Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

I’ve got no idea how much actual notice the fighters for tomorrow nights card on Fox had. Hooda, O’Mealy (2kg!) and Aokuso all missed weight. Looking forward to Zalewski and Dib.

 

I should add, I’ve got no idea if the fighters made weight within the allotted time period after initially failing to make weight. I was just watching the Facebook stream earlier.

 

Sette could’ve stopped him that last round if he wasn’t too busy showboating

 

Dib calling out Kambosos lol

 

All the fights on the undercard had to dig deep in the cardio department as well. None looking their sharpest. No Limit probably shuffled last minute to get this card together

 

This new Hoops Court venue could be useful platform for smaller cards.

It has a UFC Apex arena feel about it.

 

Aukuso is highly skilled but man the showboating is ridiculous

 

Totally agree on this too

 

Aukuso vs Ben Whittaker would both be brilliant and absolute torture

 

Aukuso will find out when he steps up the levels he won't be able to get away with that type of stuff. The stupid thing is it isn't even good showboating when he steps back and walks to the side slowly he gives his man time to recover when he could've pushed for the finish. I remember Choc Mundine would showboat against inferior opponents but it would be quick flashes then he would take his man out. I felt sorry for Quinlin he is as tough as an old boot and should not have taken that sort of beating. No Limit really should look after him let him rest and then give him a few soft touches.

 

Brubaker v O'Meley was entertaining evenly matched but looked like such a low level fight. I hope they reserve a hospital bed for Jack because Nikita is going to do him some serious damage.

 

Agree with this - the best way to show boat is to get the KO which he should be doing at this level if he thinks he will get a world title quickly.
good fighter though, I like his variety and distance control but with his ability to hit Quinlan at will he should have taken him out.

 

I don't think Brubaker needs the extra head knocks to be fair. He rekons it isn't about money....

Solid character but I remember years back thinking Jack was looking like a good prospect unfortunately he found his ceiling pretty fast.

 

Aukuso now primed for his bid to beat Fenech record with plans to fight an eliminator for vacant IBO belt against German Adam Deines .
More likely WA minimum weight Alex Winwood who is now WBC no 2 after 3 fights eyeing Mexican Luis Castillo no 1 beating Fenech record.

 

Would be a nice twist if the quiet achiever Alex Winwood takes out Fenechs record instead
