Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Teddy can't pass the ball, he might be on the way out, Freddy will stick with him for the series as he is the captain, but he might want to retire after this series..... Turbo shouldn't get picked until he shows he is back in form at club level... Cleary was awful but i thought To'o, Luai and Crititon were all good..... the fox was average.

 

Hynes pilots probably the best attacking team in the comp but Cronulla isn't as good defensively and Hynes particularly isn't a great defender.

If they don't pick him at 6 there is probably no point picking him at all.

Martin impressed me. Showed some really Origin dog in him.

The problem that has plagued NSW for a while now is that you have 13 individually brilliant players who get pushed into positions they don't usually play and they can't function as a team like the Maroons do.

 

Imagine being Hynes training all week, 50 interviews, weights, ball work. Probably listening to Blocker and Spud Carroll come in and do inspirational stories, warm up, mental focusing listen to Freddy waffle on only to get on for 10mins out of position and touch the ball a couple time. FMD at least he got the match fee.

 

Just silly;

Wow that’s just money hungry.

 

Yeah, I know right

 

Just read that Justis Huni is out of his international debut due to an injury.

"Justis Huni’s American debut is off after the Aussie heavyweight snapped an ankle ligament in sparring at the weekend. Huni was scheduled to fly out tomorrow "

 

Poor kid is to injury prone.

 

I didn't like the choice of opponent for Justis Huni. A 20 and 1 guy with a high kayo percentage. Didn't like the previously mooted choice of opponent either. Also didn't like that he was due to fly out tomorrow morning less than two weeks before the fight. You need the full two weeks over there to acclimatize properly & to get some sparring in. Did they even have sparring lined up over there? His whole preparation has been done out here. That's not fatal given there are quite a few talented big men up there in Queensland to spar with, but some of the other things mentioned give me cause for concern. He's out injured again now & he was coming in off an injury. Get him two or three wins against respectable but easier opponents & then crank it. Guys like Kamil Sokolowski, Jonathan Rice & Jerry Forrest. Win against them & then he's ready for the likes of Andrew Tabiti & Sergey Kuzmin. Or how about Demsey McKean & Joseph Parker out here? Kiwi down!

 

Tabiti is a career cruiserweight to be fair and was probably chosen for American interest. I wonder if Huni will recover in time for Matchroom's show in Australia in September.

 

No Limit exclusive contract with Fox is really a poor fit . The Clay Waterman vs unbeaten Kenmon Evans is now the first fight of tripleheader live on Showtime Fri night USA time . Weapon has improved leap in bounds since he moved back down from CW to LHW.

 

Great news for all my fellow Aussies
Adrien Broner v Bill Hutchinson is available to watch this Saturday on Fite TV for $40
Oh Yeah! I am pumped great long weekend of boxing with Taylor Lopez on Sunday

 

"No Limit exclusive contract with Fox is really a poor fit "
Yep and many people have been saying this ever since the agreement was announced.
Did read that its a 50-fight, 3yr deal and equates to approx 16-17 shows per year.

Including June 18, No Limit have done 4 shows in 6 months
