Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

That was James Singh.

 

Ange's Spurs got the job done.

 

Liam Paro v Jonathan Navarro and Liam Wilson v Ayrton Gimenez
June 25th in Cairns. No Limit Boxing.

 

Callum Peters & Kirra Ruston on the undercard - facing separate opponents, I think. Not each other. Two of the best up & coming talents in the country.

 

James Singh was an Indian Fijian. Jaipai Singh, Teremoana's next opponent, is a full-blown Apache. I've done some digging & he actually appears to have some decent credentials despite his amateur record not showing on Boxrec. He was the national amateur Indian Super Heavy champ at the beginning of last year before he got busted for PEDs. That should mean he's coming in fully prepared & ready to go. There are a few countries out there that have very underrated boxing programs in the sense that they don't win lots of medals at big tournaments but do turn out teams that are competitive in almost every weight division from top to bottom including in women's divisions. Brazil is an example of that. India is another. The sheer populations of those countries mean there's an abundance of talent to choose from. The bloke who's coming out here kayoed a Commonwealth games silver medalist to win his spot on the Indian national team & is still only a young bloke so let's see what he's got. Hoping to see Teremoana shoot him between the eyes with a big arrow in the first.

 

I wonder if No Limit are planning a potential Paro v Wilson fight. I know Wilson is at 135 but he is a big lad and for the right money would probably fight Paro at 140.

 

That No Limit double header is quality I want to see from our exclusive boxing provider.

 

And the best thing is that is not a ppv show

 

Former AFL footballer Adam Selwood was due to run a half marathon for charity this weekend and a lot of money had been pledged for good causes.

Unfortunately, Selwood is no longer with us, but Michael Zerafa has stepped in and volunteered to run the half marathon in Selwood's place. Now few of us have much time for Zerafa but credit where it is due, this is a very decent gesture.

 

On paper NSW should wash QLD 3-0 in this series.

 

2 home games for the Canetoads make it a tough ask.

 

We all know it never ends in a clean sweep haha.

 

You're absolutely spot on. I knew many online would have no idea, see Indian and probably bag it, without having a clue about Singh. Don't get me wrong, I expect Teremoana to still take care of business but his team know he's not a straight forward walk in the park.

 

Game 2 is in Perth. Game 3, NSW.

 

Like I said 2 home games for the canetoads.
