no keep busy fights planned for him? it could be a very long time before he gets a shot at the title holder so he would have to have a couple of relatively meaningless fights until then u would think.
How do you think you would go? Is there something you have seen in sparring that you believe you could exploit? In all honesty it seems like a very big step up. Kali is a genuine world class fighter, who has had some very good wins in recent times. Seems like a big risk, for perhaps not such a big reward in return.
we have the same promoter and it motivates me, that is all, i sparred him and many world class fighters and i want to fight them.
:admin:admin Hope the fight happens then....get it made already. U wouldnt get a huge payday tho Mark....as long as thats ok with you.
kegsy, the point is kali is very respected in international boxing and it is a fight that could catapult me into the spotlight where the big money is, there is no money in boxing unless you are at the top as we know, which is why i have to work , my sparring in usa has shown what i thought, the guys at the top are not superhuman,
Fair enough. Good luck to you then if it comes off, would be a great match up, one of the best to be made in the local scene IMO. Credit for wanting to take the risk. How is the training going in the states BTW? Looking cut up in the profile pic. Are the facilities a lot better? Have you been improving a lot since you got there, and getting better sparring? (this is MSTR btw, had to change username)
mstr, im back in perth, training in usa was nothing special but the sparring was great, i trained with guys like cory spinks, mike mollo ,ray austin and others, most are quite lazy, mollo is a very hard trainer but he is the exception, there is just so much more opportunity and money for boxing in usa. My body fat in the pic was 10% was for the kooser fight, waste of time fight cause original opponent pulled out but better than nothing still got payed the same. The training camp was great sparring top heavyweight 3 times a week and i improved out of sight and so did my confidence in my ability. Ipswich Camacho was very friendly a great fighter but an even better entertainer, i enjoyed watching his ring entrances back in the day
I enjoyed watching Chavez pound the **** out of him. Great fighter none the less, he just gave me the shits.
Interesting read, good to hear the sparring went well then:good I'm not surprised that guys like Ray Austin are quite lazy, it shows in the way they perform.
Just the amount of BS that came out of his mouth every time he was interviewed. In a lot of boring fights. Rosario turned him from the Macho Man to the Not So Macho at all... Showed guts against Chavez though. His corner wanted to pull him out and he refused, despite getting his arse thoroughly spanked.
It would be nice to see Kali get another meaningful fight and earn a nice check. He's a decent fighter and a good guy to boot. I really gained a lot of respect for him after the Brewster fight. He should have gotten the nod that night but the judges shafted him. He had every right to argue the decision but all he could offer up was praise and respect for Lamon. Very classy.
