    Apparently that was also flash, the comer KD I mean.

    Ive never seen the Gonzales KD's but I was told by quite a few that he was lucky to get out of the round. Do you have that fight on tape?

    I can see you point but I dont think Geale has to other tools that those guys you mentioned have, he is quick and has a good skill set but overall he isnt exceptional, I mean on the world stage.
    I think he will continue to easily defeat any guys in oz and probably quite a few fringe contenders but Im not so sure about the guys on the higher end of the division.

    Id LOVE to be proven wrong though, its just I dont like to have false hope in guys I dont think have what it takes. So many good fighters fall by the wayside in boxing, its hard for me to get overexcited and buy into hype these days.

    I havent seen it soIm not going to argue. I know your affiliation with Gary.

    But whats you idea of flash chris?

    Was Dan in serious trouble? Or was he caught with a decent shot, got pretty much straight up and came back to stop Gary in the next round like it was described to me.

    i dont think geale was hurt bad but it was a good knock down.
    then the nextround geale hit garry with 3 nice shots he fell back to the ropes and was ready to continue but the ref jumped in and stopped it. he was no more hurt then geale was.

    Well clearly thats why the rematch was warranted.

    Thats why I was a little uneasy about the LoPorto stoppage.
    I know the ref has just got to make a decision with what he sees, without any bias. But the fact we know Gary can come back from stuff like that made me think what if only he was given a little more time to fight back.

    yeah thats right Garry is a tough sob. i can see why the ref stopped the fight against Frank i counted 15 unanswered shots. but yeah i dont think Garry was hurt maybe a little shocked that frank came out that way.
    while the Grange is a great gym i dont think it was the place for garry. he was never going to be a boxing just a fighter. he done well for a guy that only had 8 amature fights

    The first time I saw Gary was against Dale Hawke on the Delisle-Maniatas undercard.
    I was pretty impressed with the fact he had only had a short am career, as was mentioned by the commentator. He looked like a natural in there, he certainly looked like he had a lot more fights than stated. To become one the best fighters in oz @ 154-160, which is where we have a bit of talent, is an achievement.

    Fair enough, to be honest, i've only seen a snippet of the Gonzales fight which was shown between a round in either the Sonni fight or Oti fight, it showed the knockdown but not the remainder of the round. If what you've been told is true, then it obviously would not have been a flash..

    Jesus mate, I follow your point, but tough as Comer may be he was 2 or 3 more shots away from being decapitated :huh

    Wasnt a bad stoppage at all.

    Just Ive seen Gary wear some serious leather and come back strong from it. I guess I just wanted to see him win that more.
