Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Mateo Tapia now a free agent.

Sounds like he has been very frustrated by out of the ring issues keeping him from the ring.

 

Was he previously with Matchroom?

 

He was with MTK and then Probellum.

Don't he ever had a deal with Matchroom but did fight on a card.

 

Yeah ok, i do remember him fighting Mayweather of the MR Brisbane card.

 

Thought that might have opened some doors for him but obviously been frustrating for the lad.

 

@Manu Vatuvei good to see you out toko.

Hope you stay on the straight and narrow.

 

Remember folks that Big Blob Mirovic v John Hopoate was a PPV.

The boxing world was anticipating that super fight so they figured that it should be on ppv for the viewers.

 

Joel Camo's pro debut with Dale Berries headlining should have been.

 

Trying to think if Manboobs Mason ever topped a PPV card in Oz..... I remember the double page telegraph spread where Johnny Lewis said he could be a world champ.... lol

 

That's equivalent to stating that Dales Berries fights like Felix Sturm.

These idiots make fools of themselves with the rubbish they spew.

I also remember Lewis stating that Wes Patten was the fastest man on earth over 40 meters.

These people should do a stand up comedy show. They would have plenty of material with all the LOL's they have come up with over the years.

 

Liam Paro has pulled out against Regis Prograis. The plan is also for Stevie Spark to return in September and headline in Australia. Skye Nicholson could potentially fight for a World Title on that card.

So Arnold runs scared from Paro, Liam bags a fight with Prograis, then gets injured and now Arnold the front runner to replace him.

What a “DramaShow”.

 

Would also be great to see Huni v McKean on that card too

 

They could have made it a lot better by matching Aussie Dave Nyika up with someone decent instead of an opponent he has already bounced & by matching Jayde Mitchell with either Rohan Murdock or Mateo Tapia (or the Headsplitter). A 37 yo returning 'A-side' Super Middle just doesn't cut it.

 

Good. Hopefully we start seeing him on the telly regularly b/c he's probably the best Super Middle in the country. Let's hope he gets the chance to prove it. Him versus The Headsplitter, Jayde Mitchell & Rohan Murdock would all be worth seeing. Beat those three & he's not far off being ready for a world title shot.
