The Boxrec report said he was "floored" in the second and eighth rounds.

Did the referee call them slips?

I think Kickett should reconsider jumping the gun again. I score the fight with st clair by a round. Kickett was never hurt and he himself inflicted damage to Gairy,but he went missing in rounds when the fight was busy.Kickett a great prospect should fight people with his experience, and by this i mean with winning records . A couple of potential fights Mohamad Elomar @ super Featherweight,Alan Luxford @ lightweight, thier are of course better matchups in Zappavigna and Dib, but thier was something in this fight that said Kickett is not ready yet. Fighting Zappa and Dib now might ruin someone' perfect 0 with a poor decision. Gairy won but am glad Kickett got the nod.

I don't think keeping his 0 is the most important thing to Willie. I think he is going ok. We tend to forget that superman is a previous world champ, and still a world class fighter (although perhaps waning). In general I think Gairy is superior competition to Luxford and Elomar and even Zappa and Dib. I would love to see willie take on any that you mentioned. Luxford and Zappa may be good tests because of their size. I want to see Kickett continue to test himself.

by the way, what is Skinny Hussein doing these days?

I'm not sure how you can be happy the wrong man was gifted a decision... just because he is a prospect doesn't mean we should condone bad decisions...

The report is mistaken, there were no knockdowns or slips.

I do agree with what your saying, but i'm a kickett fan as much as your a superman fan, wasn't convinced Kickett done enough, since I've watched the fight again i'm not convinced now that superman did either.

I totally agree, I didnt have a problem with the Kickett- Stclair fight i thought Kickett did enough to win. Dib on the other hand was lucky to win 4-5 round. He got knocked down and lost by at least 3 rounds in my eyes.

The Worst Decision I have seen in Aus Boxing

Post by Ultimateboxa2 »

I was watching Saint Clair vs Corrales on youtube. And it brought back memories of Kickett vs Saint Clair.

So who won?

I had Saint Clair up by 2-3 rounds. I thought while Kickett was obviously more powerful. Saint Clair landed nearly double the amount of accurate shots!
