The 44 y/o Aussie banger got the Super 8 wins...... Beating a 10-2 Oz journeyman, a 3-2 Aussie Can, and a completely shot Michael Sprott. Meehan showed the one punch power is still there, KDing the young Ritani Coe in the 1st and KOing Sprott. Should Meehan take his 200K earnings and retire, or should he take a cash out fight with the likes of Potvetkin, Fury, or Haye. He'd defo be a solid name on a contenders resume.....Walkers KO of him in 2012 got him a payday with Adamek. I think a guy like Haye, coming back in Oct?????, or maybe Lucas Browne, coming off a less than impressive win over Bohoeli could use Meehan's name in rebuilding/launching their careers, while at the same time, giving the 44 yo former contender a decent retirement check....maybe 100K. Hell, that's a decent house in most parts of the world.:good
he is too old to face someone like haye. haye just too quick for him. I mean haye is likely too quick for any heavyweight out there. would be good to see him vs Fury or Browne would be good. he could ko either of them, even at this stage. it was a ripper punch that first did the damage to Sprott. can Fury take shots like that? probably not.
Really a shame the WBA screwed him out of his title shot against Valuev the biggest ducker of all time some years ago, at this point though he should take his winnings, health and run....not worth risking it in a cash out
It really just depends on what he values more at this point in his career...legacy or money. He's not hurting financially, so he might be happy just ending his career with a W.
'Completely shot' Michael Sprott? There are a lot of fighters who are far more shot than Sprott, who is still a legit (chinny) journeyman. Kali Meehan won the first fight by robbery against Hunter Sam. It would be a waste of time for Browne and Fury, who would both be able to knock out Meehan early on.
robbery? lol I don't think so. sam ran for 2 minutes and 40 sec of each round. how do u expect to win a 3 round fight doing that?
Second and third round were clearly for Sam. Meehan won a close first round. http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=502814&page=14 Were we all wrong?
Well, does it make a fact when you say it wasn't a robbery. Watch the fight again and you'll see I'm right.
Sam was way too fast for Kali Meehan, the old man couldn't hit him cleanly in the last two rounds while Sam landed some huge bombs which stunned Meehan several times.
Im amazied hes still fighting. ,,,im amazed most of the competitors in that tournament are still fighting to be honest.
Haye went what 9 rounds with a shot John Ruiz and you are saying he is to good for Meehan? :roflatsch
