De Mori to battle Calloway this Saturday in Australia on GFL

Yet more 'evidence'.

Shannan Briggs toys with Calloway. Knocking him down 3 times inside the first round, and thankfully the rules saving him from a further battering >>>

I have no less of an idea than you.
YT clips of his fights are not evidence he is damaged.

Can we determine he's past his best from a video clip? Sure.
Can we determine he's at a point where one more fight is potentially his death bed, or anything sinister? No.

It's nothing but conjecture on your part, motivated by your contempt for MDM.

 

What I predict will happen in this fight.
Shortly after Calloways first visit to canvas the ref will stop fight.
Too dangerous to let it go on.

 

they would be lucky to get 50 people to pay the 10 bucks wouldn't they?

i support oz boxing, but i just won't pay for things like this.

 

Do you think there are any damaged fighters out there at all who should be retired, but continue to fight on?

Any at all?

 

I really have no idea, I don't concern myself too much with that kind of thing.

I guess if they pass all the requirements to fight, then yes, that has to be good enough for me.

I'm not a doctor, and I play no official part in boxing.
Who am I to say who can and can't fight?

All of our opinions can only be based on what we see on video clips or at ringside.


Tell me, do you actually have any solid evidence to support your opinion that Calloway shouldn't fight again? Or is it purely based on YT clips?

 

Calloways only two victories in the last four years have been against Clinton Boldridge which he won by TKO 5.
Bolbridge got KO,d in the 1st round in his next 3 fights.
The other win was against Travis Fulton which he won on a MD.
before Fulton fought Calloway he had lost his previous 9 fights.
Fulton also had lost 22 fights by KO.
You might not be smarter Sox but you will be better informed.

 

Again, more rubbery evidence.

You guys claim I have no idea, yet all the evidence you have is Boxrec and YT clips.

So I gather neither of you have anything solid of this damage you speak of?

 

:roll:Go on the knitting forum.:roll:

 

I wasn't aware of one, but you seem to know about it.

 

No idea, will be interested to see the numbers after the show. I would have thought 100 would be a 'win'. Mark has 10,000 odd twitter followers mostly international so who knows, will see.

 

Calloway is done. Unlike many others at similar points he wont go down easy unless battered into defeat - and has taken far too many recent floggings to be even considered a challenge IMO.

I am disappointed in Mark. I could easily be a fan but do not understand not taking care of business at home and letting Aussies see him fight actual challenges.

Guess that's why I like Muay Thai so much - fighters and fans don't **** themselves over the proposition of a loss.

 

That you have no idea or care is plainly obvious.

Rob Calloway is 42 years old and simply an aging journeymen looking for another paycheck. In the states that's exactly what he's referred to as, a 'paycheck fighter'.

Calloway has won 2 of his last 8 fights. One of those was against a guy who was called in as a last minute replacement after his scheduled opponent was a no-show, and the other against a guy who'd lost his previous 10 fights.

Calloway has been floored continually by most of his recent opponents. One of whom flattened Calloway in all 7 rounds of their fight, and although he managed to go the distance with Chauncey Welliver in his last fight, he didn't win a single bloody round.

Is Calloway shot? The only intelligent conclusion that can be drawn at is yes.

My fingers are crossed for Rob Calloway's welfare tonight, even if you 'don't concern yourself too much with that kind of thing'.

 

It's abundantly clear who's been making it up as they go along. 'SUDDENLY' atsch

I expressed concern for Rob Calloway from the moment this fight was first announced.

Keep making it up as you go along atsch

See if you can possibly make yourself look even sillier

 

As I already said, no less of an idea than yourself.
Contrary to what you like to believe, you don't have any other knowledge of the fighters than I do. I can see Boxrec and YT too you know.

Yep, we all have them Bob Mirovic and Colin Wilson come to mind.
You didn't jump up and down about Colin fighting Lucas Browne last month.

Col only has 2 wins in his last 13 fights.
It happens.

Ok, so he's only shot now, rather than damaged. Another backpedal.

I think every man and his dog know he's past his best, but again, I'm not sure why this matters considering he's fighting MDM, somebody which you only have contempt for.

On one hand we have aging Calloway who is allegedly shot, and on the other we have MDM who is a hack who only fights bums and will never get anywhere, according to you.

Reality is, we have an aging journeyman who is past his best, and an up and coming young fella who is yet to reach his peak.
Both have had their ups and downs over the last few years.

Your hatred for MDM is clouding your judgement.

My fingers are crossed for the welfare of every fighter who steps into the ring.
