Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

I heard they robbed the Fijian vs choc jnr? What happened with terry Nikolas? Heard it was a bit of a circus? He called out Nikita tszyu apparently.

 

Yep he split after the lopez fight, over money apparently which is usually the case.

 

Promoter has different ideas.

I want to see it, I don’t think it will be completely one sided. Sonny Bill has athleticism and he can box.

 

Of course Lonergan wants it. He sees the $$$.

Given Huni's stalled career I dont see why he wouldn't go for it. If $BW can beat Gallen then that's the biggest domestic fight out there for Justis.
I personally think he would do it pretty easy.

 

Lots of Kiwis in here flapping their wings after $onny Bill's win. One even taunting us over the quality of the Australian H/W division.

I'd say the quality of the division in this country is the best it's ever been. Not sure judging it off a bloke who is 45 & who has never won a professional fight in his life is a logical way of assessing it.

It's not just Kiwis getting giddy over $onny Bill's performance either. The SMH has him fighting for the H/W Championship of the World within two years. First things first. Let's see if he can beat Gal. Or if he even has the calzones to face him.

As for a fight with Huni, I think the Kiwi who faces him next up will last longer than $onny Bill.

 

I think your in your fantasy world if you interpreted kiwis flapping their wings in here. Did a kiwi chin you in highschool or something?

I think SBW looked like he'd employed some Parker-esque tactics in there. Looked much better. And has a decent bunch around him. A year ago I'd pick Gal over SBW, but by the time the two face off, I'd be leaning SBW. Gal's getting on, and it's a fight that is a few years too late imo.

As for world class opponents, SBW shouldn't be mentioned with anyone in the top 50, make that top 80. Maybe get a shot to **** Arreola out there and see how he goes. Would be an interesting fight. I think even this Arreola stops sonny late. Maybe Molina. I think Molina's so ****ing negative, even SBW would score a W in that fight.

SBW vs Browne needs to happen after SBW v Gal.

As for Kiki Toa Leutele vs Huni, I thnik even SBW would do better vs Huni. Both get humiliated

 

I think it's good seeing a flock of Kiwis in here flapping hard over $BW. I did get belted once or twice on the football field by Islander blokes but I don't think they were Kiwis. I wasn't playing Union at the time.

 

I reckon we need Babic vs Sonny Bill in the Uk after Gal and Browne. Eddie knows the casual Brits all know Sonny Bill. That'll be a nice co main event

 

Timmy's first big test on the international stage this weekend. Gotta say I'm not feeling particularly confident in his chances.

The idea that he's going to blow this other fellow away is nonsense, I reckon. And what happens if he burns up a lot of juice trying to do exactly that & it doesn't happen? It's a 12-round fight & he may have to do the last 4 harder than the first 4.

It's not easy travelling half-way around the world, fighting & winning. For someone who has only ever campaigned domestically, it's bloody tough. As Tim is going to find out.

He's as well prepared for an international campaign as we can get him although I would have liked fights with Daniel Lewis & Michael Zerafa to have been part of his 20. He would be slightly better prepared right now for what's to come had he faced them.

Anyway, all will be revealed on Sunday (our time). I'm more nervous than confident but we'll see.

 

I don't hate her or anything I just find her to be an annoying phony that is full of herself. Yes she is beautiful but she rates herself and carries on like she is a prime Pamela Anderson. I don't think she is a very good fighter either she should've lost that last fight to that French chick. I also think she is getting opportunities that are more deserving for Shotgun O'Connell and Neeka Johnson.

 

Nah wasn't a robbery the Fijian did nothing and was scared to engage. Yeah that Nikolas fight was a joke the other bloke faked an injury.

 

Can't believe how anyone could be fooled by that performance Hall was cooked. I even reckon Lucas Browne and Mark Hunt could beat SBW. Sonny has no chin he may win the first couple rounds against Gallen but Gallen will get to him and stop him IMO

 

Yep I am also worried about this fight Gausha is not an ideal opponent for a first up showcase but if Tszyu is the goods like his Dad he could surprise us and annihilate Gausha. I am just worried that if Tsyzu doesn't get him out of there that he could lose on the cards. But I will say that Tszyu has a very good team and they haven't steered him wrong in times we thought that the Horn fight was too early or that Hogan might pose him problems maybe they see something we don't as Tszyu is very confident in stopping this bloke.

 

How is she a phony?If anything she is more transparent than most fighters.
Her gimmick is her wctual self.
Full of herself?What foghter isnt?
You may rate her as you like as a fighter,offcourse she isnt gonna be Christy Martin,she started boxing at 29.She is way behind most girls.
Agreed Neekz and Shannon are better fighters but that s boxing.Its a business as a mu h as a sport.Ebanie is more box office than Neekz and Shannon altough I agree she would lose to both.Handily probably.
It is what it is.

 

Each to their own mate if you like her that is cool I just think that she is a phony twat. I saw her give some cringe monologue on SAS that sounded like total BS to me. She is a former body builder so no doubt has done a lot of juice before and I saw something about her accusing O'Connell of juicing and trying to black ball her from Matchroom. She also ducked out on a fight with Neeka Johnson on the proposed Tszyu Zerafa card accusing Johnsons team of fraud.
