[margaret thatcher]

he's spot on about sam 'my head is your speed bag' vargas, and in general about the pooness of the card

[margaret thatcher]

Just watched one of Bridges' fight on YouTube...great peace of match making. Shes brought attention and Shannon is going to outclass her. She is so slow, complete novice...Shannon will look world class to a new viewer

ya she is a total fraud as a boxer. for some reason they really like those types in aus

shameful having her in a world title fight really

Wow!!

Sky/Matchroom are really going all out on this.

Bridges weighed in for her last fight, promoted herself a little, caught attention and within a month, Eddeh couldn’t wait to get her on the bill.

Gonna be ’s on at the weigh in.

I laugh she just weighs in looking appropriate.

They just killed the whole ‘Around the table’ concept.

Yeah courtenay hasn't got a personality you can warm too

Comes across as a racist chav going off her tweets and behavior. If this was a full venue, Bridges would be the one getting cheered on which says a lot about Courtney.

Yeah you're right there mate I'm rooting for bridges, as are you and I'm sure many others

The problem is Bridges is as slow as a snail and is going to get beaten up and stopped rather easily. She's carrying too much extra weight in the chest due to implants and it slows her down. It will be nauseating to see Courtney carrying on afterwards with all the BS that will be said. Seeing her get booed by the fans when announced and Bridges getting cheered loudly when she gets introduced would have been the highlight of the night but we don't even get to see that.

Yeah she's made for a beating really isn't she but like a fool I'll still be behind her

Never heard of Lauren Eagle either don't care what you read or say Womens pro boxing is not big in Aust ,, mind you it will be in the future , seems like theres more girls going to ameteur clubs now than boys

, Do agree though , Aussies love there rugby guys getting it on , but rugby is BIG in Australia , and they love the rugby hardmen to have a biff , and unlike the Freddie Flintoff bollocks they are usually in even fights , good boxers not usually , but i always say , get two men who think they can fight , willing to have a fight and has long has there evenly matched you will generally get a entertaining fight .

Regards Mundine he was definetly NOT a sideshow , that guy was a top athlete who changed sports and with no ameteur experience took a undefeated world champ to the final rnds after only 12 fights ,, OK he got beat , stopped but if you watch it it was just sheer exhaustion that done him ,, don't know how many rnds you could do but i'm telling you to do 10 -11 3 minuite rnds after only 12 fights was awsome Only problem with Mundine is he stuck around too long and messed with his weight too much , but the guy in his prime could box very well ,,,,,,

But you cannot begin to compare the Aussie rugby players having a boxing biff on ppv's which are aimed at the rugby fans moere than boxing fans , too the rubbish PPV that Hearn and sky are charging you guys for , because there not trying to attract soccer fans , by getting Keane to have a Biff with Beckham ,,, there actually trying to sell it to boxing fans

[TheLeprechaun]

Paul Gallen is quite good. He's got good skills. I might actually take him to beat Lucas Browne.

[margaret thatcher]

he drew 2 fights ago with another rugby player, a 43 year old 0-0 guy, funny enough


see, there we go, that's what i mean, you got like a f@cking circuit of these dudes in aus

Draw he did , with Barry Hall , and that sold well , because Barry hall is from Aussie rules football so you got two hardmen from two differnt sports having a go , Barry Hall by the way had a good ameteur carreer before he choice football , so he was used to the ring .

But like i said , watch now,,,,,,,, Read my Lips,,,,, These fellas having a go are too attract the Aussie rules and Rugby fans , no one for a minuite actually believes there gonna be great boxing bouts , but the Aussie sports fans will pay to see there football hardmen have a go .

But by the way , theres plenty who actually believe Paul Gallen has a chance against Brown ,, remember the same Brown that Eddie has brought to the UK and been sold to the UK boxing fans .

Also if i'm honest , these novelty footballer fights , i don't mind so much becuase there usually a fun night out , the local pubs ALWAYS put them on the pubs are usually packed , and there is always a bit of work for the undercard boys , but its sold has what it is rugby hardmen having a go ,,,,, wherass you poor buggers like i said are being told two women one so obscure , even the people where she lives have never heard of her , are ppv fights with good boxers

Vargas looks in great shape. Does anyone give him a chance? I can't see it. Benn is too fresh.
