Wow just wow.....Welcome back common sense

anyone know what happened to Justin Whitehead ??

Justin is 39 years old, he had a good amateur career and won a national professional title. Maybe he thinks he has nothing left to prove.

Aussie title Friday 13th in Melbourne, The Iron Rhino V Big Ben Edwards. Well l never thought this would happen so soon in Bens career. I wish then both all the best, this is a hard fight to pick a winner. What a cracker.

i will be there with bells on, so if you see a man there with bells on, come over and say hello, I might even buy you a tasty beverage.

Wish I could be there dberry but I shaw as hell will be watching,on the tv and looking for a guy with bells on.

Winners should be Edwards, Pitt & Taylor, but l have been wrong before, just don,t tell my missis l said that.

I'm recording while watching the Bronco's.

My picks are.

Yannick
Pitt
Edwards...Hard to pick against the Rhino but not a good choice for Mick, I thought a couple more fights back would have been good first(hope i'm wrong).
Caperello
Browne

Great nite of fights. Thought big Ben was going to run out of puff after the 2nd round but was still there to the finnish. Draw The Brad pit fight well iv seen Aarmen fight some top guys and never been put down like that. Taylor fight could have gone eighter way. Big Daddy what a power house. got put down in the first and still got up to put a good fighter away.Good nite of boxing, hats of to the promoters.

Indeed, a great night out. Hats off to the promoters.

The best card of the year imo.

I thought Edwards edged it but won't complain about a draw. Kirby stuck to his usual rush forward and smother style and it was pretty effective at blunting Edwards offence in the early going but Edwards gradually accumulated the scoring shots and marked up Kirby pretty bad. Great fight, hats off to both of them and I'd be surprised if they don't do it again.

Oh and what was with the announcer saying six times it was a split decision when it was in fact a draw!?!

Leave Howard Leigh alone, he's an institution in Victorian boxing, and he's my mate :P

Sorry dberry but hes hopeless.

whats next for ben?

Hey Ben could you let us know whats happening with your boxing. Can wait to see you back.

Think you will find it was his second or third. Defo not debut, toyed with Kinsella TBH and waited til the 12th to stop him so he could prove to himself that he could do 12. Think he weighed in in tracksuit, who knows what he had in his pockets at the time!
