mirovic/calloway 'spoiler' (heheh)

Post by Bard of Boxrec »

Well, in the battle of the Roberts it appears Calloway scraped a UD over big bob.

These type of fights are so hard to predict, I said Bob by stoppage, I thought he had too much for Calloway with his rugged approach having given skelton and williams problems.

Looks like I'm a slippin down the prediction league

I too went for a TKO5 for Mirovic, his CV was just a little better...not much though :oops:

I provided Calloway with all his Mirovic scout footage and it looks like it worked. I wonder if Mirovic had seen any film on Calloway? Maybe that was the differance. :TU:
Anyways, to tell the truth I was picking Mirovic by KO also. I just thought Calloway's history with "name" guys was not that good.

WTF? Surely this is shit:

“The win means I’ll get a top 15 ranking with the WBC and WBA and hopefully I’ll get the chance to fight the likes of Evander Holyfield, David Tua or even Chris Byrd.” Calloway said.

Audley beat Calloway in his 9th fight, it shows what a good opponent he was

If your not being sarcastic, I agree.

If it wasn't for Audrey's age and him always getting his fingers caught in the toaster and stuff, he would have a fine record which would take him far if he had the time.

Owen Beck fought Mike Middleton (Audrey's 1st opp) in his 18th fight! Ok, same outcome (sneeze and Mike crumbles) but still.

There was no sarcasm in my post (or this one)



Audleys first 18 opponents have been at a higher standard than virtually any other HW. If it wasn't for injuries he would already be a recognised World Champion.

Glad to hear it. With all these cynics around it's hard to tell :wink:

It was a great fight with no hugging and holding they stood ytoe to toe for 12 rounds and both men had there chances but Mirovic suffered a broken jaw in the 3rd round that had him a bit cautious for a few rounds that cost him the fight.

The only reason we've even heard of Calloway and Mirovic is because they've fought and lost to British heavies.

Lets not pretend these guys are good fighters.

True and true both Ben and Kilburn. A good fight doesn't make them good boxers, but you don't need good boxers for a good fight.

There's talk of a rematch, which is fair play to Calloway, considering it being in Australia again, Bob's big weight advantage, and the fair pummeling Rob got himself that night

I'm sure it was a good fight, I'm just disagreeing with the idea that Calloway is somehow evidence that A-Force has faced decent opposition throughout his career so far. All Calloway has done is lose to Audley and beat a guy who got stopped by Skelton and Williams. That's not what you'd call impressive credentials.
