Willie Kickett

i couldnt watch the fights last night, however im dl green vs drews now i know it was very ****n boring but still it is aussie history a new champ and i would love to say later on in life ive seen it....
however i was somewhat preseantly suprised willie could beat browne so early in his career, its one fight i cant find anywere to dl can someone help us out if they recorded it on dvd or something??
hes an awesome talent that is for sure....

 

Yeah totally agree.
Very high standard fight was Kickett vs Browne.

Bring on Willy Kickett vs Lenny Zappa i say.:deal

 

he is great with a big future, MSTR was right to give him a big rap.

What weight should he fight at? He seams to fight over over the place. After the fight he said he is fighting on the um, Chris John undercard, i think.

Great prospect, he would smash Lenni Zap.....sorry Huricn.

 

I think he is best suited at Super Feather or Lightweight.
It very much depends if he comes in weight drained at 130.
If so then i would say 135.

 

Kickett excited the hell outa me , his footwork and timing for a guy with 7 pro fights is ridiculous , he was basically dictating the whole fight with browne , he rested when he wanted , and gassed it up when he wanted and fighting a guy thats fought Chris john and Chi for world titles.

 

Kickett next has a fight on the Vic Darchinyan undercard in Philipines.
After that they want Gairy St Clair in mid year by the sounds.
St Clair is a massive step up for Kickett IMO.
I would preferably would like them to until the end 2008 before facing the likes of St Clair.

 

did anyone record the kickett fight?? I would love to see it!

 

Put it this way.
If Kickett keeps on winning at this rate, & beats Gairy St Clair well, which aint a given.
Then he could be ready for a title shot by early 2009.
I just hope Craig & the boys dont push him too far too soon.

 

I think 135 is his weight and there are some very good fighters at that weight in OZ, but what was said last night worried me a bit, saying they won't StClair next year. Look the kid is 20 years old and that mite rushing him.

 

He would beat St Clair now, Gairy is done as a world class fighter. He has no power and just runs away bobbing and moving, i think Kickett would catch him in the end.

 

Kickett is a gifted talent, a real natural but two things i'd like to see him "improve on" would be to carry his left hand a little higher and to change gears more during a fight.

Taking in to account his inexperience, he has done a great job so far and has proved to be too good for his level of comp. He was easily outboxing Brown but seemed to fight a little one paced. He did the same with Dulog. I'd just like to see him step it up a notch or two when he is in control of a fight.

Technically, he is very fast and a natural athlete with good instincts but his weakness could be his susceptibility to an overhand right. Tommy caugh him a few times with it and he has been hit with rights before. a heavier puncher could be a problem...and they don't seem to be sitting on this kid with plans to fight St.Clair next year. His left hand carry is too low at times.

Not being a knock on the guy, but since he is going to be stepping it up next year, I think he has a few things to work on.

Just my 2c worth.
