Teremoana v Savage 12 August

[ninetypercent]

Here we go again. This is a main event in the modern world. Teremoana fighting a dude from America that's ranked 272 in the world and is the 57th ranked Heavyweight in the USA. There are literally 13 better ranked Heavyweights right here in Australia.

I never thought I'd say anything positive about Dana White but maybe he's right and we need a promotor who will try to put together evenly matched fights. Whenever Matchroom or Tasman are involved you know your going to be watching a succession of one sided beat downs.

I think Teramoana is talented but at this stage of his career he should have at least cleaned out the domestic talent. I was there when Huni had his first pro fight. Ten rounds for the Australian Title which he won. I attended most of Opetia and Paro's Queensland fights and most Ace Boxing events. No l won't be going to this.

Had a look at the 35-year-old Savage's record.

All his wins were against fighters with negative records. As soon as he stepped up against a fighter with a positive record, he proceeded to lose every round.

Teremoana is being badly advised to continue with a padded record.

Yeah it's one of those things where you may be piling up a nice record numbers wise, but you're not advancing your craft because you're never challenging yourself.

i just dont get it, why all the cans teremoana? hes looked the business as amateur and pro. in the ams he was stopping guys who are far better than any of these pro knockovers

[Grant]

surely the promoter has some sort of obligation to protect the fighters in this situation.

[gilgamesh]

After this next demolition job hopefully they can at least match Teremoana against a Durable guy in the Top 100 or whatever. Who are the biggest names in Australia and New Zealand right now besides Joseph Parker? Those would probably be the most natural matchups to make for now.

Maybe Mark De Mori followed by Demsey McKean and then Justis Huni. If he gets by those guys he could try to Usurp Joseph Parker's spot as the top contender of the region.

Maybe a few other names somewhere in the mix, but I feel like those 4 names should be somewhere in his next 7 or 8 fights. They just make sense for him, and then from there you can go more international.

Maybe a few more international journeyman or fringe contender types sprinkled in there.

[Beltane]

Mark de Mori, cannot be considered as he is now 44 years old, last fought in a four rounder and has one of the most padded records in any weight division.

The other fighters named, Demsey McKean and Justis Huni would be more than worthy opposition for Teremoana.

Teremoana is being badly advised to keep fighting tomato cans.

[Grant]

I would definitely pay to see him fight any of those two for sure. Huni or McKean.
Preferably on a free to air fight on Fox or Kayo, Then PPV from there.

He definitely needs to step up the level of his competition, and McKean or Huni would be a good place to start.

[fox]

Bowen’s opponent was a tough pudendum and dangerous at times. I like Jack Bowen and I think he needs fights and rounds like that to progress.

[gilgamesh]

Yeah that was a really good fight. Bowen vs Dalielibieke. Lots of grit shown by the Chinese fighter. He definitely didn't just come to lay down, and tagged Bowen with quite a few big shots in return. Even though he lost most rounds he was always in the fight it felt like because of his toughness.

[fox]

Looks like Zerafa’s confidence is shot to shit. Old mate is awkward but he keeps asking his corner is he winning or does he look alright.

[fox]

And old mate chucked it in as I posted.

[fox]

Teremoana too good tonight.

[Beltane]

Savage only lasted less than 2 rounds and was totally outclassed and not very fit with a prodigious girth.

[gilgamesh]

Still nobody has seen the 3rd against Teremoana.

[JxhDel.]

Not joking, Teremoana is the embodiment of a division boogeyman.

This is the trick. I like his style, but when he finally gets pushed we will see what he is made of

[gilgamesh]

I think when he steps up it'll go about the way it's gone for Berlanga when he stepped up.
