Top shot Mark.. Even though the bout lasted 1min you were looking sharp with your movement and easily absorbing Tutaki's shots. You seemed dissapointed the bout ended so early?? Quess u will be looking for another bout shortly??
One thing I meant to ask you Mark, at the start of the bout the ref called you into the middle of the ring for the pre fight instructions and you stayed in your corner for awhile. Was this a tactic or you were still busy or you didn't hear the ref?
Did I dreamed this or did Tautaki tried to mimic a charging bull at one point ? And I'll join my voice to all those saying : Great right hand.
mark wats all that bobbing and weaving?? your the dominator mate just straight at em lol only kidding great work man, good shot... who is next is the question??
thanks for the comliments guys, we all know tutkai is only a journeyman but to take him out like i did was good for my confidence, i was a bit dissapointed he didnt get up, i think after he went down he had a think about it and decided, no thanks. i will be fighting march 1 in perth, trying to finalise opponent now, i am just aiming to stay busy while waiting for something to be finalised in usa. Leon, my trainer was still putting vaseline on my face thats why i didnt go to the centre of the ring straight away
Mark De Mori V Alex Leapai II is the fight we want to see Bobby - I get ten emails a week asking for it! Brian Tutaki gets 7.0 for the dive
Definetly no dive.:bart But as Bobby mentioned he didnt want to get up more then actually be unable to. Bobby what you think of yourself vs Leapai?? Also wanted to add that i liked your composure and movement throughout the first(and only:yep )minute of the bout.It was my first time watching you in action and as they say first impressions last and without sounding like a total nob you impressed me. You look like a serious fighter with some ring smarts, rather then the lacklustre heavyweight sluggers who only have a plan A that our country provides. Keep up the goodwork..Hopefully you have a fox televised fight soon.
I agree to an extent. No doubt Tutaki was hurt, but he basically decided not to continue in fear of wat may come in the future. Leapai KO's De Mori in a rematch, & i doubt De Mori would risk takin it.
In my opinion there's not much point for either guy to fight each other at the moment. Their careers to some extent are heading in the same direction. Mark is signed with the Don and Alex now has his OPBF strap. I'd much rather see the return further down the line, when both guys are the finished article.
Stay busy Bobby. Get heaps of sparing done mate, and IMO you need to stop sparing Dawson and crack into some big guys. Maybe hard to find big guys but they gotta be out there somewhere.
