Mr Hollywood has told Jamie Myer that he intends on putting Sherro to sleep! Personally I think Les can get the win if he boxes clever. He's certainly on a roll right now. What are people's opinions on this one? Anyone think Big Bob can turn back the clock against Leapai? That should be a ripper as well. The forum's Clarence Tillman faces Johnny Szigeti over 6.

Rubin Williams had plenty of ability. For whatever reason, he didn't put it all together and looks to have fallen right off the perch. Even in his loss to Andre Ward, he still looked good to me. Just didn't let his hands go enough.That version would be too much for Sherro. But Rubin has had 6 straight losses and looks to be a cooked fighter. Sherro getting him at the right time I think.
Would like to think so, but geez he was ordinary against Hoppa last time round! If that was a true indication of where he's at, and I hope it isn't, he could be shot! Bob hasn't won too often in the last few years either.
bob needs to walk away while he can still talk ok. i think alex will put him to sleep. bobs been a great aussie champ, he should be proud of what he did, but someone close to him should convince him enough is enough
I agree totally, no one will deny he's been a warrior - but, I have a feeling he could get seriously hurt in this fight.
Mirovics not going to be hurt by Leapai. Although inactivity is real, as well as illness in the days leading up the HDTVABCDEF-1 Bout, Big bob is no slouch.. He'll hold his own until the end. Mirovic KO 7.
Yeah mate he was however Echols has visa problems.....looks like he cant get through airport metal detectors without setting them off
I think Bob Vs Leapai will be a mauling brutal affair that will have a late stoppage, leapai KO11 Havent seen enough of williams latest form to really guess who will win that but it will be a barnburner for sure
By Tony Nobbs EASTSIDE CHATS TO RUBIN MR HOLLYWOOD WILLIAMS Former world title challenger Rubin "Mr Hollywod" Williams looks for a victory over WBA number 15 Les "Lock & Load" Sherrington on April 29 to spring himself back into world rankings after a dissapointing string of losses. The 33 year old Williams, who gave a good account of himself against then IBF super middleweight champion Jeff Lacy before being stopped in seven rounds in 2005, said his background in boxing will be one of his best assets going into the fight against the relatively untested Queenslander. Ive beeen doing this all my life. Theres nothing you can do that will surprise me said Williams (29-8-1, 16 kos) from Detroit, Michigan on Friday night. My jab and my right hand will also be important in this fight. Williams said he doesnt know much about switch hitting Sherrington, who he meets over twelve heats at the Gold Coast Convention Center, just down the road from Les Miami base, but had watched some of his fights on youtube. Williams had a 102-14 amateur record before turning professional in 2001, winning his first 19 before losing in a round to puncher Epifanio Mendoza at Joe Louis Arena in 03. He rates a 20007 draw against three time world title challenger Antwun Echols, who he replaces as Sherringtons opponent, as his toughest fight. His best win he says came over NABF light heavyweight titlist Kenny Bowen in 04. Rubin has also defeated world title challengers Richard Grant and Anthony Stephens and the cagey Tony Menefee. He is currently training with Henry Hill and has been sparring Ronald Hearns and Isiah Thomas. On the fight with Lacy then 18-0, 14 kos, he said It was easy. It was an early stoppage. I was winning the fight, I got over confident and started trading with him toe to toe. While he only has a draw and six defeats in his past seven, Williams hasnt exactly been mixing it with mugs. There arent any ham and eggers among his recent opposition. Do Allan Green, Andre Ward, Chris Henry or Cedric Agnew ring a bell? Combined they have a 126-8-2 record. His last three are 35-0. The 27 year old, 25-5, 16 kos Sherringtons past seven foes are 153-67-10 with Shannan Taylor (TKO 5) and William Gare (L 12) as the only notables. Every fight is a new fight said Williams. Agent Xavier Tolliver, who will accompant Wiliams added This will be an exciting fight for the crowd. We respect Sherrington but he has not fought the opponents Rubin has. Rubin is training hard and looking to causing an upset.
