Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Things have been a it quiet here Sal since the Aussie Forum got wound up.

Ippy still posts here from time to time. But I assume he is pretty busy at the moment with a few fighters he is associated with having fights this week and last week.
He will pop in to gloat about a QLD Origin win you can be sure of that.

 

Gallen demanding 6x3mins for Hodges rematch Hodges team refusing saying it is a health and safety issue that he can't fight 3min rounds LOL

 

Hodges should be glad he is getting another shot at a good pay day at all.

 

Agreed I hope Gallen stands strong and doesn't budge on the 3min rounds. Hodges knows if it is 3min rounds he won't make it past the second.

 

Whats the picks for the weekend's fights lads??

 

Huni KO
SBW UD
The closer it gets I am thinking Zurdo will upset Bivol

 

I'm picking Bivol but it won't be an upset in my eyes if Zurdo can pip him. He matches well with Dimitry.

I also think Connor Wallace will reverse his loss to Leti Leti.

Bangin Ben Horn fighting aswell.

 

I have to admit I was wrong about Ben Horn I thought he was some glass jawed no hoper but he showed a good chin and a lot of heart in his fight with Nikita. A lot more heart than No Mas Dryden.

 

Last time i looked boxing itself is a health and safety issue! You get tired, you get hit! You dont want to risk getting hit? Dont fight!

 

Some hard experience has done him wonders.
Still looks a bit uncoordinated but fights a lot smarter and obviously keeps himself in shape if he only took that fight a few weeks notice.

His opponent this weekend was a pretty decorated amateur.

 

I dont know how anyone gets past Bivols jab. P4P its the best in boxing. He shut down Canelo...the smaller fighter... with it. Absolutely schooled him with it! Its fast, has authority, doubles it up, and throws hooks and combinations off it.

Bivol has tight defence, good stamina, timing... FFS, the bloke is good. Beterbiev might tag him. But thats the only fighter i see out there with a hope.

 

The Legend John Wayne Parr had one of top comments on a Instagram video of Gal and Hodges trading insults.

Something to the effect of "The hardest part of fighting 2mins rounds is fighting in a dress"

 

No Fenech tonight to carry on like a parrot about the lack of Huni power the whole fight, then praise him after the fight non stop of how skilled he is lol

 

Ben Horn cops some flack on here. Not much skill but the kid has a set the size of a buffalo.

 

The Hunter!!!

No quit in Benjamin. Another good fight from him.

Crazy workrate from Somerville.
