i'll post a vote for my man Kane McKay out of Geelong. was best fight on two of mundines undercards and was heading for #3 when headclash stopped him with lovett, would have been a classic in my books. always fit, ready to fight, ducks no-one, a real warrior.

love the loyalty for the local guy. I like parochialism with regards to fight fans. I must say that I had Porky ahead on the cards, and that brings me to one of my fav's, I can't single out one -

Porky lovett - getting better all the time (looks like a serious fighter these days). Local fighter.
Kat - he is an excitment machine
Vic - Can we claim him? I hope he doesn't continue to look for the one punch win every fight though (can't believe I wrote that).
Cool Willie - best current prospect.

Others who I rate highly in the watchability stakes -
Mark de Mori in the heavies. Smallish for the division but can bang (and he posts here)
Daniel Geale - i reckon he has the ability to add more power to his game as he goes/ages.
The Rock - still to reach his best IMO

hey toppity, you know me man, go cats.
don't get me wrong mate, i had porky ahead as well, kane is notorious slow starter, needs to do something, and i know what!! i reckon if it went the distance it would have been a cracker. must agree with most of your form guide comments.
haven't seen de mori yet, sounds ok.( luv the big boys )
bit worried about geale and power though mate, more of a technique thing to me?? :box:

I did like Willie Kickett until he fought gairy st clair.. i beleive st clair won comfortably and see the scores?
Lenny Zappavigna would probably be my favourate aussie at the moment.. hes got skill, power and some decent hand speed and is just fun too watch but sometimes he goes abit too wild lol..

Katsidis too, hes a machine lol.. i love watching his fights there like wars and see with cassamayor katsidis really hurt him with that body shot then sent him through the ropes and when joel was getting up the ref stopped counting after he got too 8 and cassamayor was still getting up =/ and he also wasted a bit of time.. but still he came back an got the win :(

I always enjoyed watching Ben Cruze - although no longer fighting i believe, a good warrior.
Adam Wills & Porky are always good to watch.
