Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Yes you did, I thought they would have fought about a year or so ago when Tszyu was still a prospect. It would have been a good test for Tszyu back then, but he's way too advanced for Morgan now. Still, good to see Tszyu staying active and Morgan for getting an opportunity like this. I guess the fight was easy to make as Kiwis don't have to quarantine in Aussie these days.

Wouldn't expect you to have much of a clue but most promoters in this game are slimy POS,being a nice guy won't get you or fighters you respresent far in this sport,where pro fighters have a small window to have as much success and make as much $ as they can.
I don't rate him and don't see him being in boxing long term once he loses a couple of his gravy trains but Lonergan has been good for those hes represented,succesfully negotiating and working with some of the best and biggest promoters in the business like Top rank,eddie hearn etc and most of those who have anything negative to say are generally those unable to get Lonergan to give them what they wanted

 

You are agreeing that he is a POS then you say he has done well then you say you don't rate him and he won't be around much longer? So what are you trying to argue with me about? I never said that Lonergan was unsuccessful.

 

You are just arguing for the sake of argument right now. Everything alright big guy?

 

I'm not really trying to argue anything,i shouldn't be suprised how clueless fan boys like you see things but just found your comment ammusing, since as i said nearly all promoters are slimy.
Your comment was wrong, about nobody that has worked with Lonergan, has anything positive to say about him and your opinion more likely fits the pattern of shitting on anybody who has any connection with Horn.
Unlike you I and most others in here,we don't let personal opinions (more like obsession in your case) on fighters etc,dictate the way we view things and are able to give credit ,or call out and criticize people or behaviour that needs it.

 

Bilal Laggoune, the guy Opetaia was supposed to fight like 3 times, will be on the same card as Kambosos.

 

It seems like you are still butthurt from seeing Horn get his ass handed to him. You need to accept that I was right all along. Crawford's team thought Lonergan was a grub so did AJ's team, so did Pacquiao's team, so did Tszyu's team, so did Zerafa's team and so did team Mundine. You said my comment was wrong but then you said all promoters are slimy. What is your problem dude? You seriously are demented.

 

Is it possible that this fight between Tszyu and Morgan could be in NZ on the Parker v Fa under card or you think that Tszyu will only headline from now on?

 

Would be nice but unlikely as Tszyu whould have to quarantine here where as Kiwis don't have to quarantine in certain states in Aussie so Aussie would make more sense for this fight.

 

The future Undisputed Junior Middleweight Champion of the World only headlines in this part of the world from now on.

Junior Tszyu > Junior Farter.

It would be nice if some of the promoters from this part of the world would work together to put on the best possible shows but that may be wishful thinking.

Even if Junior Tszyu doesn't go over there, Justis Huni would be a great addition to the Kiwi promotion if he was matched with the Kiwi H/W champ. That would involve the two former business partners working together which seems unlikely. Huni doing some sparring with Joseph Parker would benefit both of them.

Putting a fight like Jai Opetaia v David Light on the Junior Tszyu promotion would also make sense but that would involve Dean Lonergan & Matt Rose working together. Perhaps also unlikely although they did for Junior v Horndog & raked it in. There's a lesson in that somewhere.

 

Heard a rumour that Gallen v Hunt might be on the under card but not certain as Gallen apparently is injured.

 

Am I losing my marbles or was Bowyn Morgan listed as a southpaw up until recently?

I'd only seen one fight of his fights up until recently and though I recall he spent most of the fight in orthodox, he did switch hit on occasion unless my memory is betraying me. Thought maybe he was a converted southpaw or found orthodox to work better against this opponent or had injured a hand.

I just got done watching a handful of his fights and he most definitely fights almost entirely as a righty.
Now I see the 'Rec have him listed as orthodox.

Am I just mistaken or has this been changed in the last few weeks?

 

Gal wants to fight with the injury.

He is a tough man but I think that's ill advised.
