Cameron vs Hoppa

Nah not working with ESM (the company that does the World Tour) anymore, it was a sweet job back in the day. Begging Kelly Slater to flick me some skanky slops and I would look after his old valiant chock-a-block full of his surfboards.

North Narra was a good place to work at but I had some creepy moments alone in that ****ing haunted life saving club, gives me the chills just thinking about it.

Yeah I was devastated at Stewarts injury and need to know if Hasler is gonna blood a new sensation at the back so Robertson can go to wing and Tony Williams can **** off back to parramatta. We wont do **** with that big lug standing out in the backs just filling up space, **** :twisted:

Anyhoo you should come over to the Titans mate, you are more than welcome

 

I wasn't pisssed off.
Hoppa was a disgrace.
He head butted and was warned, attempted to throw Cameron to the canvass more than once held and never looked interested.
Cameron came out jabbing clean in the second round to Hoppa and all Hoppa had was wrestling and dirty tacticts.
Did anyone here really want to see a heavywieght fight degenerate into a farce created by Hoppa and his bull**** tacticts.
The guy looked disinterested and virtually ran out of the ring when he realised the ref was seriuos.
Hoppa is over....Stinkfist has left the building!

Everyone here can bleat as much as they like about the refs decision and the same bleaters would be carrying on if Cameron was stopped because of a massive cut acrosss the eye from an intentional headbutt.....get serious, this is exactly where this fight was heading....**** Hoppa, Aussie boxing doesn't need fights like tonights.....a leopard never changes it's spots and tonights fight is an example....kudos to the ref for having the balls...

 

Agree with some of this...but still would have been better if a point was taken off first....Yes Hoppa was bad but Shane was wrestling as well and threw Hoppa twice...it was an ugly looking fight thats for sure

 

I don't disagree with anything you said, and I've never been big on Hoppa.
I just think that a point deduction or 2 should have been issued first.

I strongly agree with you about it being over for Hoppa, he had nothing to offer Cameron.
Had it gone on clean, Cameron would have killed him.

 

C'mon Ash, Cameron had to retaliate to a degree. If you got thrown around in the ring like that, what would you do?

 

When they came together the first time...Cameron ended up throwing Hoppa around and on the ground/ ropes...how can you say from the first touch it was all Hoppa?

If Hoppa threw Cameron down in the first clinch then I could understand...Hoppa grab shane seconds into the fight tried to use his weight and strength to push him and Shane turned hoppas push into a throw.

I'm not saying Hoppa was good...because it was bad...but you cant say Cameron had nothing to do with it :nono

Hoppa should have a point off first :deal

 

Hmm, I don't recall Cameron instigating it. Need to watch it again.

 

Hoppa started it in the first clinch but shane ended up throwing Hoppa to the ground at the end of the clinch

 

Cameron ain't a dirty fighter, it was probably because Hoppas fingers were getting close to Camerons you know what..... :hey

 

Yeah, deducting a point seems like it would be the logical option and proper practice.
But I dont think it would've made a difference to Hoppa to be honest - he was never going to win on points and he knew it. So taking a point off him is how much a a punishment really?
Looked to me like he was trying to maybe open a cut due to a head clash or out and out butt at times, if the plan was to get Cameron bleeding then try and land the big one, taking a point away isn't going to stop him.
Agree thats what should have happened, and it would've prolonged the fight, but all you would've seen was more of the same until it was stopped IMO.

 

Yeah, I want Robbo to stay out on the wing too, it's his natural position and it's a big ask to stand in for Stewart while he's injured. Hopefully, if Hoppa jnr gets a run, he proves to be up to the task, another baptism of fire, much like Stewart's own, and hopefully like Matty Seers' when he was drafted in to play for the Bears when Ivan Cleary injured himself in the pre-season :yep I agree about T-rex too, send him back to Parra

North Narra SLSC haunted? First I've heard of it, my son does nippers there, been there for a few functions and do's, haven't heard any stories about it? What do you know about it? PM me if you like.

 

Although a strict call from the Ref. he could see that Hoppa was using his head and we all know how Cameron has cut in previous fights.A point deduction would of been fair but the writing was on the wall.

Give it away Hoppa if that's your style.
Before the stoppage cameron looked to get low aswell to stop the possibility of a head clash
dissapointing may be but its a call to all boxers to watch there heads

 

Didn't see the fight but it sounds like Hoppa knew he had no chance against Cameron without fouling and the ref picked him up on it?

Hoppa's tactics are:

Bell rings for round 1 - charge at opponent try to get him against ropes. If oppoenent evades charge, grab opponent and try to manhandle him to the ropes. Once opponent is against ropes, swing for the stands and hope that at least one punch gets through and knocks opponent out. If this doesn't happen, start fouling.

 

that sums up the fight

 

Agree with all of this however the procss is warn for foul...then take off point...maybe another before DQ
