    2009.. Pretty spectacular for the local game to say the least. The local circuit being entertained with many notable bouts that led to affray in the ring, triumph unforseeable and the expectations of world class action to come. Kats, Vic and Green picked up belts O/S... Locally, Jackson Asiku picked up his own IBO crown as did Mundine, only to shock the local punters in announcing a bout at 154 Lbs..

    What slice of 2009 was your own fav??? Luds and co.. please dont turn this thread into a Mundine is better than Green thread.

    I have to say that the Talepeau vs Oganov fight was awesome (although the decision was not). I remember walking in just hoping Junior could walk out at the end of 5 rounds. A good step up for a local fighter.

    I'm sure there are many other good ones but that one is more recent so sticks in my mind :)

    Many great Aussie fights this year. Geale v Mundine is one that springs to mind, the Bolling v Yannick fight the other day was great. Earlier in the year the Dib v Browne Jr fight was awsome, alot of action and "Bad Blood" in that one. And also, even though it wasn't a great fight, Green's destruction of Jones Jr was pretty goddam special and hopefully has put Australia back on the map. Good year for Aussie boxing!

    Yes big Col's KO win over Hoppa was most pleasing to watch. Geale dishing it to Mandy was a great fight to watch as well.

    All of the above, and particular the shock of seeing RJJ stopped so quickly - my mate ducked out of the pub for only minutes and missed the whole fight! Had to ring him and say don't bother coming back!

    Didn't get to see Yannick in this one. Bolling must be a smart kid to have knocked him off. Did Bolling being a southpaw worry Serge? Perhaps Serge not getting enough regular fights was a factor?

    What can you tell us Hater?

    I'd have to say that I gizzed a little watching Willie Tomlinson on the DG v RJJ undercard.
    His performance for me was a stand out this year against what was supposed to be far superior talent with a far more experienced pro record.

    In my humble opinion this kid brought an excitement to the ring which I haven't seen in a long time from a young fighter taking it to an international talent.

    If this kid stays fit 2010 will be a year to watch him grow into a real threat on the world scene.

    I wish him all the best for Xmas.
