Good news for Serge & Oz boxing.

Hope you can get him matched-up now Charlie. That's your next challange.

watched a couple of hes figghts the other day,and was a bit impressed Like you I've been impressed by the guy - saw a couple of his fights live. Yannick wasn't the only one from the Cameroon boxing team to stay after the Comm Games - nearly all of them remained in Oz. Hopefully, at least some of th...

what are the true thoughts from you guys on the standard of aussie boxing as a whole? cheers m.t right now it is solid. There are a few performing on the world stage like Kat, Vic, superman, Kali (not often enough) etc. Vic is the real only genuine superstar at present. The local scene is generally...

An exclusive live cross to the most exciting boxing gym in Australia would seem appropriate to the show.....where's PerthKronk these days????

Potentially a great match-up, and unlikely to go the distance.

Tua at 49 + 3 +1 has only lost to very good opposition. Cameron record 22 + 1 is good, but I thought he struggled against Mirovic.

IMO the power & experience of Tua will see him through.

Saw Njock VS Kane McKay and I think Chas was losing the plot towards the end. He did get some points deducted in that one. But he almost turned his back a couple of times. Didn't see this fight, but 'quit on his stool' doesn't sound too flattering. Did he take much punishment? Any takers on the abo...

.....you fight your first 10 or so fights against chumps, but you increase the quality of your opposition and fight to YOUR SKILL LEVEL. And as stated above, boxing needs to rid itself of the stigma of a 0 loss column. To show MMA again, Randy Couture, one of the best ever has a 16-9 record. Wander...

Hard to disagree with most of what's been said in this thread. Having said that, I can also see the challanges/difficulties associated with putting on a good card at the right price (it is a business and the promoter is entitled to make a quit as well as the fighters). There certainly are a lot of A...

Charlie - Who have you got Tim Hunt and Tito matched up against on the Aussie L/H card mate?

...Maybe the only reason mundine was staging the fight in perth was to help set the stage for the green rematch.... That's my take on it too. Looks like Green's focus at present is getting boxing gloves on Barry Hall not himself. It was never going to be a friendly venue for Mundine, and why do it ...

Recently downloaded an old episode from the website (from late last year?). The interview with Porky Lovett was excellent, and the story about him and his brother pulling teeth with pliers for a dollar each from the tooth fairy....an absolute cracker.

Keep up the good work DSS!

Anthony 'The Man' Mundine is likely to be introduced to US audiences by a new ring name if plans for him to fight next year on a card promoted by boxing great Oscar De La Hoya come to fruition. "They've got a different name for me over here," Mundine told the Herald's Brad Walter after mee...

I think Ellis should stop fighting Thai;s that are past use by date and have lost there last 10 fights and face local talent Kanofski, Hunt, Delic, Shaw, Antonakos, Mc Mahon, Hately,Paulley, just to name a few. His wins over locals Swan, Savage and in particular Brian Fogarty were impressive. But y...

I read/heard an interview with him once that he said he puts on up to 20kg between fights, loses a bulk of it once he starts training and then forces the rest off. True, and when KT went into training prior to fights, his father often suffered with him through the weight loss - and trained pretty h...

He (Watt) certainly didn't adjust too well to boxing. but at kickboxing....YIKES..he was nasty. Some of the kos he produced in that sporting sphere where sickening. Watt wasn't too shabby at boxing either. Won a few titles. Had a 14-4 record, and didn't once trouble the judges - all his matches end...

Does anyone else think this fight is just about money? It'll be a good payday for both guys and is sure to draw interest from the general public and there's always the whole tasman rivalry thing, but Hoppa would have to land a very lucky punch to win this one, and I just can't see this as a step fo...

Hoppa may take on Cameron next Sydney Morning Herald - Daniel Lane October 5, 2008 FORMER rugby league bad boy John Hopoate is taking steps to fulfil his vow to take on all-comers as Australia's heavyweight champion by negotiating a bout with Kiwi sensation Shane Cameron.

According to BoxRec Mundine's next opponent is Rafael Sosa Pintos from Uruguay. Pintos has a 31-2 record, and holds the WBC Latino light middle weight crown.......whatever that title is?

I share your frustration with rankings! The fact that there are so few pros competing in each div in Oz tends to make things worse than might otherwise be. Particularly where a new fighter starts out with say 2 wins and 1 loss, and is all of a sudden ranked above guys who've been at it for years, an...

Casey's fight with Quagliotto is scheduled less than a month before the title fight with Micevic. If he goes ahead with it, where's it gonna leave Casey if he loses badly - worse still gets KOed?

Two tragic events in the Sixties were body blows to the sport of boxing. The most significant one was the loss of Benny Kid Paret in his welterweight title fight with Emile Griffith. This sad tragedy was remembered in the outstanding documentary "Ring of Fire - The Emile Griffith Story". ...

Hi Gerry, Now with the title being relinquished by Bell the next guy in line was Stenton. Porky(1) ineligible as he held regional titles at the time. Stenton(2), according to his trainer has retired, so McKay then takes his spot at Number (3). etc, etc. Hope this clears things up for you. Thanks fo...

OK it's not boxing... but it is interesting. It showed that Veniamen was tough...and showed a little of his "won't back down' attitude at the end as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzr9O5cFOro&feature=related Good find TOPPITY. Benji's opponent here, Benny Serrano, was no mug either. ...
