I fully agree. N'dou raved on about hoppa and Les Mason.Les Mason aint a footy player for one,his the BROTHER of a well known one.And Hoppa is actually vastly improving as seen by avenging a previous defeat.Also seems to be in very good fighting shape everytime he steps foot in the ring.Dont get me wrong Hoppa is definetly no world beater but he has just asmuch right as any to pursue boxing as a profession.If he wants to get punched in the head for a living then goodluck to him.Takes alot of nuts to get in the ring as most of us that have ever actually fought before know. The golden finger has totally surprised me.And this is coming from a bloke that has always referred to John as Hoppa Hopeless throughout his footy career.lol.. I actually learnt how to throw em at age 12 when my dad had me doing some off season footy training at Mt Druitt pcyc to keep busy and stay in shape/stay out of trouble lol..Aint that uncommon to see footy players around the local pcyc etc during off season hitting the bag or doing some light sparring/pad work.Some would actually make good boxers but the cash aint as appealing to even a decent A grade player. I can understand people getting the shits with sideshow's like Manboobs Mason but really the footy fellas(Mouth Mundine,Big Sol and Hoppa ) have actually shown they are serious about the sport(sol the least convincing through his gaps between bouts) by improving fight by fight and staying in good shape from bout to bout. What else can you ask for?? P.S. Bag Manboobs Mason asmuch as you want,hes pretty much a bum and even though im kind of discrediting N dou in this post i dont agree with Mason saying anything disrespectful back to a former world champ.And also cant believe he got 25grand for his debut(its true).
they never showed the ndou fight last night. did show the malinaggi fight. malinaggi was very very lucky to get the win. both landed the same punches but malinaggi jab softly to the body whereas n/g walked him down throwing power shots and hurt malinaggi.
