Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

At GGG's age I can't blame him for taking fights like this. I think it would be cool to see even a 40 year old GGG come to Australia eventually he still has more than enough to give our man Zerafa a beating.

 

T. Tszyu said one of his goals would be go up to middle and challenge GGG whilst he is still fighting.

He is slowing down and isn't quite as formidable but still has enough to wreck just about anyone at 154-160.

 

Paul Fleming vs Billel Dib, werent they former team mates?

 

They ain't friendly now thats for sure prijatel.

 

Apparently Jackson Murray has retired from boxing. Frustrated from not being able to get fights. I understand dude needs to make a living. I am surprised that Fenech hasn't been able to do more for him. It's a shame because he could have been in some exciting domestic fights.

 

If Mark Hunt is serious Sonny Bill Williams is getting KTFO. 48 but he's still a real fighter. SBW went life and death with 3-20 Waikato Falefehi - according to Boxrec he went down in the 2nd. Hopefully Hunt KO's this clown once and for all.

 

Thats a bit sad.

I thought with him joining Hrgovic in camp some doors might be opening for him.

He wasn't a red hot prospect but he is a likable character with decent power in both hands.

He is probably at a stage of his career where he hasn't quite built himself up enough to be considered as a viable option for guys like Huni or Terzievski but he can't snag the fights that would get him to that level.

 

Yeah and I reckon being such a giant deters low level guys from fighting him.

 

Haha saw bits of the press conference there is definately some bad blood, Fleming will be too good for Dib

 

Showtime has all the tools to do the job.

But Dib might be able to get inside his head and drag him into a brawl that gives away his advantages.

 

Paul Fleming Baby!!!!! Good to see him back...Dib is in for a beating.

 

Lucas Browne fighting December 10th in Brisbane no opponent announced yet

 

Not nice seeing young blokes with talent have to give it away b/c they can't get fights. I noticed that Teremoana, another very talented young heavyweight, hasn't been matched up on @ipswich express' show on 5 November.

If the television dollars aren't there to buy opponents, it makes things very hard. Even half decent heavies would take a look at Teremoana & realise that if they fight him, they're getting knocked out. Blokes would want to get paid a premium for doing that.

I'm sure Teremoana would be up for a fight with Jackson Murray. It would be up to tv to pay them for it though or it's hardly worth their while.

 

Fleming is too smart for Dib IMO. I reckon Fleming wide UD or late stoppage.
