why oh why is Amman v Forsyth at HW

Post by toppity »

the current Australian CW champ vs the best CW prospect (IMO), even though he hasn't fought at that weight. Why at HW...... :witzend:

i'm sure there must be a good reason.........

Don't worry about BoxRec ratings. ANBF ratings are important

Forsyth ain't

Why would Ammann fight Forsyth @ Cruiser in non-title fight? They'll probably meet @ around 92kgs as will McCracken & Forsyth

The show is a Heavyweight feature, So every fight is scheduled at Heavy. Even if they weigh in just over or under the Cruiser limit.

It's on Fox so I'm happy, but I see your point Toppo that it should be at Cruiser as both will be at there best weight.

Can Forsyth make Cruiser, he's very close to the weight but hasn't actually made it?

Id say he can, He is a solid guy though. He would be a huge Cruiser weight thats for sure.

If they fought at 14 stone 4 or under it would be a title defence.

If they fight at over 14 stone 4 they are fighting at heavyweight.

I see Adam had a solid win over McCracken last night, putting him down in the first. Can't wait to see him on fox soon :TU:

God win for forsyth can't wait for the Ammann bout, it was a big stepup in comp for Forsyth and it looked like he handled it pretty easily. Mccracken is a tough SOB, i'd be happy with that performance if i was Adam.

I know Daniel and I have watched Adam grow as a fighter and this is going to be an absolute cracker of a fight. This being an all Heavyweight card one would assume they have the biggest ring they can find and this could play its hand in determining this fight.

Wouldn't the big boys prefer a smaller square circle?

I would say that depends on who they are. I think Daniel would prefer the biggest ring he could find against Forsyth.
