Rocky Jerkic fights for IBO title Sydney 23/5/15

Post by The Raw Prawn »

Promising Super Welter Rocky Jerkic fights blown up Thai Lightweight Eakkhunphol Mor Krungthepthonburi for the vacant
IBO Asia Pacific Super Welter Title in Sydney 23/5/15.
The 24 yr old Thai is 10-6-0
Expected better but this just continues a lenghtening line of cherry picked cans.Surely his team can look furthur afield for some decent opposition
Continuing claims of " nobody wants to fight him" are starting to ring pretty hollow.
He's had plenty of quality sparring with the likes of Mundine, Geale, Bika etc.
Fighting for dodgy meaningless titles against stiffs isn't going to impress anyone.
His resume is turning into a joke.

I've lost count of the number of times Jerkic vs Carr has been talked about and come to nothing.

Seriously. Rocky is fighting whoever has the balls to stand in front of him! It's just unfortunate that in Australia it is all about protecting the "0" in your country, then going overseas and being pumped! Have a look at Michael Zeraffa! Rocky has called him out plenty of times with no luck because Zeraffa knew he would get KTFO! And Jake Carr, a Super Middleweight! I still believe that Rocky would KO Carr regardless of weight! Imagine Carr walking in on Rocky like he did against Quinlan! Wholey crap! Rocky and his team wish that more credentialed Aussie fighters would fight him, but it simply wont happen, and Rocky has to settle for journeymen. Than you guys bag him out! If Rocky could help it, he would whip every fighter in his division! Rocky is the only fighter being deserviced here!

The protecting your zero thing is a major issue in boxing world-wide, not just here in Oz. Trouble is here, where we have far less registered pro boxers than most other countries, the impact of protecting your zero has a far bigger impact on the local scene.

If Jerkic's team called out hard punching 22yr old Welshman Liam Williams 12-0-1 for a shot at his Commonwealth S/Welter Title
I could become a true believer.
Win lose or draw Rocky would win over some new fans on both sides of the equator.
Shouldn't be a step too far.
After all Choc was fighting Ottke for his World Middle Title in his 11th bout. :OhYes:

I'd hate to be the ring announcer calling out Rocky's opponent: Eakkhunphol Mor Krungthepthonburi!

Must be 1 round per vowel.

I don't know who manages Rocky but he is a class act. I'm sure Rocky fights whoever his manager puts in front of him. But Rocky is a junior middle and I'm pretty sure Carr wouldn't make that weight. I would love to see Rocky fight some tough fights but I think his manager is the one to talk to.
