Micevic will beat McKay if he can do the distance.Tough guy McKay but Micevic is a better boxer who can dig a bit. this is good matchmaking.
Exactly. The courts dont hesitate to throw the book at thuggish bouncers etc. He recieved next to no punishment so to me the courts etc found no substantial evidence to say he dog shoted Hooksy. Unfortunetly Hooksy got hit right on the button.Im glad the courts obviously listened to the whole story rather then throwing the book at the bloke because he happened to end the unfortunate incident. I wasnt so lucky. I done 6months in juvenile detention because some goose tried starting **** with me for absolutely no reason .But because i won the dust up,causing damage to the blokes facial features i was mad to look like the mug and spent time in a cell wondering why i bothered defending myself.
No worries.It aint always as simple as he killed the bloke so he desrves to rot in the slammer.I only done 6months in kiddies jail but still sucked ass being punished for something every1 tells their kids from a young age.Dont every pick on any1 etc but u must defend yourself. When i seen that Micevic got off i was very surprised.As i mentioned before the courts dont mind handing done harsh penalties to thuggish security officers etc. Made me think that he definetly must of had substantial evidence to prove he was seriously provoked to act in the violent manner he did. As u have mentioned before he probably hasnt choose the best ocupation to take up but i guess he knows what to expect.Going to be a tough road to success.
bassam chami got into boxing after doing time for killing a bloke in granville. no one seemed to mind much about him taking up boxing.
Its because all the bleeding hearts knew of the guy that Micevic killed. Had he not been a famous cricket player no one would care. I agree with ozzie that he must have had a good reason for what he done as he didnt get put away for it.
This fight is an oppurtunity for Zdravko Micevic to show the country that he is serious about forging himself a boxing career and that he did not re-enter the sport as a quick "money Grab" as he was accused of in the papers. He is focused and confident that he can do well and hopes to represent his country at a higher level. Most that have seen him perform have seen that he is quite talented. I have never heard any negativity at any of his first four fights with most of the crowd being very supportive, but he knows that there will always be some who question his motives. After his debut, he said in his speach, "Thankyou for those who came tonight to support me, and for those who didn't thankyou for coming and supporting boxing." Hopefully a good performance - win, loose or draw, will go towards earning him some respect.
Micevic had his first fight down here a year and a half ago, and he's had three more since. I've attended a couple of those, and though I started out a doubter myself, I can tell you that Melbourne is now only interested in how he goes in the ring. The other stuff is history. Maybe it'll take the rest of Australia a little bit longer? Having said that, I'm yet to be impressed that he's any sort of gun just yet. But the McKay fight will tell us a lot more about where he's at, and what sort of potential he has.
One legacy Micevic has given us is a term to add to the australian vernacular. My mate got into a fight with these two guys outside a train station and knocked one cold. Said the bloke got "hooksyed" on the kerb, pretty sure he lived though.
ive said it before said it again, micevic got villified in the media because he happened to knock out an icon and killed him, had his name been different, and had the person that died been someone that wasnt in the spot light i dont think we would of heard much about it at all. killings happen all the time in sydney, and we barely here of things that happen on the news, why is that? does the media decide to just show what can make them a quick buck? or is it the fact that if two guys kills each other and there not a public name no one really cares? sometimes people are forced to do things to protect themselves and there family, and sometimes the results that happen arent to great but its apart of life and we should all deal with it. micevic more so then anyone else would of had the book thrown at him had he been guilty as he has been potrayed. let his boxing do the talking now, he has every right to earn a living in this country as does everyone else.
personally i think micevic will win in a close fight, mckay certainly comes to fight so its always going to be a tought night at the office.
