Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Yeah we're a bit reckless lol.

 

* Hornet vs Tszyu talks have fallen through and annoucement will be made on Hornet
next fight after XMAS break scheduled for Mar or April.
* DDP Deedee Hobbs will attempt what Dennis Hogan did and fight for world title
in sucessive bouts. Deedee to fight for IBF 140 lb Champ Mary McGee Indiana on
Feb 8.

 

Tim Tszyu doesn't need Horn at this stage of his career. He's not ready for him and Horn should be looking at higher honours instead of trying to take on unproven prospects like Tszyu.

 

Merry Christmas to all the great posters on the Australian boxing thread! Merry Christmas to the Fab 4 as well.

Tim the Toolman should keep building. Fight that Kiwi next & prove you're the best Junior Middle in at least one country, even if it isn't this one.

I want to see Horndog challenge for a world title against either Brazilian Tex (WBO) or Erislandy Lara (WBA) next up. Horndog's late fades are a worry. Maybe just use the ref from the Michael Zerafa fight. Either that or he needs another hit-out first.

Looking forward to seeing Horndog become a 2-time world champion next year! Jeffrey "2-time" Horndog! Yeah baby!

 

Merry xmas knuckle heads, oz boxings new top ten have come out, tszyu at 5, george at 9, mmm dunno what to make of that. Horn gona struggle to get a big fight down under as no one will wana go near brissie again (tszyu aint silly) and if your an overseas fighter u will keep clear of oz unless you getting bucketloads of cash, bit sad realy.

Horn may have to settle for zerafa 3 or go overseas. George has accepted ibf eliminator with selby, they are waiting on selbys side atm, been chasing him since march. 2020 lets have it.

 

Absolutely mate,well said,Merry xmas to you and everybody else
What ended up happening with your end of year rankings,the people need to know who the top dog is?

 

I've been really busy in the lead-up to Christmas & am again today.

I need to finish watching George's recent fight before I can put them up. I've watched the first three rounds a couple of times & have George up 2:1 but I need to see the whole fight before finalising his position. I should get a chance to do that when things slow down after Boxing day.

To make up for the delay, I will do a top 20. Will be up before New Year's.

 

No idea how well the PPV did but hopefully Zerefa will get a decent amount from that to make up for that paltry 120k.
Murata is a beast on a different level who would have beaten both guys imo but I think either guy would have been a tougher challenge then Butler was and it's unfortunate that it looks like neither will get the big money they had been offered leading up to both Horn v Zerefa fights

 

Merry Xmas to all you aussies from here in NZ. Best thread on these forums I would have to say, always a good read on here with good healthy debate as always.

 

Happy holidays to all I'm going against the general view, I think Tszyu can and will be Horn if they fight. Tim may be green but I think Horn is damaged and not as good as portrayed. The Tszyu team won't fight in Brisbane for obvious reasons, I see Tim using his footwork to great effect early and targeting Horns cuts then slowly pick him apart to force a stoppage ,out with the old in with the new Horn has stamina issues which will prevent him from being an elite fighter heart can only get you so far

 

A very merry christmas to all my antipodian brethren , finally this thread offers up some fantastic debate , you lads down under got some fantastic lads that are going to be involved in big fights next year , personally I'm looking forward to Young George fighting Selby . All the best for 20 .

 

Gotta get Horn / Zerafa 3 on , I think Zerafa would be game enough , all depends on the Hornet .

 

* Jason Whateley vs Ben Kelleher CMW Title March 28.

* Next big AM tournament for Asian / Oceania boxers aiming for Tokyo is in Wuchan
China in Feb. Top 6 in their weight divisions qualify.

 

Seasons greetings. Looking forward to some good fights in 2020

 

* l originally thought the only think holding Justis Huni back was his height.
Looks like he has had a growth spurt ( he turns 21 in April ) and is now
193 cm ( 6 '4 ) and 110 kg . In two weeks he travels to India for a 15 day
training camp which will lead to a China qualifying event in Feb 3 - 14.
Its the top 4 that qualify automatic Tokyo berth.
