Hoppa must rematch Edwards, but Edwards should have a couple of fights beforehand.

did he ever end up in jail?

did he ever end up in jail?

he was on here a while ago talking about that shit, cant remember what he said though lol

[Bushboy]

Nah the guv didnt go to jail, he would be a hit in the boxing ring, seeing him some of his kickboxing fights hes had some fairly brutal punch KO's

He cleaned Hoppa up pretty quickly, he would be a good addition to the heavyweight scene.

[Beltane]

Getting Hoppa back into the ring against Ben may be a big ask as Hoppa is mooted to going over the the good ole USA to poke around the scene there.

Here is a report from the local sausage wrapper about his last fight, which was a mismatch and his plans for the future:

Edwards is in a 4 rounder in Canberra on April 26. There is nothing on his opponent, but an Australian champion would not be in a 4 round fight in the backblocks.

This is Ben Edwards.

I have never agreed to fight on a Canberra Boxing show, it got breifly mentioned to me and i said i would get back to them after my last fight this past weekend. Im not fighting on that show.

I would love another crack at Hoppa and would punch holes through him anytime. Search my name on youtube.

good to see a good quality copy come up on youtube...but daaaayum that was a small ring!!!

[adnileb]

No disrespect Ben but I think Hoppa will have a different game plan to counter your one round knock out if he was to jump in again with you which I doubt will ever happen. It was a good tko though!...

[toppity]

the heavy weight scene has changed in the last 12 months.

good fighters moving along nicely..Demori, Leapai, Hoppa, Kirby and others like Cronje adding extra. it's fun to watch.

so ben, u knock out the Australian heavyweight champ (obviously he wasn't then) but then dont fight again? how come?

[GUVNER]

Dont fight again?? Im a kickboxer not a boxer and ive fought on foxtel 3times since Hoppa, i might look at boxing down the track but for me my focus is on kickboxing at the moment and getting to the k1.

I made my MMA debut and KO'd my samoan mate Felise Leniu in the 1st round. 7/07

I fought the European Karate Champion and K1 contracted Dusko Basrak, 2nd round KO, see 'Ben Edwards Serbia fight' on youtube. 12/7

I fought WMC Heavweight Champion Ramazan Ramazanov,i won 2nd round KO, see 'Nathan Carnage Corbett sydney fight' on youtube, im about half way in. 3/08

I made my Japan debut in april last year and lost a split decision after breaking my shoulder in the 1st round which put me out for
7months. 4/08

I made my return by winning the ISKA South Pacific Heavyweight Title in November see ' Ben Edwards vs Mick Siebert' on youtube i won 2nd round KO 11/08

and this last weekend i fought for the ISKA World Title, i won 1st round KO, see ' Ben Edwards vs Rick Cheeks' 4/4/09

It wouldn't matter what game plan Hoppa had, i would smash him again. Trust me.

Was the Hopoate fight boxing or kickboxing?

[GUVNER]

The Hoppa fight was an exibition boxing fight.

Thanks for your support

The bout was contested under the pretence of Modified Muay Thai rules (no kicking) to avoid Boxing Authority of New South Wales involvement as required by Australian Capital Territory's legislation - Cost cutting measure by promoter.
Given the fact no kicking was allowed, it could not be classed anything but a boxing bout.

I hope they line your pocket with a fistful mate, because you in the heavy weight scene would be exciting.
