Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Dazn was **** for me today for the Canelo fight. The undercard streamed flawlessly, what I saw of it but the main event buffered like crazy. I get constant 90mbps nbn, solid connection. How was everybody elses?

 

It was pretty good yesterday. Though it froze up and kicked me out of my account during the preamble before the main event.

Im trying to watch the highlights package now and its terrible. Won't play more than 30-45 secs before giving an error msg then you have to go back and find your spot in the video again.

 

There should be an age limit put on Australian boxing to prevent the bum carrosel that's plagued the scene for the last decade+ from ruining it any longer. I'm making a prediction - Danny Green will come out of retirement again this year and inject himself back into this mess. You heard it here first.

 

* Brock Jarvis opponent for Capital Fight Show Canberra is Kiwi Nort Beauchamp. Fenech says a offer to fight on DAZN in the works and discussions with Under Armour. Which would be a big deal as they only sponsor Canelo and Joshua.
* Conor Wallace defends his Aus LHW Title April 10 and if victorious he has said he will head to Melb to defend it with opponent TBA.

 

I just knew with the announcement of Bridgerweight..old Grinning Greeny would be chomping at the bit to bring back Dannyweight.

 

I seriously could see Green coming out of retirement to fight Paul Gallen LOL

 

Povetkin is paying $4 with Sportsbet I seriously reckon he will KO Whyte again. What are your opinions on this figh boyo's?

 

All depends on the version of Povetkin that turns up.. He was out boxed and hurt a few times last fight and this time he may be worse given his health issues..

In saying this Povetkin has a great chin and took Whbytes best shots last time so Whyte has to stay out of harms way for 12 rounds and given Whyte is a sloppy mess so its likely Pov connects with him again at some stage..

I'd say its a worth while bet..

 

That's what I was thinking like you said Whyte is a sloppy mess and he won't be able to go a full 12 rounds without making a mistake and an experienced skilled power puncher like Povetkin only needs him to make one mistake and he can capitalize on it and put Whyte's lights out again.

 

Chuck money on it. Whyte is not in his class even with Povetkin being as past it as he is.

 

My opinion is cha-ching!

 

Very much this imo.

 

* Gallen vs Browne is set for 6 rds Wollongong Wed 21 April. Press conference today at 10 am AEST. Browne purse is reportedly 130 K.
* Conor Wallace has signed with Tasman Fighters .
* Clay Waterman vs Charlie Bubb 1 -0 April 10 .This could be a danger fight as Bubb is a former Muay Thai Champ and Ben Mahoney and Jacob Ng showed they can fight.

 

Povetkin didn't do anything until that last uppercut. So either he learns from the last fight and tries to land something similar, or Whyte learns from it and really puts it on Pov, remembering where he had success and remaining vigilant not to stand open. I'm leaning towards Whyte. I feel Pov's knockout was pretty well constructed but was also super fortunate. The stars really lined up and I'm not sure he can repeat it. Maybe look for Whyte to stay on the outside, peppering with the jab and not getting caught out in the pocket, whilst sitting down on his big left hook a few times whenever pov moves it. 35/65 Pov/Whyte.

 

That April 10 card is a good, solid domestic card. Cant ask for much more in these times.

Any word on T.V coverage jupps?
