    I never got a chance to see John Wyborn fight, was he fairly decent?

    Who.. Wyborn?

    Digger was amazingly tough and often spoiled the party for favoured fighter he was versing. Holds a first round KO over Esb's own Mark "Bobby" De Mori, which is not that shocking if you know a bit about Digger's career.

    He fought from near supermiddle to heavy and went back and forth depending on who he was fighting. A true journeyman who gave a great service to the aussie scene.

    Tough as nails would jump in with anyone and most times above his weight can punch alright but mainly because he is so unco.

    Knocked out Mark Demori in the first round, dropped Briggs in first but Briggs got up and KOd him for Oz Heavy title, was also a very credentialed kickboxer back in the day:good

    Digger Wyborn definately came to fight. Thru punches from everywhere & anywhere. Very wild style that got him some good wins.

    Actually reminds meore of Sean Sullivan for some strange reason...just his weight variance and work ethic I guess...very Soliman-like in those aspects too I suppose.

    he could crack like the kick of a mule from what i saw of him.. renowned for taking fights on short notice and dropped some very big boys in his time..

    The one i saw dropped him pretty quick, but he wasnt hurt and got straight up.

    Sol's got a big punch in him that may get him out of trouble if needed, but I think someone mentioned it earlier - don't know about his stamina. Also, i'd like to see his ability at taking some heavy punches to guage his ability. I wonder if he is a quiet volcano waiting to erupt.

    Solomon is the best heavyweight boxer in Australia no doubt, Needs to take on Alex Leapai or Bob Mirovic but no one wants to fight him at the moment which fustrates some.
