Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

That is exactly how I saw it. Ruiz was scared of that counter straight left from Ortiz after eating it a couple of times.

 

Ruiz looked terrible tbh and if Ortiz had any punch resistance left at all he would have crusied to a pretty convincing win..

 

That is a shame for the show he is on. Garside seems like a nice kid and he has good skills but he just seems like too much of a wimp to really make it anywhere as a pro. He can box circles around all the domestic guys at his weight but he really has zero power he couldn't bust a grape. Unfortunately I think he will get ironed out when he steps up to world rated opponents.

 

I think the Bronze Dosser's right hand will make BBQ'd Alabama pork chops out of fat Andy

 

Riuz should have stopped it early doors but he fought scared of being clipped by the old fella , Great effort by the ancient one though, imo Luis needs to drop a level & not fight even second tier blokes like Jr anymore if he's to continue in the sport , yes his skill & experience can still earn him a decent living providing he still enjoys what he does but no one specifically Luis needs to see him cope beating off the top lads in the division. Maybe he could channel all that experience into training younger fellers .

 

I wouldn't mind seeing pre historic King Kong Ortiz in with the Matchroom heavy bag Chisora

 

Hey Lads I've just got back home from my holidays where I watched Usyk v Joshua 2 , I'd be interested on any ones take on that fight ?

 

Nah mate that wouldn't end too well for either of them imo Prow , the fights got ambulance written all over it imo mate

Ps sorry I misread your post " pre historic " in that case 100% agree , wudda been a decent stouch that

 

I thought AJ fought pretty well, Outlaw. I gave him four rounds of which he probably won three. He went to the body, fought at the fastest pace he was able to & hurt Usyk towards the back end of the fight. Pretty good effort for a guy coming off an emphatic loss at home. He needed to be able to press the action even more in order to get Usyk rocking & rolling but based on how spent AJ was by the end of the fight, I think he'd done the best he could in that department. Usyk remains the alphabet king. Would be nice to see him in with Fury for Undisputed. Seeing two undefeated guys with legitimate claims to the H/W Championship of the World go at it is about as good as it gets at H/W.

 

Harry not being on the show diminishes it significantly. It's good to be able to follow the fortunes of our only Olympic medalist since 1988 in the professional ranks wherever they might lead. Particularly while he stays unbeaten. With these ppv's, they need to cater for serious boxing fans & not just the rugby league boofhead element.

Speaking of which...I think I'll buy anyway. I think Hodges has a chance of pulling the upset against Gal with his athleticism & punching power while I'm interested to see Joe Goodall get back on the winner's list against Arsene Fosso. A couple of once-beaten medalists from the 2017 World Amateur Championships at Super Heavy.

 

Sound interpritation of the fight , indeed Fury v Usyk must happen and I think it will but we gotta get Fury v Joshua out of the way first .

 

Mark Hunt vs Sonny Bill Williams apparently signed for december.

Damn.

 

Gallen v Hodges and Hannant both over 4x2min rounds LOL

 

SBW is a cat who won't ever take a serious fight with someone under 40

 

Hunt is probably still going to knock this bum out. Wonder if they'll try to cut the fight short without telling Hunt, or if the ref will allow SBW to hold on for dear life while out on his feet. Both of which happened when he fought the bloated corpse of Botha.
