Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Do you think so? Nyika has fought nobody who remotely prepares him for this.

 

I think Aussie Dave has more talent in his little finger than most of the rest of the division put together. He has experience sparring with Jai in the past & will know what he's in for.

 

I have the feeling Opetaia will win it very comfortably.

 

Opetaia will ruin Kiwi Dave

 

Team Opetaia wouldn't have had much to choose from on 3 weeks notice.

Nyika is IBF #10, holds some IBF Intercontinental belt and some of those above Nyika in the IBF rankings couldn't run away fast enough when faced with fighting Opetaia. A couple of them were even his mandatory challengers. So good on Nyika for taking it on short notice and I hope he can at least make a contest of it.

What a great all Aussie showdown!!

 

In any case, Nyika is a tougher opponent than Cinkara, and Opetaia has a tough fight ahead of him, thankfully this fight has been arranged, Nyika has no intention of waiting and is ready to go for anything or nothing...

 

lol

 

Jai - $1.14
Nyika - $6.25

Sportsbet odds

 

Nyika is outrageously big for a Cruiser. I have no idea how he makes 200lbs.

 

A buck wider for every inch taller?

 

Tough for Mckean, while it wouldn't of changed the result, that first knock down was a shot to back of head, clearly he wasn't going to recover. Hopefully he was paid well for it being semi main.
Some good fights domestically for him

Hopefully DAZN can add more value into Fox Sports as a product for the consumers. It's been slowly crumbling away for years.

At least for us fight fans it seems like a great deal on paper. Top Rank also signed to DAZN in the past few days. Surely more access to Boxing on the horizon.
