    I would have liked to see Montiel rematch Valdez - that was a good fight while it lasted. All good match ups though - can't wait!

    I hear Hoppa is planning to sue the anbf over him losing the Aussie Heavyweight Title.

    I'm sure the ANBF would have it covered in the rules somewhere. I'm pretty sure if the defending champion gets stopped, the champion loses his belt.

    if he loses by stoppage, the bout is scheduled for 3 minute rounds and the fight is held in the division the champion holds the title in

    Foolish decision by TeamHoppa to take the bout over 3 min. rounds.

    As contracted, Hoppa vs Whitehead would have been something to see.

    A physically damaging fight for both.

    Cant wait for Vazquez Marquez 4. Gotta wonder how many more wars these two can be in before it affects their health though.

    If he had kept the belt how could he have walked around and still called himself a champion, he should win it back if he wants it so bad
