Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

I think we can update the schedule. Instead of Australian boxing being given a five-star rating over the next five months, we'll get a mark out of 10 depending on the results of the fights below:

8 Oct - Dennis Hogan v Sam Eggington for the IBO Light Middleweight world title
15 Oct - Liam Paro v Brock Jarvis for the WBO Junior Welter mandatory contender position (I'm pretty confident we'll get a win in this one)
16 Oct - George v Haney for the Undisputed Lightweight Championship of the World
29 Oct - Justis Huni v Mairis Briedis for a possible top 10 H/W world ranking with the IBF
29 Oct - Jason Whateley v Mateusz Masternak in Poland for the IBF Cruiserweight mandatory contender position
12 Nov - Stevie Spark v Montana Love in America for a top 10 world ranking at Light Welter
TBC - Michael Zerafa v the Brazilian who made the Olympic final for the IBF Middleweight world title
TBC - Big Daddy Browne v Big Baby Miller in England for the Extreme Heavyweight title
29 Jan - Timmy v Charlo in America for the Undisputed Light Middleweight Championship of the World

One more fight to be added.

 

You forgot Gallen v Hodges and Hannant

 

The Jewel in the Crown of the 2022 Australian boxing schedule.

 

Massive fights. The world doesn't know what it's missing out on. Not on the schedule due to lack of international consequences.

I'm wondering what the format will be? I'd like to see Hodgo open the batting against Gal & go for the knockout. When he's just about punched himself out & Gal is due to return serve, he can tag in the Polar Bear until he's ready to have another go.

 

If Hannant goes first he won't make it out of the first round. I got a feeling Hannant might go first as they would probably like to have Gallen Hodges as the main event.

 

Pretty astonishing they still haven't figured out the format yet for the Gal fight.

 

Ruiz v Ortiz live tomorrow on fox sports 505 from 11am
Should be an entertaining fight I think Ruiz might stop the old fella

 

Nice.

 

Matchroom have announced their card. Off the top of my head, Abdoul Mayweather v Mateo Tapia, Skye Nicholson v Krystina Jacobs and Demsey McKean vs a German I’d never heard of.

 

ortiz blew it.
could have and should have won.
ruiz has a hard head. got tagged with some big shots but did not budge one bit.

 

How did he blow it? The guy is 43 years old and gave it his all he didn't stop trying he even went after Ruiz in the 12th. You just said yourself that Ruiz has a hard head so exactly what else did you expect Ortiz to do?

 

he could have comfortably won the last few rounds by boxing smarter imo. Instead he allowed himself to stay close enough for ruiz to catch him too often.
and come round 12 he was left having to try and ko ruiz to earn himself a shot at the world title next fight.

 

He had been buzzed and dropped multiple times. I think he did everything in his power to win the fight. He is 43 his reflexes have slowed so Ruiz was able to catch him clean all thing considered I think he did very well to make it to the final bell.

 

Ruiz bottled it if anything. He only needed to tap his chin and he could have ended it but spent half the fight creeping backwards for some reason.

Luis could of fight for 40 rounds at that pace. He had no real sustained pressure on him to test his old legs and gastank.

I think Ortiz legit hurt him a couple times early and Andy was to cautious after that.

 

Garside out of his next fight with another hand injury.
