    Not at all Barge, it's just my opinion that the Super-cruiser divvy and 10 round Australian title fights weren't a good idea. My opinion and my opinion only. Kegsy differs - well at least on the 10 rounders. It suits promoters more as a 10 rounder costs less on the whole than a 12 rounder. Simple economics IMO

    No, im not in favour of the Super Cruiserweight division in any way.
    Think its 1 of the more stupid ideas to be honest.
    Cruiserweight limit should be 200 pounds in Australia same as the rest of the world.

    Hell no Kegsy - I have little sanity left as it is! I see the headaches and heartaches they go through and it is the last thing I need. I have nothing but total respect for promoters but they can keep it. My point is not having a go at promoters - it is stating a fact as I see it, 10 rounders cost less than 12 and they deserve any break they can get.
    Promoting? Hah! I'm still thinking about walking away from the sport - that would certainly seal the deal! LOL

    Couldn't agree more. Just how many pieces can you cut one cake into?

    Costra Chondros the Aussie champ in this division is a goer. But he ought to be in with a better field in the mainstream cruiser div.

    Just ditch the super cruiser division.

    To be completely honest super-cruiser would not be the only division to go if I was generalissimo of the universe, but that ain't gunna happen so they will all stay

    Haha! Big Fella - you are going to have to deal with life without those shoes mate, they've been retired!
    The IBO hasn't been causing me headaches as such mate, I am very proud to be part of it, and it's continual growth is something proud to be part of. Just recently I was sick of the time spent away from my boys and time spent away not concentrating on my day job which is where my boys future lies. I have a bit of a break next month as I won't be on the Channel 10 card and that might just re-charge my batteries a bit. Boxing is looking pretty poor if it truly needed my ugly mug on the box! The only bloke I am better looking than is Team Piper! :p
