Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Former champ who comfortably beat very decent contender Sergio Garcia in his latest outing.

Garcia ran Fundora very close. A lot on here felt he at least earned a draw in that fight.

Stylistically and physically different to Charlo but has the experience and U.S schooling to draw some comparisons.

Doesn't have the best chin or gastank, so that will give Tim confidence he can bail himself out if he struggles early. But offensively and defensively probably the most dangerous guy Tszyu has faced yet.

It could well blow up in his face but like I've said before if Tim can't best Harrison then he ain't beating Charlo.

 

Yeap they do & has been very good for that organisation as most guys atleast weight in similar, however none of the bigger organisations would do this IMO quite a few champions wouldn't be champions now without cutting so much weight.

 

And I saw last night that Kayo have removed all the previous D&L Events from their list.
Boo Kayo & Fox Sports

 

Fox Sports like an old girlfriend scrubbing all evidence of you past relationships from Insta.

 

I agree with all above.

Inactive boxers often take 3 rounds to get their timing back. The 1st 3 rounds are also a danger for Tim to get sparked, but as Harry is shot of match fitness and timing, I see Tim winning the 1st 3rnds and surviving the most dangerous time to be ko'd. Rounds 4,5,6, will be Tims hardest rounds IMO. Harrison will have his timing back and still retain most of his power. Tim isnt hard to hit. I see Harry winning those. Harry hasnt the best durability record from rnd 7 onwards, but i dont know if Tim will have the grunt to stop him. Rnds 7, 8, could go either way, but could give Tim the opportunity to press Harry and work on fatiguing him. While 9, 10, 11, and 12 should favour Tim as Harrison fades...?

Tim might also just get an embarrassing boxing lesson for 12 rounds and stopped late?

TJ Doheny at $4 I think the bookies have this one wrong got $50 on TJ and $100 on Murdock to beat Hardman at $2.25

 

I like Mazoudier @ $2.45 & Gonzalez @ $5.10 for the win. They look good value to me.

 

This only fight of night i wont bet on…
I aint seen enough of TJ, cant see them letting Goodman get done on cards…
Even if KO option comes up i dunno, I do like TJ in this one but cards???
…. Good local fight, decent card for Aust..
I thought Goodman got bit looked after on cards 3/4 fights back, but I like him, fights hard, local support he brings in crowd I dont mind either…

 

Im taking Mahoney in this one myself..

 

The Headsplitter versus Rohan Murdock is the fight I wouldn't touch. How does anyone work out who wins that?

My analysis begins with the general proposition that no fighter is as good as he looks at his best or as bad as he looks at his worst. The Headsplitter against Michael Zerafa was him at his worst. I think he's generally a tough guy with good punch resistance. He will need to be early against Rohan Murdock who can punch. If he can avoid being mortally wounded early, I think he can take over as the fight wears on against the inactive Murdock. You wouldn't say that based on his performance against Michael Zerafa but I think he's better than that.

 

Another local fight I like…
Hardman I feel edges this, just has to to try keep moving fwd… Good 50/50 fight…
Murdoch always good value…
… I like Hardman, hope he goes as far as he can… On a possible top 10 in division, he looked real slow in that Zerafa fight… He kinda moved ok, just looked very very slow in comparason…

 

Interesting to see the Chechen beast from the Olympics, Khataev, getting a start on the card.

 

Queensland sending in specialist glass cleaners to be on hand at ringside for this one.

 

Tickets sales aren't looking all that good still.

Did they close the mezzanine level or are all those tickets actually gone?

A few sections filling up, so the the Wednesday card and media blitz has had some desired effect but not nearly as much as they were hoping I'm sure.

Just going on anecdotal evidence from my mates, work colleagues and family, hopefully the PPV sales make up for the lack of interest from people going to see it live. A few are buying and some are going to the local.

 

Paulo is a very good prospect but that's just it. He is just a prospect atm.

Gonzalez is a proven old war horse.

That kind of money is crazy but I'm still leaning with an early Technical Draw. I think skulls will collide.
