Down Under Boxing Info

Haven't seen it & don't intend watching.

Let's hope Parker puts up a decent showing.

 

It was like watching a Warthog get slaughtered brutal

 

It was like a car crash couldn't stop watching.. So unprepared he really had no respect for Whyte nor any professionalism to try to work him out..

Whyte on the other had was professional and did his homework...

Parker is talking a good game too but his team seem far more professional and Parker seems to be doing the work..

 

It's a tough sport.

I had high hopes for Big Daddy after Ortiz performed well against Wilder coming in off a long stretch of inactivity, apparently clean & despite his age.

It obviously wasn't to be though.

I've been looking forward to Parker against Joshua for a while now so we'll see how that goes.

Parker's form from his last couple of starts isn't good but at least he's been active.

Activity provides a platform for improved performance as Dillian Whyte apparently showed.

 

Well back to the "Great Aussie Heavyweight Hope" drawing board...

Maybe Demsey McKean?? Seems to be going through the usual beat a local bum run pretty well??

 

Yeah its unbelieveable how bad our heavyweights have been when they get these big fights it was sad to see what happened to Browne but he did himself no favours in the condition he was in and seemed happy to get the pay.

Hopefully his purse was big enough that Browne could retire as he seems a good guy and I don't want to see him taking further beatings like that which will continue to happen if he comes in the ring in such poor condition.

At his age and with how poorly he performed I don't see him getting anymore fights with top contenders and he will probably go back to fighting local fighters hoping to get more big fights.

Hope I am wrong but from what I've seen from him I don't hold alot of hope for Mckean tbh or any of the current top guys, Paul Gallen being ranked 4th best heavyweight says it all but there is some ok fights that could be made amongst the guys that are short of the world level.

 

That will probs happen now although neither will make any coin from it..

Least Leapai was made to look silly by an ATG as opposed to making a "around top 10" fighter look like the next Ali..

 

I don't hold high hopes for McKean.
The youngin who just medaled at the worlds seems to have a kernel of a ring IQ that might grow into something one day.
But plenty if tests to pass first.

To be honest I'm surprised Brownes ever got this far. Looked far more suited to collecting money off shady characters but he had a pretty good go of it.

This issue is obviously a massive one for us . Still there's all sorts of different ways to address it. We just need to sit down and have a discussion about the possibilities. "
