Bob VS Hoppa

i think Hoppa will stop Big Bob inside 6 rounds.

 

bob stops hoppa in 7..

 

I think you'd have to go back as far as Bugner v Cervi to find an Australian Heavyweight fight that will capture the public's imagination as much as this one.

 

Here's some pics of Bob going through the paces with Swifty Gregory up in Townsville....

Heard a recorded interview with Big Bob about the Hoppa bout and what's in the pipeline for him.

Just as well he fights better than he communicates!

Was an absolute burble about ....how I'm gunna smash him and do this and do that....and smash all these ex rugby boys one by one, etc, etc. Barely able to comprehend what he was saying!

But I hope he does smash 'em too!

 

Im going against the grain on this one and saying Hoppa in 6.

 

I agree.I think hoppa is the more explosive fighter and we all know Bobs isnt the hardest to hit.

Hoppa by round 4 tko.

I also heard that Hoppa is going to unleash his old finishing move from his Tiger days on Fenech after the he ko's Big Bob.

 

That will be messy if he leaves his gloves on.

 

I think it's a genuine 50/50.

If Big Bob survives the first 4rds then he wins, if not it's a Hoppa KO.
