Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

D Hooper Super Hooper has been released from custody the other day ,
If no one knew .
Hooper probably will F it up within a year . So I wonder if Hooper get's another opportunity to fight at one of these events at year's end . I hope not .

 

* Rohan Murdock has signed with MTK. Not sure how reflects on DDP relationship or
is he still with them ?
* Jason Whateley looking for new opponent Oct 12 with withdrawal of Lance Bryant.
* Paul Gallen saying on Triple M that talk on going with Barry Hall.
* Aust LHW and HW Title vacant and announcement soon of who be fighting for it.
* Canelo vs Kovalev i assume will not be on PPV.
* Aust LW Champ Gage Ireland fighting rematch with Brent Rice. First fight controversial
stoppage with with Rice camp saying eye cut from head butt not punch.
* Damien Hooper is with No Limit . Wonder if he will pop on Tszyu under card ?
* Excellent article in New York Times on AFL concussion .

Hope Barry Hall don't pull out wit cold feet . Possible

 

I like what DDP have done in this country with boxing promotions but Rohan Murdock needed a fight in the first half of this year to stay sharp for his world title eliminator. He didn't get one & we all know what happens when our guys go in underdone against world class opposition.

Jason Whateley is very talented so it's going to be tough to find decent opposition for him at a reasonable price. What about that African guy who recently fought Joe Goodall in Bendigo? He won't be easy though.

Won't be surprised if Big Bad Barry doesn't fight Paul Gallen. We all know what happens when these AFL prima-donnas get in the ring with rugby league players.

I hope we do see Super Hooper on the Junior Tszyu undercard. Get him a W & then let's see him in action regularly next year.

How about Joe Goodall v Willis Meehan for the Australian H/W title? Someone's "O" has to go!

 

Hooper done . Probably will be on Tszyu next show cheap undercard for the promoter an Hooper would jump for $ 2,000 or $ 3,000 would not be more than that .
Hooper the biggest flop , an when he turned pro bigger flop .
Been charged for kidnapping **** drug's .
He didn't last long in Perth turn up for training red eye doesn't even train was told to Go at the end . If I still had my Boxing club I would not allow Hooper in da gym or the chance of him infecting my boys .
U know when I used to travel wit my team of boxer's things that I ceen . Meeting new boxin clubs I enjoyed it .
At night's end last bout is over I'd be invited by another trainer back to there motel room hav few beers or whatever I'd walk in they're smoking drugs his young fighter's would be sleep the older boys be awake smoking drinking I'd make up some silly story a leave straight away . I soon learnt whi was good an who was bad I did it for 30 year's stopped about 8 year's ago .
I won't say no name's seeing kids that where boxin turn to selling drugs for there trainer , not nice when invited over then ceening crap like that ,
One bad apple what it can do .
That's why Hooper never be aloud in my gym .
One club had fair few boxer's an club doin real good , some young kid went there joining with in weeks my friend running his club lost 3 of his best boxer's he been training for year's .
Me learning all this anyone joining my gym my eyes an ears be on them I'd find out all about them before I felt safe about it , anything bad can't stay .
If U didn't train 3 or 4 days a week an kept it up just tell ya to leave , or drinking alcohol on weekends picking fights not 18 tell ya to go .
I really enjoyed ceening boys boxin an doin it right an the right way growing up to men living a good healthy lifestyle don't smoke or take drugs .
Well anyways good luck to Hooper because he needs it .
Les an Les people like him .
Wonder who will train Hooper ?

 

Great behind the scenes stuff Roo , you are a welcome addition to this forum man .

 

* Dennis Hogan is expected to step to 160 lbs to challenge Jermall Charlo for WBC
Title Dec 7 Barclay's Centre NY. No official announcement yet but DDP expected to make
it official soon. Hogan mysteriously entered WBC rankings as No 5 the same with
Zerafa as WBA no 6 at 160 lbs . No surprise if he fights WBA Ryota Murata Champ Dec 23.
* Jason Whateley now fighting an Argentinian Oct 12. He then hopes to fight Aust CW
Champ Logan Daniel Russell in Dec. JW has also penned a management deal with Matt
Clark who manages Lucas Browne.
* Daniel Lewis is fighting on big ESPN card headlined by a WBC 130 Title and 115 lb
IBF Title up for grabs Nov 2 . Great exposure for Lewis.

 

Go Denny Hogan on Dec 7th . But if I was the Z man I'd keep away from Murata for a bit , great getting so high in the rankings imo but no good if you fall short skill wise v the elite , I'd get a few more tough fights under my belt before going full tilt , earn a few quid like , boxers don't get pensions .

 

Good news for Hogan this is .
But staying with Rushton I don't like that . How silly he looked on the news with Horn holding two tennis racquet for pad work ya .
Lol's

 

Sparing wit lad's that offer no compation mma wit limited boxin skill an Ben horn an other's . I was told by the mma lad what's going on , he said some boxin lad's he has spared have him on edge an scared he then said sparing Horn An Hogan doesn't faze him . The boxer's that frek him out render him useless I'll keep to myself .
That's why I thought Horn would retire
. Can't Horn going anywhere fast spose Rushton will have Jeff back on the tennis racquet nothing new .
Jeff should went else where would be doin new thing's new training techniques different pad work a world of good it be for him .
So Horn will stay da same way .
Hogan can walk into just about any gym in Australia a be Welcomed Horn can as well .
I reckon Rushton wants lime light an get in with the top end of boxin royalty
. Ay his move that he is making about the rise of Horn not looking to good now , more of a movie about Rushton how Deadly of a boxing trainer that he is . Thinking ending of that move be changed few more times .

 

BOXERS should stick to tried and trusted dyed in the wool BOXING trainers for sure , I missed the tennis racquet pad work session , what next , swimming tube skipping with Thope ?Lol.

 

Anyone on here knows if Akkawy still boxin on , or has he retired .
Hav heard nothing about him after last fight . ?

 

Very good trainers is what U need .
Just look at da Bronco's where they ended up , should of not let Wayne Bennett go .

 

Mate I'm in Wales for once I ain't got a scoobie Doo what you're talking about mate lol .

 

It would be pity if he has given it away mate he came here and was looking good but John Ryder stopped him in 3 rounds earlier in the year . He ain't old should come back from that .
