    Not at all Barge, it's just my opinion that the Super-cruiser divvy and 10 round Australian title fights weren't a good idea. My opinion and my opinion only. Kegsy differs - well at least on the 10 rounders. It suits promoters more as a 10 rounder costs less on the whole than a 12 rounder. Simple economics IMO

    No, im not in favour of the Super Cruiserweight division in any way.
    Think its 1 of the more stupid ideas to be honest.
    Cruiserweight limit should be 200 pounds in Australia same as the rest of the world.

    Hell no Kegsy - I have little sanity left as it is! I see the headaches and heartaches they go through and it is the last thing I need. I have nothing but total respect for promoters but they can keep it. My point is not having a go at promoters - it is stating a fact as I see it, 10 rounders cost less than 12 and they deserve any break they can get.
    Promoting? Hah! I'm still thinking about walking away from the sport - that would certainly seal the deal! LOL

    Couldn't agree more. Just how many pieces can you cut one cake into?

    Costra Chondros the Aussie champ in this division is a goer. But he ought to be in with a better field in the mainstream cruiser div.

    Just ditch the super cruiser division.

    To be completely honest super-cruiser would not be the only division to go if I was generalissimo of the universe, but that ain't gunna happen so they will all stay

    Why would you pull the pin Phil, Is the IBO causing you headaches or just boxing in General. We need your mug on TV and your bright shoes

    Haha! Big Fella - you are going to have to deal with life without those shoes mate, they've been retired!
    The IBO hasn't been causing me headaches as such mate, I am very proud to be part of it, and it's continual growth is something proud to be part of. Just recently I was sick of the time spent away from my boys and time spent away not concentrating on my day job which is where my boys future lies. I have a bit of a break next month as I won't be on the Channel 10 card and that might just re-charge my batteries a bit. Boxing is looking pretty poor if it truly needed my ugly mug on the box! The only bloke I am better looking than is Team Piper! :p
