    Great. Another fight with a half decent opponent falls through at the last minute and the punters get served up a bum who the local hero beats up. You wonder why boxing here is in decline. The public get sick of this scenario being played out time after time.Despite their constant self defence on the other forum our promoters are not doing themselves, their boxers and the fans any favours.All the excuses in the world can't hide aflood of these disappointments.

    it was a mismatch but the card in general was very good, some great mma kickboxing and boxing

    What do you expect the promoter to do when someone pulls out at the last minute?

    yes he won a 4 round decision, good fight, the last two rounds were good for the crowd as both were tired and trading big punches, his opponent had so much experience he did well to beat a guy like that in his third fight

    Heard there was a great crowd and Eric fought well, apparently there was a decent fighter out of Wills Bros gym boxing. Looks like the Perth scene is livening up.

    the promoter should get their **** together and not leave visas to the last fkn minute- not hard.
    i went and was extremely pissed off at the change. asked for my money back as that was the only fight i really wanted to see and typically they wouldn't fkn do it. will be following up tho.

    You won't have a leg to stand on as the promoter reserves the right to alter a card at any time. Sometimes things don't work out the way they want.

    mella, eric did a great job to overcome a guy who has fought, green,hamdan,masoe,smallman among others in only his 3rd pro fight (1 amatuer), it got scrappy at times but a good competitive fight that had some exciting exchanges
