Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Leapai Jnr will be back in the NRL in 2025 playing for the Broncos lol

 

I think Alex Leapai Jr is making his pro debut on the card over in Adelaide on April 3rd.
The card is going to feature a few ex-AFL guys, as its the week of "Gather Round over there.
Joel Pavildies will also take on Joel Camerili

 

Just on Heavyweights ... I take it Willis Meehan is out of the picture for good?

 

and read a few days ago in the Courier Mail (yeah....i know) that TPJ is fighting again in March
but cant see his name on any card over on boxrec....yet

 

Pav on a good run. Previous to his last 3 I don't know about the Biggs fight but from what I saw he gave Benny Hussain a good run for his money aswell.

Camo very experienced but seems semi retired now he is running the Tszyu academy.

 

118kg at 16yo…
Hope he ends up with a bit of height if he sticks with boxing, they’ll be over 7 foot soon…
They doing good things at NTG at moment, few of boys from Inala area done pretty well there month or so ago…
I got sent video of Doveton vic few months back, alot of kids with alot of tallent coming thru…
Was great to hear Hammers voice at NTG night on that video in commentary…

 

This is just a question of something thats been in my head month or so, not trying to start anything thats not there??
What are the chances of Huni vs Opetaia for a heavyweight belt on aussie soil in future??
Or even seperate belts, as in 2 Aussie heavyweight beltholders at once?? Being they may be too friendly/amateur teammates to fight each other…
I can see Huni doing very very well if his hands hold together once this current crop of monsters at heavy retire (monsters as in height wise) Doesnt appear to be too many younger names coming thru at moment…

Bit of a pity Huni wont be at these olympics, I thought it was criminal of promoter to put him in with Gallon for 10rds at that age that close to last olympics… He was bever gonna lose a rd against a guy who does have a head like cement n money wise, prob would have gotten more $ from olympic commitee if he had medelled??
Wish both of them the best anyway…
Just a thought that popped into my head..

Didnt realise Camo was running Tszyu academy, all the best to him…
I remember watching all his n Zerafas early fights in Maniatis’s tv show years back…
Think his brother supplies alot of active fighters with cars also as a footnote…

 

And they are both with the same manager (Tasman Fighters) and promoter (Matchroom)

 

Kambosos v Loma is on Main Event. You’ll see some No Limit branding and they’re getting a slice of the pie but it’s not their show. GK must’ve thought it was still worth his while.

 

Ace Boxing are going to have regular shows on channel 7 starting soon. Hearing No Limit have got a card on Fox Sports on the same date. See what happens I guess.

 

"Hearing No Limit have got a card on Fox Sports on the same date."
Of course, NL would do something like that.

 

The Bwoncos will claim him as exempt under the salary cap for bringing him across from another sport.

 

Where's Charlo hiding? I thought she'd show her face by now.

 

Charlo's latest excuse is that he banged his elbow on a desk and now his arm moves involuntary.
