Australian boxing brothers

Is there any chance you could post some sort of journal or update of your fights/sparring experiences for us? I know it would be time consuming and stuff so if not thats okay, I would just be really interested to hear what goes on behind the scenes. I remember the footage i saw of you and you boxed well for a big guy. Be interesting to see how you fair in the US.

 

apart from when the fight is and who i spar with what else is there you want to know, training and just anything theat you dont normally get to see/hear about?
thanks for the compliment, they are few and far between on boxing forums

 

Im sure all of us would be interested in anything you can share with us avid Aussie boxing fans!!!

 

for sure! good to see a good Aussie heavyweight prospect :bbb

 

not much happening yet but back in serious training will keep you guys updated
fyi training atm goes like this , it will change close to a fight

mon am box pm weights
tue-box/spar
wed am- strength and conditioning pm-weights
thurs box/spar
fri- am strength and conditioning pm weights
sat-weights power training
sun-rest

 

How do you do your weights? Explosive?

 

Cheers mate. Anything and everything would be both interesting and appreciated. Whatever you find time or feel bothered putting down. Things like different people within the boxing game, or different fighters you might meet and what they are like. Venues and promoters and what sort of things you guys look to improve to get you further with your career. How much footage you watch? Just anything would be interesting. Do you do much running at the moment? How intense are the sparring sessions that you do and are you generally fighting guys who are better or worse then yourself?

 

mstr, some good ideas i will have to setr up some sort of journal/blog thing to write in

marcus, my weight training changes, right now i am in a hypertrohpy phase, i will then go to a strength phase, then close to a fight plyometrics and power phase, each phase is characterised dy diff rep,set amounts, rest time and exercise choice and the way they are performed

 

Cool mate all the best.:good
It never is too easy fightin in Australia with such a small range of fighters to compete against.

Would have loved to see u step it up with the likes of a Nathan Briggs or Hopoate or the like.
Maybe one day.:deal

 

your still putting on size?? .......holy crap!!! how big do you want to get? i hope you keep nice and nimble with a heap of stretching? do you seperate stretching sessions or just do them in your training you stated before?

 

i dont really do stretching sessions ,boxing doesnt require much flexibility and im reasonable nimble for a guy my size,
im not trying to get bigger i need to maintain size as i am a built up heavy ala holyfield,shane cameron

kegsy-im pretty sure ill be in against tougher opp in the states than the ones you mentioned, and for better money than here

 

Yeah mate no doubt u will be in with tougher opponents & better money in the states.
I just wish i had seen u in with better opponents here in Australia thats all.
All the best of luck.
Maybe u can get it on with Bowie Tupou??:think Isn't he still in USA.

 

if you want to see me in tough fights check out my fight with alex leapai , that was a good lesson for taking fights when not in top shape, i didnt learn my lesson properly though until i got knocked out in my only loss!

 

Yeah Alex Leapai is a very underated boxer.
His team were calling out Hoppa at one stage too.
Yeah that match with Leapai was a tough quality Aussie matchup.:good

 

who are you looking at next for a possible match up mate?
