I agree he should be at LH but he's not interested in starving himself to make weight now that he's 38 and will only fight another 3-4 times at the most. As you said you can easily see the difference in size in the photos and i would expect Danny to come in about 4kgs under the limit. Hopefully if he hooks up a big fight in November i'd expect him to put on a little bit more mass and be around 89kg.
This Robinson guy makes Green look tiny. Did someone say boxing in Australia is dying? There are 3 title fights coming up. Green v Tarver in July. Then the Mundine & Geale fights in August.
I went to 1 training that was a media event, I live in Sydney so am having a good time moved from perth a few years ago
Robinson and green sparring was great to watch. it wasn't a classic spar similar to a fight it was training with green trying a few fifferent things with each fighter. concentrating on different elements each round and putting them together more towrds the end. gee there were some people there though
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lfI6DgoH2I[/ame] Dannyboy should have got a better sparring partner, Toney toyed with this guy for a few rounds before stopping him.
you think Robinson has a similar style to Tarver ? :roll: did you watch the Toney vs Robinson fight or highlights, far from Tarver style imo
Mimick= Big, Black and Southpaw, it will be a stretch to go much further but he is very good at those 3
Toney was landing all night, counter punching with the right hand and landing it on MANY occasions, Robinson went down in round 5 from the counter right, he was soaking it up well until that point and round 7 but you can only take so many right hands before they will catch up with you. Ced, Troy Ross is southpaw, big and black but brings to much heat to the kitchen for Danny, he could party every night and still take it upto Danny, most likely much more expensive to get out here for sparring than Robinson.
For sparring purposes Robinson does just fine...different to Tarver yeah sure but boil down to some of his more basic elements you can see Jase there. The generic rangy, stand up southpaw thing he can do...which Tarver pretty much looked like in his last couple of fights anyway.
Robinson held his own against Wlod for the wbc title in his last fight despite being beaten. He also dropped O'neil Bell so he's got a bit of pop as well.
Even james toney after beating robinson gave him credit sayin he was a good fighter and could be something. And right before toney kos him robinson stuns him which woke up the beast. Best to let lying dogs sleep or something like that.
