Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Decent card in as much as there are some well-matched bouts. But $70....tell em they're joking!

I believe Kayo are showing the prelims for free. Small concession that it is.

Hope we get some kind of RBR here from someone.....

 

Paying half the family farm to watch Teremoana blitz some desperate old hasbeen in two minutes is wonderful value.

 

I wouldn't completely rule out Crawford aswell. Highly unlikely but he's been out here a couple of times recently and you can't tell me the Tszyu v Spence event didn't get his juices flowing.

 

Ruston vs Aokouso would be a good fight. I think Ruston wins.

 

Paul Gallen vs NAS? Get the **** outta here. A fat retired 50 year old. Let's have him fight Jake The Muss instead and Nig Heke at the same time.

 

Best domestic matchup in the country, I reckon. I favour Ruston but I wouldn't write Aokuso off. Aokuso is a guy who was sent to the Olympic trials in 2020 without having ever contested an international tournament. The tournament also featured the gold & silver medalists from the World Championships the previous year (a Kazakh & Uzbek respectively). Aokuso draws the Uzbek first up & puts a whooping on him. Progresses through to the final from there & fights on even terms with the reigning world champ for the first half of the final. You don't do that without possessing a lot of natural ability. He's got fast hands, good skills & is a southpaw. Kirra Ruston has looked very impressive but you don't learn much from knocking blokes out in the first round. Aokuso had plenty of problems in his last fight but those are the ones you do learn something from. Good fight. If it's close, do a rematch. If Ruston wins well, fight the other Aokuso after that. Then Conor Wallace when he gets back from the UK. There's a clear pathway to the top for him if he's good enough.

 

Gents, I could be wrong here as it was hard to hear comms in the back of house last night but it’s Austin Aokuso they’re mentioning for Ruston. Not Paulo.

 

Truly embarrassing from George Rose last night. The bloke couldn't maintain his composure with a few people in the audience booing him. Eddie Hearn gets booed by the whole crowd but he just laughs it off and continues with the job at hand. George stormed off and made it all about him despite the fact his fighter had just slugged it out for 12 hard rounds and could have done with some supportive words from the guy he pays money to promote him. Such a fragile ego.

Really good fight last night. Was fun to watch.

 

Tim sent out a message via instagram wishing 4 No Limit fighters good luck but not Nikita. He wasn't at the fight. Nikita said he doesn't ever see himself going back to the Rockdale gym. Never say never. But Tim's a ****ing total gronk.

 

"But Tim's a ****ing total gronk."
Yep

 

Brubaker vs Hussein coming up soon. Hussein wins imo. Love Brubaker but he should have stayed retired.

 

Had that Tipping Point show on a couple months back and Brubaker was on it. Very random

 

Mazoudier fighting Charlo in October. It's going to be a train wreck.

 

He's a bludging dog mate!
