Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

"Did they close the mezzanine level or are all those tickets actually gone?"
I think maybe the upper most level is closed as noticed tickets still available in the second most upper level still available...as are many others.

Maybe a bad night all round for No Limit.

 

I was wondering what he’s doing on the card… One off? Bit of deal with no limit? Friend of Tszyu’s or Tszyu’s camp or even sparring Tim???????? (I doubt he’d be sparring Tim but I got no iead)

For what its worth I like this card in general, esp for here… Undercard fights wont mean alot to international viewers but I think its good local “meaningful” fights….
I like TJ vs Goodman, Hardman vs Murdoch, paulo Auk??? I been watching pre olympics thx to the posts few years back asian olympic qualifiers with him n huni…
I thought then he may be able to go a fair way in pro’s, I didnt realise they would be this agressive in moving him up fast in pro’s..
Nikita good value, That Dargin girl goes to war… So happy Mahoney got a decent meiningful fight, Im hoping he gets alot decent local fights next 18 odd months, I like his opponent to, meaningful over here…
Tszyu/Harrison Im excited about.. Alot of good questions n answers once bell sounds.
… I change my mind 4 diff times a day on this one, I did same with Kambosis vs Lopez….
That height n jab of Harrison worries me, Tim can get marked up???
One thing with Tim, I always think he’s 4 fights short on experience dating back to Horn and he always comes thru…
Expecting fight may even be in close alot, both going for body, kinda trying to smother each other, mixed with usual ring movement…
I hate comparing, he and his father completly different fighters, feeling this may be Tims “Hector Lopez” type test…
One thing we all know down under tho…
“NEVER WRITE OFF A TSZYU”

 

Murdock to me seems like a guy who rises to the occasion despite his poor resume he did pretty well in the Parker fight away from home against a well schooled fighter. I think him having natural size advantage in this fight will come into play also his boxing skills are much better than Hardman's who is more of a fighter than a boxer. Hardman is tough and has good power so I would never count Mr Inbetween out but I do think that the Zerafa fight showed his level. I think Hardman is only the betting favorite because he is more well known than Murdock.

 

Good to hear. I think the Qudos Bank Arena will need solid few days of vacuuming after this card having Queensland and Detroit glass flying all over the place. I am hearing that Dyson has been made an official sponsor as well.

 

I think that Goodman and his receding hairline are in big trouble if TJ is well prepared. Goodman fights like an amatuer still and pretty much has no power.

Some men have done great things even with the hairline creeping back.

 

10am AEST for prelims

12pm AEST for main card

We're thinking around 3pm AEST for Tszyu-Harrison ring entrances.

1 x 6 rounder and 3 x 10 rounder precede the main event

 

Sunday right?????

 

Yeah mate.

 

Da!

 

Fight day gents!!

What's everyone's picks??

 

Tim late KO after some shaky moments early.

 

Very excited for this one. It might be an interim WBO belt, but it will be a significant validation of Tim's whole boxing career if he gets the result. I think he will but the world class sparring Tony Harrison has had with Charles Conwell really concerns me. Conwell appears to be of similar dimensions to Tim & is very aggressive. Tim appears to have spent a lot of time sparring bigger, stronger guys so it's nice to know he's not going to be out-muscled on the day. But what about out-skilled or out-sped? I'm not sure to what extent those aspects have been addressed in his sparring. I guess we'll find out at about 3pm today. Hoping for Tim by late rounds kayo. Credit to Tony Harrison for his efforts in promoting the show. You get the impression he's more than comfortable in the spotlight & has made the fight an event.
