Anybody see the fights on Saturday night? Jamie Myer (promoter) returned to the ring in a heavyweight bout, looking very sharp. Won fairly convincingly. Les Sherrington in the main fight was expected to win easily over a Pakistani unknown. The fight went the full 12 rounds, as the paki had a jaw made of granite.
yeah les hit that kid with everything including the kitchen sink he was tough, He picked up the PABA title at 168, he has another fight on 19th of next month.
Yeah I went, good night, there was a great cruiser weight fight just before main event, a see sawing war , both blokes blocked everything with there head, ended up a draw.
Yeah I do, it was the most entertaining fight of the night, the boys may of not put on the most scientific displays of boxing but jesus they showed some heart! You reckon Jamie looked sharp? hmm.. ok
I didnt get to see much of that fight in full.. i was doing a bit on the nite. From what I saw of Jamie.. Im not sure about sharp but overall he looked pretty good. He seemed to get his fitness back pretty well. Heavys would be a bit of a challenge considering he fought far lower. He had some good little tricks too.. some nice angles & the triple jab all of that sort of stuff. JB is a pretty basic opponent, though I thought he held his own pretty well also. gav was the right guy for Jamie to be with. Not for boxing training as he's only pretty green, but he has a top notch fitness gym for that side of things.
he had a health scare in his family & it kinda hit him he needed to get back into shape since he blew out. over some drinks he was told he should fight again. .. it eventuated.
I had a look at our promoters today in Australia and most of them have fought before i think it would be hard for a boxer to respect a promoter that has never fought.
