    I think Ward embarrassed the Cuban 'knockout specialist' in his semi-final..

    Anyway, good luck to both of them. Is Damien indigenous? Ward is a traveller so it's an interesting clash in that respect. Hopefully both can have fulfilling careers.

    yeah he is, indigenous that is. but not full blooded. he's a monster middleweight. 6'2 with arms that nearly reach his knees. my mate that works with the oz team says that he can weigh mid80's one day and hit 75kg the next, likes its nothing

    I think you'll find that attributed to our very own pop svengali Ronan Keating :thumbsup

    Hopefully the lads are kept apart until the final, is this tournie getting much publicity in Oz because it's getting sweet FA over here.

    Yeah, been paying his dues big time. Hope he gets what he deserves and, if not now, sure to come his way in the future.
