For those that didnt catch it on the weekend, Sylvester was detsroyed by teh undefeated Proksa..... the dude looked like he was out on a sunday stroll in demolishing the ex champ [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRtaCbWobyE[/ame]
Fark, first time i have seen the guy and loved every second. What a beautiful style of boxing, the switch hitting in the first round really gives me the impression that Proksa will be a champ, how long depends on the talent comming though.
Sylvester didn't get out of neutral. He just stood in front of him and got hit. Wonder how he'd go against Geales workrate.
The kids very good indeed.......... SS looked like a b grader, hope that's no indication of who he was when assessing Geales performance.
Stepping down from World Championship bouts to fighting for a Euro trash belt might have been a factor in SS training camp, mabey not?
The European belt is held in extremely high regard over there. I doubt that had anything to do with it.
Maybe Geale took it out of him there have been plenty never the sdame after a loss and this might be the case here. I think Geale fought very well in his last fight and showed he is a class fighter
I agree Ippy the European Belt is held in very high regard...probably the most competitive belt across all weight classes after the major 4 world title belts. The regular quality matchups you see with the EBU European Belt is much more often than some of these dodgy IBO & WBF type fake belts.
Euro trash BELT ? Lmao Stiff sometimes when you know nothing about a subject silence is your best friend mate , that so called Euro trash title is way above anything fought for in the southern hemisphere outside the four main trinkets as Kagsy quiet rightly said , come to think of it so is the Commonwealth title that you guys mainly ignore , it's ignored for a reason down under as well and that reason is FEAR , fear of losing padded records and getting denied undeserved title shots on back of those pan pacific titles .
And thats exactly why not many Australians make it in this sport (and therefore why boxing is almost dead in this country) Because we go for the regional in order to get get the world ranking, instead of going the route of the commonwealth title. Tbh the paba (who put on the worst regional match ups down here) are ruining careers
Until the CBC installs a ranking system where a mandatory position is enforced, you won't find many Aussies fighting for Commonwealth titles.
