Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

I did hear Ben Damon say on a recent podcast that Tim T is looking at fighting again in Sydney in March.
Opponent was not mentioned
I think its the same card that was going to feature Nikita T and Paulo A.

Yeah ya can. 99% of em are.. The 1% are either dead, on the run, in the club, or elected..

 

As first revealed by Fox Sports Australia last month, a push is underway to have Tim Tszyu challenge for the WBO interim super welterweight title against either undefeated Russian Bakhram Murtazaliev or American Tony Harrison in March.

The move follows Tszyu’s hyped January showdown against unified king Jermell Charlo being postponed after the American suffered a broken hand during preparations.

As a result, Tszyu’s promoter No Limit is not only now pushing the WBO for an interim title fight against either Murtazaliev or Harrison in Australia, but wants both siblings on the same card and their Hall of Fame father ringside.

 

They should make Nikita v Victor Nagbe

 

That would be a great match-up
Actually, Victor called Nikita out during this post-fight speech when he won the Australian title.

 

Victor would outpoint Nikita comfortably at this stage.

I doubt the Rose boys will risk their potential cash cow.

 

Mundine-Pac getting some more traction.

 

Superfight! Hope for chocs sake it isnt serious. Pacman just doesnt age!

 

Yeah, I agree and will certainly be interesting times ahead for No Limit Boxing, especially if Liam fails in his World Title bid (which I hope he doesnt) and Tim gets knocked over in March.

I think Paulo will struggle when he steps up to fights guys on a much higher level than those he currently fought, which he should be doing next fight if he wants to beat Jeff Fenech and claim a World Title before his seventh pro fight.

 

Aokuso is pretty decent.

I like his energy and ambition but I think he will get a reality check sooner or later.

If he was at 108 beating that record is realistic but 175 has quite a queue of solid contenders forming.

 

He's had three fights now against guys that had good records, but hadnt fought for some time, so next fight , his fourth, really needs to be big step-up if he wants to go for the title in his sixth fight

 

Yeah poor old Choc's chin has gone the way of the Dragons chances winning a premiership..slim to none.

 

Agreed. Aokuso is going to get a reality check when he goes up the levels. My glass radar goes off a little bit when he fights.

 

And it's never wrong. Especially in regards to Queenslanders.
