Peter Badel is easily the worst Aussie boxing pundit and journalist I have ever seen. Ben Damon is a dork I used to hate him more but his play by play commentary isn't too bad I liked that he put it on Zerafa a little bit about the quit job.
This content is protected Zuffa Boxing boss, Dana White, had been quite vocal and confrontational about not wanting to work with the other sanctioning bodies, so I don't really see how or why Mick Francis is surprised.
Mick Francis confirmed they received all the paperwork prefight confirming the IBF title would be on the table for the fight. That is consistent with the IBF also collecting the sanctioning fee. Whether people agree with the IBF's decision or not, it is hard to see their process as anything but incompetent. They sent the paperwork. They took their sanctioning fee, and then they changed their mind about a day before the fight. WTF?
Just heard a rumor that Michael Zerafa could be fighting Chris Eubank Jnr next. Crazy that this guy keeps getting chances.
Who'd pay to see that bum fight. He's finished. He took the easy way out because he knew he was going to get knocked out.
Exactly, and wonder who would be promoting it as I thought No Limit were done with Zerafa. Maybe Matchroom??
Not sure. The guy doesn't deserve another shot. If it is true I hope he gets knocked out. Eubank looked feather fisted last time out though.
Out of interest.. Who's the best Aussie prospects coming up? I know of Teremoana and N Tszyu. Anyone else worth keeping an eye on?
