Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Delighted for Lucas who gets so much flak online but has more time for fight fans than probably any boxer I’ve ever seen.

We had a game plan to be aggressive early on and to initiate the pace and the contact. Sometimes Lucas is a slow starter and cops punishment on the outside while he has a look.

This fight we asked him to close the distance quickly and once Fa backed up to hold the ground (or keep Centre ring). Once Fa had his back on the ropes it was time for him to work.

Anyway, a peach of a shot and Lucas will make enough in his next fight hopefully to establish a gym and have an exit strategy after boxing.

 

Well done to you guys. Any specific targets going forward? I'm sure you'll have plenty of calls coming from all corners now haha.

 

except parker, which would be sellable, the only other big names and paydays are out of his league.
rematch with gallen is his best money maker probably.

 

You reckon Gallen will entertain the rematch? Maybe go after SBW or the winner of Huni Goodall

 

Stevie Spark has a hard match this weekend.

The Thai is best know for getting blown out inside one against Josh Taylor as a seemingly unworthy mandatory. But he is a huge 140 pounder and I'm sure I read Taylor claim that despite only sharing the ring with him for less than 3 mins he was the strongest and one the hardest punching fighters he had faced.

This will be a big win for him if he can do it.

 

Hey mate… there’s plenty of options available. Eddie Hearn, Dean Lonergan, DiBella etc have already been in touch. I don’t see Gal giving him a rematch tbh. He’s actually going to spar Huni again later this week as he’s unscathed. Just have to see what pans out for him.

 

I'd be surprised if Khoder picks up the phone after seeing that.

 

Great news that Ipp , I always had a worry we'd all be seeing Lucas going on too long for his own good just for cash , great shout opening a business that doesn't involve the Big fella getting punched in the swede daily ...Nice one .

 

A lot of NSW glass to clean up after last night!

 

Justis Huni had his house shot up overnight.

 

I read that this morning. They seemed genuinely flummoxed as to why.

Though you take you life into your hands living in Logan.

The Empress of Aussie boxing Shotgun O'Connell finally back in the ring on the Liam Wilson card.

Plenty of tasty all Aussie matchups in that division.

 

* Eddie Hearn coming to Aust to announce Matchroom Aust debut card with headline fight Liam Paro vs Brock Jarvis on Gold Coast.
* Kambosos Jr vs Haney 60000 buys ( Tszyu vs Gaushu 70000 ) . GK was paid $ 4.8 M not the reports of $ 10 M . On these figures the rematch will be hard sell.
