Alex Leapai vs Owen Beck

haha...I wonder if we know the same bloke in the states

I have the same mail mate....going hard in training.

Good news in Alex has a full week of sparring next week with some of our heavy hitters and rangy punchers :good so he wil be ready this time to go rounds.

Its going to be a great fight for sure!

 

I'm looking forward to it, should be a great fight.

 

Love that jamie myer is using usa name heavyweights here. Its the best way to build up leapai for a crack at a title overseas. Name recognition counts in the heavys.

Sure beats watching a 46 year old fat fijian.

 

He had SBW for sparring :blood

This time he has Ben Edwards and Col Wilson :good

 

Alex seems to be progressing on nicely..

Personally feel he takes too much punishment to be a serious world title contender, though im definetly no boxing expert.

 

The guys are working on the movement issues and not letting the other guy get set and tee off...it may take a few months but I think Alex will get the required movement to avoid the extra shots

 

Colin wilson would be great sparring for lepai,good to see !though I think edwards would be getting more out of than lepai,but atleast a step up from previous prep work.

 

Leapai's team should shell out the big bucks to fly some guys over here to spar with. Not many heavies in Aus that can emulate Becks style.

 

That's far easier said than done IMO. Flights, money for sparring, food, accommodation. It'd end up costing an arm and a leg.

A more realistic option would be getting Alex over there as somebody else's sparring partner.

I know where you're coming from, but there's no budget to do that at this stage IMO.

 

Fair enough mate definitely easier said than done. I guess its one of the downfalls of being an Aussie fighter, we are so far away from the rest of the world that it costs alot to travel here.

Who has Alex been sparring with for his last few fights ?

 

With his height and frame his team should definetly work in him using a alot more bobing and head movement..I be watching tyson tapes if i were him.
