Zappa is on the untelevised portion of the card. Look for Vic to be decked out in swank Everlast gear and gloves.
Good luck to my man Vic...always gives it a red hot go. Seen some killa Everlast gear being worn in recent weeks...Arreola & Williams were decked out in some quality new gear over the wkend.
Hmm Vic better walk away from this a big winner. We need someone besides Green or Mundine to do something news worthy while there are so many casual fans into boxing right now on the back of Green's win... VIC KO6
I agree, Vic seems to know he fuked up the Abeko fight with his bull rushing tactics. He's got a tough fight here but one I think he'l win well in. Go Vic!
Vic isnt mentally as tough as he appears. The reason he lost to Agbeko was partly a result of Agbekos mind games beforehand and so Vic sidetracked from the original gameplan and went in there trying to knock Agbekos head off his shoulders. I dont thing theres been much back and forth bickering between Vic and Rojas so I think Vic should be pretty level headed for this fight.
Raff, you can find a venue on the SKY website but I'll make a thread around Thursday listing all the venues around australia showing and update it every day until the day of the fight.
Looking forward to seeing how Vic bounces back after his loss. I havent seen his opponent fight before, can anyone give me an idea of what his style is like ?
Yep, my contact in the US is the guy who did those guys gear. He's the boxing rep for Everlast in the US. They are really pushing E and have plenty of fighters using their gear and gloves. The gloves are quickly getting a rep as being a better punchers glove than the Cleto Reyes.
Everlast owns Lonsdale so that's not an issue. He may even carry a Lonsdale label. And I'm pretty sure he is wearing the E gloves. I'l find out.
Mate, I thought the same when I heard it. But fighters are saying it and many of them are switching over. Billy H thinks they are...and that was before Contender. LOL. The new MX glove is the bomb. Apparently it has less foam and more horse hair than the Reyes. Plus, the leather is treated with a sticky substance which makes for longer contact with the skin....and also causes more cuts as a result.
