He will be training with Freddie Roach in the US and have some fights there and some fights here. I think he goes over in the next couple of weeks to do some training. There will be word about his Aus title soon as well
Who said he will be training with Freddy Roach, I heard he will be doing some training with ****** Fortune who has left Freddy and has his own gym now in Las Vegas. He will also be training at Lake Arrowhead where his new Manager Stuart Duncan owns a camp. I am pretty sure he will be fighting under Dan Goosen's Promotions:thumbsup
Anenigma my bad meant to say J u s t i n Fortune but was off with the pixies why carnt you write J u s t i n as 1 word
I typed ****** but it came out as stars on my handheld, thought maybe the mods had something to do with it so just left it. Cedrich I think I worked out who you are after the SMA thread, hope all is working out alright for you:thumbsup
there is no need to go to USA there are fights out here that could be made, he will find it tough over there.
There is about 1000 registered Boxers in Australia give or take, In the states there is the same amount of registered Heavyweights, do the maths and it's quite a smart move for a guy with no amateur background.
very true, He could make alot of exciting match-ups with american journeyman/up and comers and possibly mature into quite a good fighter, i think it would be beneficial for all of our top 5 to seek fights in america
Hoppa wouldn't beat any of the recognised heavies in Australasia . Haumono ,Cameron,Meehan , Leapai a fit Colin Wilson even AFL player Barry Hall would probably give him a touch up after a eight week preparation. And there's a big chance Big Bob would turn the tables in a rematch. Hoppa is 33yrs old & you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Good luck to him if he thinks he can make some bucks in the U.S.A. but they would want to pick his opponents very carefully. There'll be some pretty mean journeymen heavies over there waiting to give him a boxing lesson. David Tua & Jimmy Thunder he ain't. And pleeeese pleeeese don't become a big mouthed blowhard like a certain super middle from Sydney we all know.
Welcome to aussie ESB......dont know about Wilson and Bob beating Hoppa......I think his team will pick his fight well........agree he wont beat the first 4 guys on your list
Now this I agree with. :deal If Bob fought Hoppa the way he fought Cameron, Hoppa would have gone down. And he will in the rematch.
If they come properly prepared, and with a ref who won't allow the same rough tactics used in the first fight, I believe so.
