i was supposed to fight on the holy valuev undercard but had hand problems that i did before kooser fight sparring piter cronje, seem to be ok now back into training
To me it is a risk but for a big reward, kali has fought Rahman, brewster, etc. To add his name on mark's record would be great. Agree 100% Good luck mate
Kali is WBA no.1 contender, waiting for Valuev and management to stop dodging him and give his the shot at the title. He has worked himself into position for it but Valuev went and fought Holyfield instead.
Interesting Bobby.. For the sake of activity though mate are you considering much domestically at all or is it too slim pickings??
C'mon bobby, with all due respect there's nothing to gain from another loss. Your better of taking on the likes of briggsy, leapia, hoppa, sol before stepping in with kali. Honestly how would you rate your chances against the fore mentioned & what are your strenghts that you would use against them in order to get the win. On current form you would have to be the underdog in all bouts. Whats your thoughts.
The problem is Mark has signed with King before he has done anything in the sport and fact of the matter is it is now very hard for him to go anywhere. Even kings world champs are lucky to get 2 fights a year so for an up and comer that needs to be fighting 5 times a year, two sign with him is career death. You can only train and spar for so long without starting to go backwards because every fight is like your first one.
mark who was the best fighter you have sparred in all honesty out of the heavyweights? personally we havent seen much to judge weather you can beat kali or not, buts its a good sign that your willing to fight him... kali has decent skills for a big guy and when in rythm is quite a good puncher that will test your chin out.. whats your weight sitting at?
? Digger Wybounre is my ? and who has he fought ? Mahone Gone! Alex, Col, Hoppa, Briggs,Kirby,Bob,Heta,thats right no one !
if kali meehan fought wlad klitschko what chance would he have of winning. although he would be a big underdog i think his hight, reach and ko power would make it much harder for wlad than he has had against some of his other opponents in recent times. if kali was to use his jab well and be sure to throw his fair share of punches he would have to have some chance surely. if he were to have a proper preparation it would be interesting to see how he would fair against wlad.
It seems even at WBA#1 Kali is always considered last to fight for the belt. He should ask the WBA to appoint an eliminator between him and Bidenko for the mandatory position, I think he is entitled to, that way they can't ignore him.
Well this discussion all points to one thing , 3 fighters mentioned, Briggs, Kali and Bobby all singed with Don King aka career suicide.
Briggs hasn't signed with King and Kali's first fight with King was for a world title so he had already done something in the sport:good
Err Briggs was with King and was widely known other than Adamek he couldn't get meaningful fights approved by DKP, thats the thing they sign with King and get a big fight first up, after that they have zero control on what they want to do.
Read the whole thread buddy Paul Briggs that signed with King has retired and now trains the Briggs that is mentioned in this thread, Nathan Briggs:good
