now be a man and challenge Bam for undisputed at 115. He’ll absolutely come back down to do it. He’s said it.
If Bam wants to join the conga line of yankee doodles that are coming to our shores girt by sea to pick up an L he is welcome to come hear that thunder.
He’s just keeping that belt warm for Bam. To be serious, I hope this fight happens. There’s never been an undisputed at 115 in the 4 belt era.
Pretty decent career from Andrew Moloney. Commonwealth Games gold medal in 2014, a WBA Junior Bantam belt & now the IBF Junior Bantam belt. Let's not forget he got shafted for a WBC interim belt at Junior Bantam out here also. Or that he got shafted in America in the second Franco fight trying to reclaim the WBA title. The problem with fighting that Blam guy in America is that the Doodle Dandies would cheat blind to get their guy the win if it happened to be a close fight. Moloney should do what he wants from here. He didn't accept step aside money to enable the American to unify & that's proven to be the right decision, if not the most lucrative one. Hopefully Australian television has the decency to televise Moloney's next fight. Slow Eddie Hearn has some television dates to fill out here so perhaps we can see a unification fight for all the marbles. Will be our first Undisputed champ at the weight since Vic Darchinyan.
The two most gentlemen of Aussie boxing the Maloney's. My favourite Aussie Boxers. Jason was robbed vs Franco. Thieving ****s. 26 minutes to view the footage or sone bull****.
I didn't see the fight. Unfair on Garcia if that's the case. Maloney was owed after Franco 2020. But now Garcia is left wanting.
It wasn't unfair on the Mexican b/c he didn't win. He was certainly the more aggressive but he missed many more than he landed. It was all neutral officials without a vested interest in the outcome & two of them scored it to Moloney. The third scored it a draw & she was a woman. She couldn't make up her mind. A good win & a fair decision (imo). The fight is on youtube if anyone wants to check it out. I don't think we'll see the Doodle bother coming back down in weight so presumably Andrew is open to offers. A homecoming fight would be nice, otherwise the money in the division is obviously in Japan so it could be back there for his first defence.
