hits harder & is probably physically more resilient. And even if you beat him like Dennis Hogan did, b/c he's the best Mexican after Canelo it's going to be tough to win a decision against him. I guess the bottom line, as always, is money & without Foxtel / Main Event coming to the party here, the most lucrative offer out there for him is from Mungo. It's a guaranteed pay day without the hassle of putting up money to stage it here so if that's what's in his best interests, okay.
