John Hopoate vs. Cliff Couser - Fri 20 March Manly Warr Leauges Club

I think my comments.......... oops i mean Barry Beaves comments on telegraph summed it up

 

meh...Hoppa is a strong aggro dude lacking boxing skills..

I can't see him doing particularly well against true contenders, and I very much doubt that his team asked any of the top Aussie HVYs to step in to replace his original opponent.

 

Hoppa runs from Chauncy Welliver, Welliver has been wanting to fight him for a long time now.

Also if you look at Hoppas resume Couser is probably the 2nd best if not the best opponent Hoppa has faced to date............I think right now Couser VS Mirovic would be 50/50 maybe slightly leaning towards Mirovic

 

anyone post some results later, thanks also the amateur results cheers

 

Hoppa won. Couser wouldn't come out for the 4th. Couser didn't throw many punches and Hoppa pretty much unleashed on him for 3 rounds.

Peter Kariuki won by KO with a nice right hand early in the 1st

 

Ok thanks mate.

Gotta wake up in 3 hrs to go to work but cant sleep

 

Did couser look off.....or did Hoppa look good?

I know we wont see Hoppa VS Sol but maybe Hoppa VS Col maybe worth a shot.....might give a better picture of the aust HW division......or Hoppa vs Kurby

 

Did anyone record this fight?

 

Couser probably had nothing in the tank after arriving on the morning of the fight

 

Mate, Hoppa can only fight whats in front of him, but Couser put nothing up. He basically laid against the ropes covering up for the whole time. Hoppa was able to just load up his punches, and I mean really load up. Maybe it was jet-lag.

 

Why would Couser just come here the day of the fight, i mean serously.

 

Cause that what Cliffy does...he is a true journeyman.

 

He took the fight on a weeks notice so I guess he could have had a few things to sort out before he could fly over. I don't know how he could expect to be competitive though

 

Yep... turning up on the day of the fight is typical of a journey man also. I guess Anthony Van Niekerk's plane will be landing in the minutes prior to his bout with 'dangerous' Danny Hasbeen too. Greens making himself look journeyman-ish, by taking this fight.

 

Ok thanks, i didnt know he only took this on a weeks notice.
