Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

I've done exactly that. Fingers crossed.

 

Lol Timmy has been in about 6 nrl jerseys now he's been called out about it before

 

To his credit he has admitted he is has shamelessly jumped clubs a few times.

As long as he isn't wearing a Manly jersey.

 

You got a very good chance mate.

 

No.

He is the self adorned Mr Mandatory at 122.

I think that's the furthest Flores could make it down.

 

Tim got the W and that's all that matters.

Love seeing the seppos rage.

 

Long day of boxing. Highlights for me were the two Junior Middleweight contests that bookended the No Limit show.

Wade Ryan's back & has dealt himself in as an opponent for Nikita next year. He did a number on the guy who held the Russian Junior Middleweight title until he elected to relocate out here. Timmy dominated against the dangerous Mendoza who was plenty strong & tough, but lacked a bit in the skills department for mine.

 

Awesome for Ryan. Great to see him get such a shock victory. It was a very long day indeed. At least we get our moneys worth on these cards.


Stacked.

 

Shakur Stevenson where you at b1tch?


Also, Tim is just taking in data literally sitting in the pocket. There's times where he can throw and unload, but he's seeing what Mendoza is doing. Just like Creed in his rematch with Pretty Ricky Conlan and he smiles at the end of the round saying to his coach '' I got him ''. Then goes out the next and ends it. Tim is that good and his mind is so slow, calm and patient, that he can just be there. No fear. Studying.


He see's it in slow motion. Sublime.

 

It will be interesting to see who Tim's next opponent is. They can talk all they want about Charlo, Spence & Crawford, but they can't force any of them to get in a ring with him. If the present day Doodles follow the lead of the Doodles of a generation ago, they won't go near him. The mere mention of the Tszyu name sends shivers down their spines. Which begs the question of who Tim should fight next given he's set to go again in March?

I'm not a big fan of his last couple of opponent choices, tbh. I think both were lacking hand speed & skills. Both attributes will be essential to knocking over a Big Doodle should such a fight eventuate & also to beating some of the wannabe Big Doodles. Don't get me wrong. Brian Mendoza earned the fight, was physically very strong & tough & gave the fans value for money. But I think if Tim's not facing a Big Doodle next up, they need to choose a high skill, fast hands opponent for Tim next.

So who's available? I like the 2016 US Olympian Charles Conwell. The two negatives for him are that he hasn't been active lately & he's not a PBC fighter. He's a potential future Big Doodle though who may actually pose a bigger threat than the current Big Doodles. He'd be my first choice but batten down the hatches if that fight gets made b/c it's a very tough one. Which is also why I like it. Beat him & Tim becomes a better fighter. They need to look closely at what Tim's going to get out of the next opponent if it isn't Charlo or Spence.

The best of the rest are guys who've been around the block or who have recent stains / blemishes on their records. Erickson Lubin I've always been keen on Tim facing for his skill level and the fact that he's a southpaw. Tim needs more experience with southpaws. Particularly if he's to face Spence or the Kazakh Middleweight who fought on the weekend when he moves up in weight. Jesus Ramos is another option there but I'm not sure matching him with Tim coming off a loss makes sense for either of them. Sebastian Fundora is another southpaw but he perhaps has more rebuilding to do than Ramos. He wouldn't be a bad bridging fight to Middleweight though. He might be an option for Tim's second fight next year if he can get a win under his belt between now & then.

Tim may only have another couple of fights at Junior Middle. The first choices for those fights would be Charlo & Spence which would potentially then open up a third fight with Crawford at the end of next year. If those fights aren't available, I'd go Conwell. If they can't get him, Erickson Lubin. Followed by a fight/s with Jesus Ramos &/or Sebastian Fundora later in the year on his way to the Middleweight division.

 

Promoter George Rose says Tim Tszyu’s next fight is scheduled for February/March and we have already heard Tszyu say he is done in Australia and will fight in the USA next up. So if they can't secure Charlo for the remaining titles, it makes sense he will fight another Yank.

 

Shakur is an ugly little gremlin

 

Looks like Tim is turning even his harshest critic's

Anyone seen any odds on Goodall v Ajagba? I am assuming that Joe will be the underdog so I am planning a large wager on him.
