Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

I like it.


Hopefully May actually fights England this time. That fight was scheduled for the Nikita vs Brubaker event.

 

Great match up btw if it does go ahead. But I don't believe it will. If it does, England will roll him.

 

Does anybody know if Lucas Browne v Joe Parker is official for the Fury Nganou undercard?

 

Dunno mate. We all hear A is fighting B, etc, then it falls through.


That's boxing for ya.

 

I think Simon Kean is the latest rumour Middy.

Which I don't think is anymore appealing.

There is a very slim chance Lucas wins but he has a bit of a wildcard appeal about him. Not only one punch power but the old wilyness to find a way to deliver it.

Kean is painfully mediocre. Not only has a questionable chin but a bad a gastank, a padded record that makes it seem he hits harder than he actually does and is awfully slow.
Joe would light up that Canuck.

 

Interested to see how Goodman handles Miguel Flores.Kind of bizarre matchmaking, just to keep Sam busy and build his name.

 

Joe Goodall has signed with Lou DiBella. Lou did a grand job with Kambosos Jr and looks like Joe is in good hands.

 

AUSTRALIAN BOXING BLING

Bling is the thing. It's all about the bling. Not many countries with our population that are half a world away from the three major boxing markets in the world (the US, UK & Europe) can boast world champions in each of the heavy, middle, light & midget weight divisions. In fact, let's keep it real. There are none. We've got world class fighters, or potential world class fighters, in every weight division in the sport from top to bottom. Our Bling Box runneth over:

Sky Nicholson had a win but it was a bad night for her opponent Perez, whose 58 year old husband and trainer died during the fight.

 

ROFL!


I must admit I do agree with our commentators. They're all sh1thouse. Especially Damon.

 

Kambosos is good. Does it well.

 

Harry Garsides disappointing on the comms. Not very insightful on the boxing knowledge or even the scene, Seems to be there only to butter up Fenech.

 

Garside winner of recent Aust Elite Champ and Pacific Games Qualifying Event is firm fav for next qualifying event The Pacific Games in Nov.
Garside has stated no matter whatever the outcome in Paris he will not turn Pro again and also stated the recent domestic problems charges which he was cleared of cost him half a million in endorsements.

 

Absolute bull****. I like Garside. I actually think he's good when he speaks on live tv. Seems like a good bloke and I've mentioned it before but as soon as I saw he got arrested I knew it was 100 percent BS.

Jealousy. Toxic ****. A fraud trying to get back a good dude in his groove who's kicking ass. I hope Garside makes millions upon millions and sticks it right up em.

 

On another note, I watched Tszyu-Mendoza press from last week. I can't wait to have Mendoza down here in Australiem.
