Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Jackson is fighting Louis Masters, who had a few fights with Aussie Dave N.
Interesting to hear them say that tickets are still available with only a venue capacity of 300.
But having said that, there still seemed plenty of spare seats at the last few of these shows.

 

I really can't see how No Limit are turning a profit on any of their shows without Tim Tszyu or Paul Gallen.

 

Two bangers straight up. I had a good feeling about this card

 

3rd one might be even better!

 

Larfield v Nolan somehow surpasses the first 2 on action.

 

All action. Just when you think Nolan's out he turns it around.

Rd 6 1 minute short...

 

Definite contender for Aus FOTY

Vegas cops his first loss! Damn...

 

Big Jackson Murray tastes the canvas hard.

Some pepper on Marsters shots

 

Jackson looked pretty average there but controlled 5 out of the 6 rounds fairly comfortably.

Louis looked a bit weird at times. Looking away to his corner, wandering around the ring and not getting to work when he had Murray in a bit of trouble. He absolutely went after Aussie Dave Nyika especially in their first fight but looked a bit gunshy tonight.

Murray did what he had to do after a year out of the ring.

 

Didn't get much of a look at Dylan there. A class above his opponent.

It does seem, dare I say, quite Biggs for the weight.

 

Agree with all that. Strange judges on that fight tbf

 

As someone who is often critical of No Limit I have to give props where due. Tonight was a good product. Layfield could easily have been fed a cabdriver for the easy win but credit to the matchmaker for putting him in with a live dog. All of the fights with the exception of the main were good solid matchups. I even thought Fenech and Harry did a good job commentating. Much better than Barry Michaels with his “oohhhh” and “ahhhhhs” every time a punch lands

 

Jury is well and truly out on Jackson Murray. Louis Masters can crack but he should probably be at 175lbs.

Great result for Nolan against Larfield. The main event was part of the who faces Nikita Tszyu hype. Dud fight but let’s see if they make Biggs v NT.

 

Biggs could be trouble for Tszyu. Will be interesting

 

Biggs has some size about him for a Junior Middle. And some punching power. Nikita's been hurt twice so far in his pro career so it could be a good test. Particularly over 10 rounds.

My 'Vegas Larfield can go all the way' prediction isn't looking so flash. In saying that, I thought he won the fight. The other guy fought very well but I thought young Vegas handled it & finished in front. It was one of those ones where perspectives may have been different if you were in the venue on the night. I think we'll see a rematch.

Jackson Murray has decent skills but he's fragile. I think a couple of those big, strong, Islander guys we've got in the heavyweight division would lay him out without too much trouble. Guys like Vousiutu & Teremoana would be too strong & punch too hard for him. A good test for Jackson at this point would be either of those blokes who fought the first fight of the night.
