Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Garside is a woke dick head he has no power and he will be KO’d when he steps up

 

No doubt Harry is comfortable in front of a camera.

Can't blame him for wanting to lift his profile.

But this ain't going to help his boxing career. He isn't good enough to do this thing half arsed.

 

Lewis as his trainer probably wasn't good anyway he is well past it. I un followed Harry on insta he was getting too annoying always wearing women's clothing and talking about mental health all the time. He has a good skillset but I think the lack of power is a big problem for him when stepping up the levels.

 

Yeah he might benefit more from a younger guy like Luke Meldon or Skinny Hussein.

 

GGG vacated the IBF strap. Not sure what that means for Zerafa.

Does he get a shot at him through the WBA route or does he fight the Brazilian fella for the vacant IBF?

 

Yeah I am a bit disappointed I was hoping to see GGG come to Australia and fight Zerafa

 

Tszyu Harrison will be at the Qudos Bank Arena Sydney

 

Skinny Hussein would be a good choice

 

Tszyu-Harrison undercard looks good on paper thus far.

Sam Goodman vs T.J Doheny. I've pretty much made my mind up I'm picking T.J.

Paulo Aukuso vs Yunieski Gonzalez..Very ambitious from No Limit and Paulo. YG might be a bit long in the tooth and shopworn but the old dog still got some fight in him.
I might load up on a draw because I've got this feeling this might end on an accidental head butt.

Nikita Tszyu vs Bo Belbin..don't know anything about the young fella from Tassie but must know his way around a ring to be 7-0.

 

Should be an interesting afternoon. I think Nikita wins but all of the other boys are matched tough. Will be a great day of Australian boxing. Being a Sunday afternoon show, presumably it will be televised live into the US. Great opportunity for all of our guys & for their opponents.

I'd say three out of three wins for our blokes would make it a great day. Two out of three wins would make it a good day. One out of three would make it a disappointing day. None out of three would make it a disastrous day for Australian boxing. All possibilities are in play.

Personally, I think we'll go three from three & take a decisive lead on The Boxing Scoreboard. We went 1-nil down on the weekend thanks to a Mexican-American referee who didn't know how to insert a mouthguard correctly. Don't they teach them that over there?

Check the rules before you do. They may not pay out on a draw if it's a 'technical draw' from a head clash.

 

If TJ can make weight alright I think he might stop the receding hairline in this one.
Gonzalez is past his best but it is a step up and good match making for Aukuso for some reason. Gonzalez reminds me a bit of Danny Santiago who was a big name in the US

 

I am confident that the Tszyu boys get it done both by KO. I actually think that Harrison is underestimating Tim and it won't take long for the Tszyu right hand to shatter some of Detroit's finest glass.

 

Them Mexican boys, whether they are Chicano or actually from Mexico, are putting in mouthguards before they even use pacifiers.

That ref knew what he was doing but he did it with all the subtlety of a hand grenade. He will get away with it and life will go on I'm afraid

 

This stuff happens all the time in boxing, you have to expect some sort of skullduggery from the promoters guy - Navarratte was still hurt and unsteady for at least 2 minutes of the next round, Wilson could have and should have taken the opportunity

 

Rohan Murdock v Issacc Hardman added to the Tszyu Harrison under card.
Good fight I got Murdock in this one
