Good on ya Hoppa. Didnt think he could beat Bob, thought he was a chance at a KO but would have never picked for him to stop Bob late. Will Hoppa and Sol even fight? Arent they mates and sparring partners?
Big Bob with his arm in a sling in the ring ...... was that really needed atsch Mate have a bit of pride and stand there like a man without excuse. The sling can be used 2morow when your body cools down.
I really enjoyed that fight and give John all respect in the world, he did the old fashion way he went through Big BOB
Yeah I thought past the 5th was Bob's territory but Hoppa showed improved stamina and obviously maintained his punching power, hats off.
Can't wait to see the papers tommorrow, that's a shock to the sporting public. Good fight by Hoppa, great stamina!
hoppa has improved well, when he started using his jab again in the 7 he regained control and was rocking bob, how bob stayed up from some of them punches ill never know, he was hit clean as anything, thought it would be over after 30 seconds actually... one of the most entertaining fights ive seen in a while, hoppa improved his stamina but honestly to fight sol, leapai, briggs i think his stamina will have to improve further, hes very wild with that right hand, someone that is very balanced like sol can counter punch and make him pay... good victory worth the 30 dollars certainly, would gladly pay that to watch another aus heavyweight fight if it was hoppa vs sol, leapai or briggs... and well done to hoppa on the way he acted after the fight showed alot of respect and praise for bob....
The heart he showed tonight, I'm my book all is forgiven, He is not just a footballer having and trying to fight, He is a fighter now, he show all part tonight in being a pro prize fighter, will,heart, mental strenght, RESPECT hoppa you have got it from me. thanks
sounds great, well done hoppa ! ! ! aus heavy champ now, i hope lots of aus heavies call him out now.
Good fight by Hoppa, I honestly thought that if he did'nt get a stoppage within 4-5 that he would run out of gas. Hats off to him, he's got power to burn.
