    Ok...I know this is a few days old but finally got the time to write what I want to say..

    The undercard was atrocious!couldn't they have gotten some better and well known Australian fighters...apart from lenny zappa who was awesome and that ***** Mohamed Elomar..couldn't they have gotten some well known fighters on the Australian scene?and get some better opposition instead of those poor ****ing philipino imports??

    What the hell was with the venue?it looked like it was held in some ****ing school gym!wat the hell?even in this small 'arena' the seats were half empty

    And the ring card girls!!i dont mean to b rude but hey at a fight u want to see those ring card girls in a bikini holding the number...they might aswell have been wearing jump suits...was it cause it was promoted by Nasser?

    And haumono...after two rounds gased as ****...and as a main event fight it was only 8rounds??y not ten??and he almost got ko'd by that bum couser and couldnt put him away even though he was begging to be knocked out...ino all about the cold thing but hey he's a professional sportsmen n these things happen in the game

    I know wat some of u are gonna think...well ur an idiot for buying it blah blah blah...well i didnt my mate did haha so he's the idiot haha

    anyone that thinks haumono is going to put more effort into his boxing career than he did his league career has rocks in his head.

    haumonos personality dictates he doesnt stick to things. he is lazy, uncommitted, and unreliable. there is no way on gods earth that haumono can change to the degree he needs to, to become a threat to any sort of international title.

    despite his talent, i have my doubts he has the substance to knuckle down and win a national title...

    I agree but I think he can win the Aussie title and be a top pacific rim HW. but he will not make the top 20

    The heavyweight division is fairly sparse at the moment; in a way it is good we have the footy players involved - can you imagine getting the same kind of press coverage on FSN this morning about any other heavyweight match-up that we got about Big Bob and Hoppa?

    He was, alas spent some time inside for an assault that was sickening and hard to defend him against.
    Still, as a boxer did pretty well for himself and was really sad to hear of his early death.

    i just watched the fight, downloaded it

    It's shameful that this was on PPV, should have been free on fox sports. To charge for a low level fight like that and a 8 rounder at that is disgraceful

    I hope the PPV buys were really bad

    Is there a website or anything that shows what the ppv buys are ? I'd like to see how cards like Taylor vs Pavlik and Marquez vs Pacquiao etc sell in Australia.
