Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Is it his missus? I read she is 33 years old I know that Kenty’s wife was older and they have kids. Maybe he is divorced and this is a new girlfriend?

 

I thought he was a homo

 

Be awkward if/when he comes back and starts yelling and criticising players on 360 for doing far less.

 

George K was looking at fighting in Sydney, but has since signed with Top Rank and his next fight is in the US, due to his fight here in Australia not being able to be televised on Fox/Main Event.
Same with Justis and Jai, I doubt if we'll be seeing them fight here in Australia as often now. Maybe Justis will only fight here in Australia when Matchroom does their shows here.

I have also cancelled my fox subscription and now stream the shows;

Apparently Jase Maloney broke his hand in the 3rd or 4th round against Astro

 

Dan Rafael is reporting that the main reason that George Kambosos is having his fight in the states rather than Australia again is because of the No Limit Deal with Fox. He can only sell a ppv fight to Main Event Australia is where it is held outside Australia. This deal continues to disappoint

 

Ridiculous shutting down all the competition. Particularly Huni & Opetaia although Fox probably expected them to jump ship to No Limit. Huni elected to go elsewhere & hasn't fought since while it's become obvious No Limit aren't willing to sign Opetaia with the risk of litigation hanging over their heads if they do. Same reason they haven't gone through with signing Zerafa. I thought Fast Eddie might fill the gap left by Dean Lonergan but that hasn't happened. It was an unnecessary change that's weakened the local scene. And I say that as someone who enjoys & supports the No Limit shows.

 

Weren't national titles in Australia a big thing back in the day?

I heard many Australian national title fights were even broadcast on your ABC, right?

 

Justis is fighting on June 17th on the Paro undercard in the US.
I believe Jai is still in negotiations to fight Masternak and it was their call not to sign with No Limit.
Next Matchroom show in Australia is around Aug/Sept with Stevie Spark rumored to be headlining.

After I saw Matt Rose jump into the ring and have a go at the ref following the Gallen/Hodge 1 stoppage and with George Rose's constant references to the wrestling, I stopped supporting No Limit.

I mean, they are calling the Melbourne show "Royal Rumble"...ffs

 

Sandman.
Can you please check if this one has been included in the Aussie v World scoreboard, as I couldnt see it mentioned.

30 March, 2023 (Toronto): Taylah Robertson (AUS) d Jaqueline Mucio Munoz (MEX) - W-UD

 

for those asking a few days ago...
Kiki Leutele defeated Julius Long - W-UD

 

I'll do a full update after Dennis Hogan & Andrew Moloney's fights on the weekend. I usually only include women's world title fights on The Boxing Scoreboard. I will however make an exception for Taylah Robertson & include her result on the next update.

 

When No Limit came in they were a breath of fresh air for Aussie boxing I like what they are doing with Tim Tszyu but apart from that they are now setting Aussie boxing back. Ridiculous that world class fighters like Kambosos, Opetaia and Huni can't get televised in their own country. This latest show with Parker v Django on PPV is a complete joke it might actually be the first PPV in a long time that I don't even bother with.

 

Sorry, I didnt realise the womens were only world title fights

 

It's not the worst card but PPV is a joke.

It's get a bit tiring when less and less cards are included in your subscription.
