Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

lol good luck with that. I am sure it is just a headline to try and drum up interest in the rematch that we know will be a one sided beating with a fresh Gallen fighting Hodges over 6x3min rounds.

 

Liam Wilson vs Archie Sharp possible for Tszyu-Carlo card.

Interesting fight. Neither guy probably as good as their ranking indicates.
Sharp looks ok when he works off the jab and plays it safe but he clowns around a bit to much and makes fights harder than they need to be.
Not a big puncher so he shouldn't threaten Liam's questionable whiskers.
Wilson in with a real chance here.

David Light vs Brandon Glanton being discussed.
Big opportunity for David, I tend to think he will struggle here.

 

To my surprise we have to pay for the Loma fight.

$29.95 aint so bad, I always pay because im dumb like that. But seeing I probably can't watch it all live ill give it a miss.

 

Tough break for Jason in Poland. He lost a wide decision to the veteran Pole.

Didn't catch the fight. Did anyone manage to?

The RBR done by @Boxingfan2 was well done.

Seemed to paint the picture JW did very well in the early rounds holding his own but was beat up later on and lost a clear decision.

 

There was a legal stream that Polish TV put on. I came in half-way through round 7 by which time it would seem Jason had already done his best work. I think there was also a bogus kd call earlier in the round that looked like a push on replay. No complaints with the Pole being given all the rounds in the second half of the fight. Jason looked like he was pushing you know what uphill from when I joined. He was competitive though & did well to see out 12. Getting 12 rounds under his belt against a world class opponent fighting on the opposite side of the world should improve him significantly as a professional fighter. He's not a particularly young man but is still 'fresh' in a professional sense. Get him two or three wins then put him back in at that level.

 

Didn't even realise Sonny Bill vs Hunt was next weekend.

Undercard looks pretty trash.

 

Absolute garbage I doubt that they will get many buys on Stan. I don't reckon ticket sales would be very good either.

 

With Taylor-Serrano seemingly heading to Ireland for a historic clash.

Would be great to see D.Hogan slot on to the card somewhere.

I'm sure Denis wouldn't ask an arm and a leg for the opportunity. Just for the experience of bowing out in front of a raucous home crowd.

 

Appalling show. Devoid of any modicum of appeal to a genuine boxing fan. 'Trash' & 'garbage' are accurate descriptions of it.

Channel Nein / Stan are basing the entirety of their boxing programming on the celebrity of $onny Bill. And of course paying all the available money to he & his opponent. Not one decent young bloke with genuine potential is getting a start on the show.

Disgraceful stuff from all concerned. Woeful. The highest ranked fighter on the show is $BW himself at #272 on boxrec.

Shows like this plunge Australian boxing back into the dark ages.

 

On a more positive note, we get Justis Huni v Kiki Toa Leutele on Friday night on 'free' Foxtel I think. Not PPV, although it is on other platforms.

Somewhat of a danger fight for Huni, I reckon. He's done the right thing going overseas for sparring but we don't know how much that has taken out of him when combined with the travel. Also he's second fight back from a spell which can prove tricky.

The Kiwi has a good chin, can punch & brings solid credentials, amateur & pro. The Kiwi's trainer has talked a big fight, but he's not fighting. Nevertheless, I think Huni needs to be very focused. And don't worry about stopping the other guy if a stoppage isn't there.

Jerome Pampellone v Faris Chavalier is a well-matched undercard fight. Clay Waterman is decent also. And let's not forget also appearing on the undercard is the legend himself - Ben Horn. Looking forward to it.

 

It would be great if SBW could find his nuts and fight Huni next

 

Isaac Peach claims it was Jerome Pamps who injured Jai Opetaia.

He has been doing a lot of talking. Admire his confidence but I think Huni is going to light up Leutele like a Kiki torch.

 

Would have been great to see the Tasman card on FOX on Saturday night.

Thats a damn good card aswell.

I thought maybe FOX sports would have thrown the gauntlet down to Stan and aired that card because I know which one I would be watching out of that and Hunt-Wiliams.

 

Breaking news on the Stifler's Mum thread!

Michael Zerafa to fight Danilo Creati on the Gal v Hodges II show, then face GGG in Australia possibly in March next year.

Good to have him back.

 

I saw the news about GGG in Australia I would be pumped to see that. So Zerafa has patched things up with No Limit then?
