Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
Re: Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
He is the IBF World Featherweight Champion. Who do you want him to fight?
Do you want him to be like Floyd Paterson and wear his World Title like a learner's plate?

Good to see you want him to go straight for the top man now he has a belt, Brute.
Let's see who he signs to fight next. They are talking about a defence later this year in this morning's Australian.
I'll be as disappointed as you if its an unknown like Geale managed to find.

brute,
u know what i'm saying, so don't bother twisting my words.
put him in with john now, i couldn't care less. he will lose so good on him if he chooses to take this route.

Re: Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
Agree with Iron Rhino. Junior won the fight easily. The rounds were hard and some were close , but Talipau clearly won. Very strange decision.
Dib was effective and won easily. I've watched him live a few times but won't pay to do it any more. He runs, holds, pushes and dances. His bursts of boxing are effective but infrequent. The m
Mexican came in head down throwing the odd airswing. He could not cut the ring off and was one dimensional. Full credit to Billy but he aint pretty to watch, especially when you've paid to do so.

In other words you don't agree with my "one world, one champion for each division" ideal?buster007 wrote:brute,

Re: Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
Do you think Dib's trainer, Billy Hussein, may have made Lacierva ineffective by tailoring Dib's style for the fight to best unsettle a flat footed slugger who has only been stopped once before, on cuts?razor7 wrote:Agree with Iron Rhino.

cant see dib defending against an olympic gold medal winner infront of 21,000 people TBH
Re: Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
You would have to admit Harrison did not live up to his amateur promise.
Re: Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
brute,
just because dib won a belt doesn't mean he is ready for the other belt holders. there would be plenty of newly aquired belt holders who would be ready to face the other belt holders, but dib will lose imo if he were to face john now.
as it stands there r 4 main belts and they r not obliged to face each other. if there were only 1 belt then fine, fight john who would probably be champ.
i'm not overly bothered as i'm not a dib fan.

I thought you were serious about wanting Dib to fight the top men now he is IBF champion.
Re: Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
They are pretty good at putting shit on others.
how do you feel knowing that if Australia and the UK still had a pound, shillings and pence system your quid would only be worth about 15 bob Australian?

I'd think "Wow, after all those years in the doldrums, the old pacific peso is on an un-natural high."
I'd also think "Gee, if China starts to slow down, I wonder if it will have a massive effect on Australia's export earnings."
And I'd also think "Does Brute ever get nostalgic for the 1960's when pommy bashing was a national pastime?"

Re: Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
Brute you come across as really insecure or have some kind of inferiority complex toward the Brits. Continually trying to justify the successes of Australia and Australians against the poms? What's that about?
Were you once scorned by a pommie lass? Or done over in a business seal with a pom?

It could be worse...not too long ago "on another forum" there was a plonker that reckoned Dave Sands was better than Ray Robinson and would have beaten him. Friggin hell

Re: Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
Dave beat Bobo Olsen twice. Olsen won the middleweight title when Robinson retired the first time but Dave had been killed in a motor accident. Then again, Randy Turpin beat Robinson....bollox wrote:It could be worse...not too long ago "on another forum" there was a plonker that reckoned Dave Sands was better than Ray Robinson and would have beaten him.

Re: Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
Never got that close to one. Married an Aussie girl and as for business dealings always figured there were three kinds of people to avoid.

Re: Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
Who knows? Sands was only 26 when he was killed. His record was 97-10-1, but half of those losses were before he turned 18.
Re: Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
"Pacific Peso." Are you related to that Pascoe shit that was on Channel 9? Nobody told him that Mexico has a Pacific coast and The Philippines is surrounded by the Pacific.Giancarlo wrote:Brute wrote:They are pretty good at putting shit on others.

Re: Billy Dib IBF Featherweight champ
be interesting to see which way the AUD goes after the US unemployment reports are announced tonight....
massive stock market crash beckons next week. AUD will probably start heading north again which will fcuk up our exports even more (noticably tourism which is /was one of our biggest exports).
we should see Gold increase.
US had 14 maxed out credit cards and just got approved on a 15th - interesting times ahead
