After meehan is their any other Australian Heavyweights out their maybe prospect or even hasn't turned pro yet that you think could bring a World title or atleast a version of it back to homeland i realise it seems we struggle in the heavier division but we can cross out cruiser thanks to green but heavy is the problem?
Well one of the most exciting prospects I've seen in the division in recent years was "Bangin'" Benny Edwards. Dunno what's happening with him. He blew Hoppate & Leuii away in about a minute apeice.
last i heard alex got on top of him in sparring only lasted 3rounds or so last posted by leati or ashly i think theirs a footage of it.
Ben Edwards is first and foremost a kickboxer, according to interviews he is aiming to get into the K1 competition and has stated that if that is not his bag the he will take up boxing. Although he will probably campaign at cruiserweight, I like the look of Mostyn Niemen he is a very powerfully built fighter and has power in both hands from the limited footage I have seen. Leapai is our next prospect on the world stage he really needs international fights, I hope he can get some
With Noels track record of getting his fighters World title shots I dont think it will be long before we see Alex in a big fight overseas. Sol is also not done yet :good
No but I could find out easy enough....Alex was in Brisbane today sparring a few kick boxers....not sure if they jumped in together (weight difference)but Nathan CARNAGE Corbett was there as well.
No I didnt have any footage but I remember what was Noel said about Ben....it goes a bit like this... Ben gave it his everything in the ring with Alex when they were sparring....it only went 3 rounds but it was all quality....end of the day...Ben came back next day for more....gutsy bloke and hard man....he took some shots thats for sure and never complained.
Ben was a third rate kick boxer at best. I think continuing down the boxing path is a good move for him in that when his skills sharpen up he go back to kick boxing and be second rate.
