I was a little surprised that the WBO rates Jonny Walker as a Cruiserweight (or Junior Heavyweight as they call it) when he holds a regional light heavyweight title.
...and no he is not Scotch.
Alex Leapai ranked 14 by WBO
Re: Alex Leapai ranked 14 by WBO
Maybe it's time Shane Cameron fought Leapai- sometime next year maybe after Cameron has recovered.
Re: Alex Leapai ranked 14 by WBO
I'd back Leapai in this....seems Cameron is a sucker for a hook, Leapai' got a good hook.
Re: Alex Leapai ranked 14 by WBO
well so be it. If Cameron wins then he gets his ranking back. Plus it's an exciting TV fight.

Re: Alex Leapai ranked 14 by WBO
sorry to disappoint but he has a brother a member of eastsideboxing had already mentioned alex himself and brothers were flying to Samoa asap as the village where their parents are living had been hit by the tsunami i think that was posted last friday so it must be a different person who looked a like.graigsy wrote:just got home but very interesting is it me or i'm seeing look a likes i'm sure it was alex leapi tonight at the valley night club brisbane drunk disorderly who was cursing big time i was scared to go up to say hi just look like trouble was coming for him with other island guys that were theirif it's leapi i don't think i'll be fan of his very sad to see talent going to waist over booze and wouldn't be surprise if his trainer was part of the drunken comrades.Important notice to all boxers they have to remember that they're professionals if they behave disorderly in public suffer the consequences,leapi you don't deserve the 14WBO rating give it to some one who's committed to get australia up in the heavyweight world ranks.
yep lets get it on Cameron V Leapai its time for cameron to fly up to the Australian shores.
it'll make good confidence for leapai with all the disasters happening in the islands leapai would be looking for someone to release his pain and sorrow just like tua.
Re: Alex Leapai ranked 14 by WBO
There will be more headliner cards involving Tua in NZ, which will have bigger profile. Leapai is only a short flight away. Cameron V Leapai on a Tua under card. Be a great fight and occasion.
Re: Alex Leapai ranked 14 by WBO
It'll be more like Colin Wilson vs Shane Cameron...
Just seen a bit of footage of Col snapping Hopoate last night, people should never under estimate the beer drinking Boxer, [if he trains he's dangerous!
I have to admit though i'm clueless as to who the best heavy in Australia is, one minute it's this one then it's that one, but until Mark Demori actually fights 1 of the top 5 Aus heavy's we'll never know.

Re: Alex Leapai ranked 14 by WBO
Yeah never underestimate Colin, it was quite a nasty KO. Hoppa was groggy well after the stoppage.Hounddawg wrote:It'll be more like Colin Wilson vs Shane Cameron...

Colin Wilson was KO'd by Cameron in round7 in 2005. leapai or haumono would be the match.Hounddawg wrote:It'll be more like Colin Wilson vs Shane Cameron...

Re: Alex Leapai ranked 14 by WBO
Yeah........I was aware of that result, but some people before this fight thought Hoppa was the best in Australia and Col just snapped him, you see were i'm going ;;-)isabella wrote:Colin Wilson was KO'd by Cameron in round7 in 2005. leapai or haumono would be the match.Hounddawg wrote:It'll be more like Colin Wilson vs Shane Cameron...

that sums it up. The dominator could do worse than sort out the division. I think he couldHounddawg wrote:It'll be more like Colin Wilson vs Shane Cameron...
