    No doubting Kirbys heart but has he ever heard of a jab?

    It became pretty obvious early that Solly wasn't going to waste energy on a power struggle.
    Short sharp punches on the back foot had Mike falling onto them.
    Great performance. Very professional.:happy

    The atmosphere was awesome last night congrats to Angelo & Brian for putting on a great show & also for looking after us............Kirby was stunned from the 1st round,solo just worked him which I saw winning every round & kept on moving targeting his left eye that started to swell.....advice from alex to solo was to fight his own fight & stick to his game plan no matter what........eventually the stoppage came in round10.


    Congrats to team Haumono and also for Kirby your hard nut mate.

    Sol did well, thought Kirby would be too tough for him, but Sol's precision and persistance got him there, good win.

    A nice performance from homo last night.

    Kirby was laying all over him, nice combinations by Homo when the stoppage came about

    News can travel fast here in Sydney a very close tweedy bird said Angelo has Leapai vs Haumono for early next year for the OPBF.
    question is should they both concentrate on moving forward in the world ranks see where they get to then meet later in the future? it only a question and congrats to haumono for winning.

    Maybe becuse they are domestic level at best.

    Fight Meehan and that will decide if either can match it on a international level.

    that would be a good fight Sol vs Leapai if it happens which i doubt because they seem to be sparring each other and word is Sol doesnt want to fight Leapai !

    I think leapai and solo is ready for meehan meehan hasn't fought over a year now but don't let the time off fool ya have a look at Vitali after a 3 also year break then wins against Samuel.

    Leapai vs Meehan or Haumono vs Meehan this will put the end to who is really ready for the internationals and king of aussie heavies
