    Ok guys how are you ? Thought I would look in and see how Aussie boxing is going and I can't say I'm surprised. Two complete unskilled BUMS headlining a PPV Hopoate - Gallen with the overrated Tszyu bum on the undercard. Nothing changes,Aussie boxing a complete joke. The FAB 4 have carried this sports for the last few decades, I don't know why we bother. We should relocate to the States or Europe where our boxing knowledge would be appreciated.

    Are there any fighters who are legitimately above bum/journeyman level ? Any at all ?

    I am well my friend how are you? As per usual you are correct the PPV bum show this Friday is a disgrace and a complete laughing stock for real fight fans. I see that bum Jeff Horn is desperately trying to stay relevant.

    Have the Geales kid and the Solibums kid retired or are they still expecting Anthony Mundine to pay them a wage ?

    so which Australian boxers can compete at world level (whether they can win a belt or not).
    my list of our only potentials:
    Moloney boys, Jason Moloney fought pretty well against Rodriguez in the bantamweight tourney. Andrew has a eliminator coming up so we will see if he is any good on the first step up.
    George Kambosas Jr - now being promoted by Lou Di Bella and getting good sparring overseas as well as with Pacquiao. Still need to see if he can handle a step up in competition.
    Bilal Akkawy - also basing himself overseas and getting good sparring, need to see if he can make the step up

    anyone else? I really think anyone with potential needs to get out of the domestic scene which is a joke.

    Agree with this the Australian boxers you mentioned are the only ones with a chance to compete at world level.

    Gallen vs. Hopoate (absent from the ring for nine years, mind) is somehow main event over Tszyu vs. Vassell, HOW?? :lol:

    ...and 70 AUD for the PPV???

    The fights have been run & won, Outlaw. I didn't get a chance to catch them myself.

    Some highlights are here: https://www.foxsports.com.au/

    Another win for Tim the Toolman to go to 12 and 0 with 10 kayos.

    It wasn't for the vacant Commonwealth title & nor should it have been b/c the other guy wasn't good enough.

    I don't think there's been much wrong with Tim's progress to date although we're all keen to see him matched tougher from now on.

    It looks like Anthony Mundine is going to continue his career & fight Michael Zerafa next up. Good fight for both of them. For Mundine to see if he has anything left & for Zerafa to collect a decent payday, raise his profile & build the case for other domestic fights of consequence down the track (Jeff Horn, for example).

    Tim Tszyu should be aiming for a showdown with the winner at year's end.

    In the meantime, I'd like to see Tszyu get a couple of decent 10-rounders under his belt. How about the American Ray Robinson who was out here last year to spar with Horn & Wale Omotoso who fought all of his early pro career out of Australia? Both have been inactive of late but are very well credentialed. Tszyu would learn a lot from fighting them.
