hoppa never had the chin. but there are a lot of other rl and vfl players that would have been interesting.
a natural matchup. i recon hoppa would do it for the money? does hoppa still have the aussie belt? is that something 'team leapai' may be interested in? .
i think it was more his conditioning and lack of defence more than a weak chin. he was never ko'd by one shot it was a few in a row that did the damage. he has virtually zero defence.
Hoppa's a true wizzard of ring-craft! (Sally - Col Wilson won the Oz title off Hoppa about a year ago and is due to defend it tomorrow against Whitehead)
I can't believe fox sports isn't showing the Wilson V Whithead fight tomorrow night. I mean it is for the OZ Heavyweight belt. I hear big Col has been training hard & been off the **** for the past month.
disappointing isnt it that its not on fox... col will need to be training hard, whitehead is pretty good and has a very good jab so if he gets in rythm could be a long night for col
yet they show red bull planes doing ****, etc......or bowls, etc. **** me. australia needs a don king. someone needs to sell this **** to tv. the problem is the promotion talent, not the boxing ability. fenech had a go. but you CANT expect him to be a 3 time all time great...AND a great promotor. someone NEEDS TO STEP UP IF aussie boxing is to go mainstream.!!!!!!!
Yeah Beaver I know what ya saying..........sad isn't it. The most disappointing thing about Col is his disregard for his natural ability. He has a lot of losses on his record which he can only blame himself for lack of effort. I remember him pulling an alnighter & getting back to his motel room at 5am the day of the Jimmy Thunder fight. Was still spewing in his dressing room 20 mins before the fight from th episs & came out & boxed Jimmy's ears off for 10 rds. Not anyone can do that. I think he'l beat Whithead.
