Leapai WKO2 Azzaoui
Was this a bit of a surprise?
Re: Leapai WKO2 Azzaoui
Quite.
Although im a big leapai fan i didnt think he would catch Azzaoui, Thought he would be too quick on foot and get away from him all night.
I guess he made the mistake of starting slow against a big puncher and copped it.
Best of luck to both fighters, this will do wonders for leapai's credit, but unfortunately I cant see it doing much for Azzaoui.
If leapai can get into gear i could see him getting a top 10 ranking within the next 5 fights
Just my $2 worth

Re: Leapai WKO2 Azzaoui
didn't see the fight, but the only thing i noticed is that this is only Azzaoui's second fight at Heavy. It might be all the difference.
Re: Leapai WKO2 Azzaoui
I thought it was at crusierweight.
Re: Leapai WKO2 Azzaoui
nup heavy. Azzaoui weighed in at 211Sapphire wrote:I thought it was at crusierweight.
Re: Leapai WKO2 Azzaoui
He's really a 90kg cruiser, but weighed heavier 'cos of the heavy opponents in his last 2 bouts.
I think $$$ did the thinking last night. IMO, he shouldn't have taken the fight

Re: Leapai WKO2 Azzaoui
Glad he did, well done Leapai, i guess this means if leapai can account for next opponent on Dicarlo' card, he might get a shot at the winner of Wilson v Briggs for the OPBF title again.
Re: Leapai WKO2 Azzaoui
Imo he could beat wilson if he applied constant pressure early and didnt allow wilson to jab away from him.
Wilson isn't known for his love of a hard training session and anyone who has ever caught him with a decent body shot has had him in trouble. Leapai might work on that if he gets another shot.

Re: Leapai WKO2 Azzaoui
agreed, If you hit to the body constantly against Wilson, he does slow up. Leapai looking good.Bushboy wrote:Imo he could beat wilson if he applied constant pressure early and didnt allow wilson to jab away from him.

they don't have weeks of training for the tents, just a couple of quick beers. :P no disrespect to big Col either, he's a man who walks his own path.
Re: Leapai WKO2 Azzaoui
Nah no disrespect at all im actually a big fan of Colin Wilson, the fact that he has won an australian title a couple of times and defended it succesfully against decent opposition and also fighting some world class talent, on nothing more than natural ability Well Thats True Blue 
Re: Leapai WKO2 Azzaoui
Wilson lost to Mirovic on multiple occasions. Enough said.

Yes its easy to judge a fighter from a lounge chair, isnt it
