Australian Boxing/SM Memorial thread

Rose mentioned Jarvis was injured. As that's the fight he preferred for Nikita next.

 

Bigtime. At the end of round 4 Fenech would have told Tim that he can't see, then told the ref and got the draw. They would have gone home with the belt. I said exactly the same thing at the time.

The decision to fight on after the 4th round was the first big mistake. There was no point taking the risk.

Boxing is a business. No one is going to care how much Tim bled in that fight when his career is over.

 

Tim would have been wearing the most luxurious of watches if he was with Jeff.

 

The last thing any fighter needs is a brave corner.

How many ring deaths do we need before cornermen, who are entrusted with the well-being of their fighter, get the message?

In the case of Tszyu-Fundora 1, it wasn't just the corner who were culpable, it is was the referee, Harvey Dock and the ringside doctor as well. Incompetents, all of them and action should have and would have been taken if it was any other sport than boxing.

 

Sakio Bika has called out Jake Paul yet again but although at 46, Sakio probably qualifies as a Paul opponent, he wouldn't even be on Paul's radar.

 

Congratulations Choc on Aust first worldbareknucklefighting card at Logan.

And there were quite a few boxers at the event..Conor Wallace, Teremona, Ben K, Desley Robinson

 

Curtis Scott looked about as clinical as a bone saw.

Benny Horn..what else can be said about the man. He is a legend and true battler.

 

Yep both looked good in the bare knuckle. Hopefully Curtis Scott can get some more boxing matches I reckon he would be in the mix on the Aussie heavyweight scene.

 

Can't get behind bare knuckle.

Good on Mundine I suppose, trying something new. There's a market for it ...

 

As reported over on CODE Sports;

"The Australian boxing superstar made the shock decision to sack manager Glen Jennings, trainer Igor Goloubev and cutman Mark Gambin from his team. And has now unveiled a new crew featuring Darcy Ellis, Mike Altamura, and Hall of Famer Jeff Fenech."

 

Can hardly say I'm shocked. In hindsight, it is a pity he didn't make the changes earlier.

 

Just watched a Youtube interview where Nikita is asked about Tim replacing his team. Two interesting things came out of the interview :

1/ Nikita said he was retaining the old team. That he and they were stronger than ever and that he would remain with them for his entire career.

2/ Zerafa walked past as Nikita was being interviewed and asked Nikita 'when are you going to sign the contract?' Nikita responded with 'I thought I already had.'

 

Mazoudier-Kapeen worth having an early cup of Joe for, mates?

 

Yeah it should be a bit of fun to be honest.
