Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Feel sorry for Edwards. He has been awesome this year.

Teddy has been pretty quiet but looked decent against you guys. And of course he is Freddy's mate.
Gotta say that was the best game of the round. I don't usually cheer on the Dragons but I was out of my seat when they crossed for that last try.

 

Bomber kid took 2 attempts to make weight. Nikita absolutely ripped into him.

Aussie Dave Nyika on the PPV telecast.

 

And I hope Bomber absolutely rips into Nikita tomorrow night

 

The Kaboose brutally kayos this Bommber fellow, I think. He's not fast enough & doesn't punch hard enough to derail him.

Sparring in the US is great but the Kaboose has had the Russian national champ out here sparring with him so he's not giving away anything there.

 

Don't see anything particularly special about Bommber. Though Nikita isn't all that exceptional either.

Not sure the wide odds are justified but I guess the market dictates that.

 

How do you see the main event going mate?

 

If I was having a bet tonight (which I'm not) I would throw the speculator on Django rather than anyone else. He's decent enough, knows how to persevere & packs enough pop that he could hurt a fading Parker. I like Parker to win though. He's got to be the front-runner to face Tyson Fury if the latter elects to make a title defence out here. Parker has everything to gain by doing a job on him so I think he will. Hopefully Django gives a good account of himself. I think he's earned this fight & is a good choice of opponent for Joseph Parker.

 

I think tonight will be the first card in a minute that I don't bother with mainly due to it being PPV for 2 mismatches.
Fury McKean would be an alright spectacle for Aussie boxing Fury will likely get a highlight reel KO which will be good as long as he fights Usyk in December.

 

Interesting to see Demsey's name being bandied around as a potential opponent.

 

Benny Horn is surely worth the price of the PPV.

 

Yeah that might sway me but I think I might watch the new episodes of Succession and Barry instead.

 

To be fair on the Hunter. He really has given a good service to the sport the last couple of years. Always gives his best.
Even if he fights like Elaine trying to dance.

 

You can tell he is well schooled by the great Sensei Glenn Rushton

 

Drunken Master style from Cobra Kai Glenn Rushton.

 

McKean is yet to fight anyone approaching B level in the division and it might just come back to haunt him by not landing the Fury fight.

Next to no interest about tonight’s fights to be honest. I can’t imagine it doing great numbers at all. Lumped a couple of bucks on Bommber on points at $23.
