Australian Fight Series?

[franko1990]

this doesn't seem like to bad of an idea in my opinion. A bit like the Super 6 but lets just hope it doesn't turn out like that with fighters pulling out all the time...

This is a good idea in my opinion, just what is needed in Aussie boxing. God local fighters fighting each other.

Franko,

Just for everyone's information, The fighter's on this card will be matched for this show next Friday, the card features some of the best Welterweights in Australia.

I think it will be terrific to see the likes of Jason Kanofski, Tim Hunt, Matt Paulley, Jimmy James, Todd Kidd, Alex Ahtong and Bobby Antanakos and a couple more all feature on the one night.

The Promoter is a pretty switched on young bloke doing his first show, he is well established in business in Victoria and knows what he's about, He has some very solid support from a few of the Victorian gyms, so i think it will be a success, and hopefully, later in the year we will see just who the best Welterweight in Australia will be, my tip is there could be some surprises in store.

I will put he re-scheduled card with who will fight who, in Boxrec schedule immediately the draw is completed.

Cheers,
Brad Vocale

My mate, Faisal Fayed, has thrown his hat into the ring and is hopping to get on the card as well.

My mate, Faisal Fayed, has thrown his hat into the ring and is hopping to get on the card as well.

DB, yes he goes ok "fast & Furious, had a close loss to Cessaire last time out (no disgrace) and also defeated Jean Claude and Nick Themlakis early days as well, Nick's going well now, Faisal should make a good go of it.

I was chatting with Adam Wilcock the Promoter late last night, he never mentioned Faisal, but I'm sure he'll have a place for him there somewhere, if he does, then i think Faisal may have a say in the make up of the finals.

Hey, can he make the weight? he hasn't weighed at Welter 66.68kg yet i don't think? but he's got time on his side anyway.

Cheers
Brad

[dberry]

Yes, his loss to Cessaire was no disgrace, it was Faisal's first fight back after 18 months and he chose Rivan over a 0-4 pushover. He can make weight, he is just hoping there is a spot available for him, he may have left it a bit late to put his name forward as he was waiting to see how an injury healed.

Hey DB, I will be chatting with Adam again shortly and i'll ask if there's a spot, and/or what the situation is. I am sure somewhere there may be a pull out due to injury etc, there always is, but i know spots for this series are hard to get, everyone appears to be really keen to be in it and i think faisal would be a good addition, but let's see what Adam says and I'll come back to you.

I love it, great concept, and i hope it does well.

[Da Voice]

What's the bet Tim Hunt wins the series??

[kylamy]

I love it, great concept, and i hope it does well.

HD, yes it is a terrific concept and, I am sure it will be successful, when you look at the calibre of all the fighter's involved, there is not much separating them, and this to me should mean good close fights.

I think it will come down to the fighter who's feeling best on the night may get away with the win, its that close in my humble opinion, I think this could also lead the way for more round robin style fights where the very best of the division will fight each other, something we have struggled to achieve in the past.

In Japan each January/February they have what they call the carnival of Champions, it happens every year and the National champions in every division are required to fight their mandatory defence against the highest available contender, it is a hugely succesful annual event, and every national champion must compete, otherwise their title is lost or fought for in their absence with the new champion mandated to defend against the former Champion, If say he was injured and could not take his place etc.

We often see terrific fights irrespective of their so called record and standing, they all put it on the line and that way, we see good competitive fights for the National title and the Champion, simply cannot duck his mandatory, well he can for only a short time.

Also in Japan, the only titles you can fight for are the following:

WBC World title. WBA World title. OPBF regional title, there are no other titles recognised, not even the PABA, which is one of the regional bodies of the WBA.

Other regional titles cannot be fought for in Japan, they will not even recognise an IBF World title, or any of it's regional's, they certainly will never accept the likes of the IBO, WBO and WBF, in some ways it's a great concept and works well for them, they are hugely successful and have lots of title fights, they often have three or four shows per week at just the Korakuen Hall in Suidobashi in Tokyo, where it is a purpose built stadium where the ring is never pulled down.

Just a little bit of trivia for you.

Cheers

Nice concept and some nice info in this thread. thanks guys.

Be interesting to know how much each combatant in the series gets after each fight?
Being in hospitality biz (at management level) for most of my working life, venue capacity, catering & estimated cost in the ring...simply doesn't add up.

Brian Amatruda run 3 shows there. Without knowing exact attendance, I reckon he would've dropped at least 20k on each occasion.

Probably the reason he established his own joint - The Melbourne Pavilion, Flemington.

[Da Voice]

Be farked if I know who talks people into promoting some of the shows in Melbourne.
Last year's proposed show, with all regional titles in the world @ Sebel Albert Park was nothing short of sign of mental disability.
Promoter was Sydney based & office boy @ a legal firm. The show didn't eventuate, after it was moved to another venue 'cos table sales overwhelmed Sebel's capacity

Thanks mate, I love the idea of fixed events yearly, the Japanese have got it right. I didn't realize how organised the Japanese events were. My biggest gripe with Boxing is it's quite difficult for people who are trying to get involved in boxing to follow the sport...IE who's the champ and why is there 4. Tournaments,Knockout formats and even the concept of Leagues is a good way to pull a lot more people to the sport. The contender is a prime example, however at times it was a blackeye, but more good than bad came from it.

I was aware of the Japanese and there stand on the ABC's, it's a very strong opinion.

Japan Boxing Commission is non-government regulator playing politics, which in time will find itself in court.
No different than ANBF Queensland not recognizing PABA, WBO Asia Pacific etc title fight.

Had Hasegawa beat Montiel & scored WBC & WBO title http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer & then wanted to defend both in Japan, there would be SFA JBC could do about it. :P

Had a fight with Jap contributor, telling him we're record keepers & NOT politicians, but all to no avail, which was understandable 'cos it took me quite a while to convince him there was no such thing as "vacant interim" title

[Da Voice]

I don't know great deal about the series, but my wild imagination suggests 1st draw & all subsequent draws will be in Tim Hunt's favour.....wink! wink!

Again you farkwit, talking about stuff you know absolutely nothing about, I don't know why i even bother to give your post any credibility by answering, You simply do not have a clue about anything do you. You have never been to Japan, they would not let you in anyway, the stench of your body odor would make them turn you around at Narita airport.

For your information, "Mr. Know it all", the JBC has absolute autonomy over the sport in Japan and they will not allow any other championship fights in Japan, AT ALL. you have absolutely no idea what goes on in Japan and for you to be arguing with another contributor is nothing new, in your quest to become Boxrec top dog, you tried to stand over anyone and everyone, you farken imbecile, but you lost......ha-ha-ha, How you feeling now??

In one of the most recent cases, Yamaguchi the young Featherweight who was WBO Champion and fighting out of Perth with Justin Footit, could not defend his title in Japan, that's why he had to defend out here.

When Sharon Anyos fought there yonks ago, twice it was for the WIBA Women's title, but the JBC would not sanction it, and, at the time Women's boxing was banned in Japan, So the JBC had no involvement in the show at all, nothing, no officials, no JBC registered fighters, No ring registered ring announcer or registered doctor, no-one, No go and try to prove me wrong goose.


Now had Hasegawa beaten Montiel, as it was in their fight anyway the WBO title was not recognised, It may show as being for the WBO title, but there were no WBO officials, no WBO Supervisor or anyone there from the WBO, only the WBC championship was fought for and recognised in that fight, as it is Hozumi lost and it made no difference, he was well aware of the situation and in WBO eyes would simply have vacated the belt anyway if he won, but because it was not recognised by the JBC, there was no belt to vacate anyway had he won it.

So go put that in your next joint and smoke it, ya farken know it all faggot , it is typical of you to wanna have your say about anything and everything when you know absolutely nothing about what your talking about, now get back into your kennel and get pissed, sorry you are already pissed it's past 10am in the morning.

How much each fighter is getting is absolutely none of your business goose, and most of your working life, you were either pissed or full of some illegal substance, so how would you know anything about hospitality Management, It may not add up in your drunken smudged never clear thinking brain, but i am sure the Promoter who just happens to be a real go getter and a leader in the hospitality industry, would have done his homework, so you need not be concerned.

Just because you think, Brian Amatruda dropped 20K per show, does not mean that is the case, Brian is pretty switched on and he did not get his wealth by losing money on shows like you dreamed, and naturally, Brian thinks so highly of you and your expertise that he would confide in you that he dropped $60K in three shows, yeah right, again, this is a case of you speaking out of school and talking about something you know nothing about.

I think it's great, cos everyone in here can see just what a goose you really are, I don't need to tell anyone about you, cos your'e doing a fantastic job all by yourself, I love it and so do many others because it vindicates what i've been saying about you all along.

Because there is a title fight that i'm involved in on this show, you are willing, hoping and praying this show will be a flop, such is your jealous and vindictive way.

Sadsak, i told you, this sport does not need a clown like you with the negative attitude you have, you are a loser with nothing, and you are hoping that everyone comes back to your level, your jealousy will kill you and i for one cannot wait, that's if you don't OD in the meantime.

Cheers Sunshine,

Wrong Imbecile"

We all know you know nothing about anything, let alone this sport or this show, and yes your imagination is wild and while the draw has not even happened yet, and not even a glove laced up or a punch thrown in anger, and your trying to talk it down and kill it, you are something else you negative drunken fool.

Well sorry to disapoint you sunshine, you may accuse everyone of cheating like you have, but in the end, it will all work out pretty well, much to your disappointment.

Ooh this must irk you soooo much Sunshine, i just love it and so does everyone else. it must be soo hard for you Sadsak, you must hate the world

[Da Voice]

Sunshine...I only hate YOU & your sucking-up arse :P
You're only interested in PABA fight so you can afford a few packets of instant noodles to last to next PABA fight
Care to bet a dollar, albeit you'de be scratching to raise it, the show doesn't eventuate? :P :P

Don't push it Sunshine. I got a list of promoters that you so called helped out that were never seen nor heard of again :P :P :P

I gather (in your fantasy world) makes you mover & shaker

[Da Voice]

most of your working life, you were either pissed or full of some illegal substance, so how would you know anything about hospitality Management,

Just goes to show how much you know about me ya frigging uneducated clown.
In those days, given your attitude, I doubt I'd give you kitchen-hand job no matter how desperate for coin you were.
How's your blood pressure atm????
IMO it's wrong ANBF Qld gave you the arse after just one blood pressure test.. I guess rules are rules.

Sucksav, remember when you used to post stuff like this?

[kylamy]

What's the bet Tim Hunt wins the series??

SADSAK,

Not one reply to your post, doesn't that give you a hint??

No-one is interested in your drivel, you just don't get the message do you, it's still only 09-15am here in Gold Coast, your'e still in the sak and shortly you will crack your first drink for the day, after a few more fags, and your'e worried about my blood pressure, Ha-ha-ha, how do you even get up from your mattress on the floor in such a hazy daze every morning, o'h well with $20.000 stuck in there it must be very comfortable, haha

[kylamy]

Yeah Sadsak, I know you are hoping and praying this show won't proceed, just so you can tell everyone how knowlegable you are, I bet if the shows were starting here in Qld, you would not be slagging it, your one and only mate would stop pulling your puppet strings, then you would be in trouble .

Sorry to show everyone that you know nothing again Sadsak,

Have a lovely hazy day in your drunken state Sadsak, but with all the hundreds of thousands of dollars you have in the bank and in your mattress, you need not worry, that's why you live in an un inhabitable kennel and struggle to pay your $25 a week rent, your unit is so uninhabitable, it should be knocked down for health reasons.

Anyway, for those interested, just click on the link, the Promoter Adam Wilcock has taken out advertising with Boxrec, so when you click on something like a show in the schedule or an Australian boxer etc in Boxrec, you should see a banner and details of the show, Marina Sheppard did a terrific job co-ordinating this with Adam.

This show will travel, and the states of NSW and Qld will also be included, Adam Wilcock is trying to showcase the very best Australian 147 pound (66-68kg) fighters, and while we have negative imbeciles with no knowlege in here trying to denigrate his efforts, at least he is having a go and deserves our support.

Forget what this one drunken fool is saying that Tim Hunt will be shown favorable treatment, this just won't and can't happen, (but i think Tim is good enough to have a say in the finals) but when you have the calibre of Todd Kidd, Jason Kanofski, Evan Themlakis, Jimmy James, Alex Ahtong, Matty Paulley and Bobby Antonakas included, then its a pretty open playing feild and anything can happen, as i said previously, it will be the fighter who is on his game on the night.

I really hope and beleive this will be a success and hopefully it will move to other divisions, this young promoter is committed, and is trying his best to bring something new to our sport, so let's just wait and see what happens, there will be some good fights, and ultimately the fight paying public and fans will decide whether its successful, not some drunken fool who hates the world and has nothing else to do with his time other than slag those who are trying to do something good and different for our sport.

Now it may not be everyones cup of tea, and that's ok, but in the end, we all just want to see good fair fights between good local/interstate fighters, and this is what Adam Wilcock is trying to do.
