Nah Brubaker is a step backwards he is a welterweight and recently got away with a draw against a novice. I don't blame Tszyu Jnr for this one though considering he is coming off two decent wins against Ritchie and Camo it will be good for him to end the year with a KO.
* World's Collide moved to Brisbane Convention Centre. DDP says its because of bushfire and smoke. Cbus Stadium had seating for 15000 and BCC holds 5000. Something DDP is obviously not telling us ? * Fox says Top Rank charges too much but i will very happily pay $ 15 to watch on FITE TV Bud fight in MSG with Commey vs Lopez ( stupendous fight ) plus Conlon and Ferocious also fighting. * UFC likely to return to Auckland Feb 23 . Dan Hooker likely to headline. * Alex Volkanovski has been preparing for UFC 245 Title fight at Auckland City Kickingboxing Gym. The Hulk with his coach Joe Lopez have used this strategy in the past preparing for major fight. Adesanya and Hooker also train there . The Hulk regularly trains in the Gong at Windang's Freestyle Fighting Gym.
I just saw Browne/Hopoate and wow. What a shitshow. Hopoate is totally old and shot and he still managed to cause a few scary moments for Browne. This is Browne's level now. Digging out Oceania journeyman. Hell.. One of these types will probably end up beating him sooner or later. Leapai ices Browne in a bad way no question about it. Bet on the dog Everytime Browne fights from here on out. Eventually it will pay off.
* Lucas Browne will be fighting Bowie Tupou Dec 21. * Dec 21 Daniel Lewis fighting a Indonesian 9 - 0 2 D 5 ko who has held the WBC Asian Youth Title and IBF Pan Pacific Title. The only problem this is at 140 lbs and his last fight was at this weight Nov 2 . DL is a SWW. This content is protected
Both Alex & Lucas had big overseas wins in their careers , good to see Big Lucas fighting regularly at home stacking his bank balance , it is imo well deserved and if he and Alex can cash out in their final fight even better .
I've Noticed that Dempsey McKean has moved to 13th in the WBO rankings. Who do you guys think Dempsey should fight to get up his ranking? Im think Junior Fa (Rank #7) or maybe even Tom Schwarz (Rank #10)
Yeah been hearing that floating around. Good domestic fight but wonder if it'll do any favours. Browne certainly ain't looked good recently. Might put Dempsey's name out in the UK though which can help.
I actually think it might be a decent fight at this juncture. I don't think that McKean hits hard enough to hurt Browne he would have to use his speed cause Browne is slow but still hits hard.
