I would like to see a fight between Big Benny and Mark DeMori before Mark goes back OS. I think it would be a good yard stick for both.

Tonight will be Mark's 21st fight, Ben has had 4.
I think Ben should have a few more fights before he challenges Mark.

Yes Brute that true Ben with only 4 boxing fights but how many MMA fights has he had? But in saying that yes he should have more Boxing fights before he has a crack at DeMori. Me I just wish he would have more Boxing fights.

Ben has had a heap of kick boxing bouts which are more important than MMA fights.
I agree with Brute though, id like to see Edwards have a few more "Boxing" fights before he challenges Mark.

Whose challenge was it at the winner of Browne v Wilson? Edwards?

Shane Tilyard is his next challenger.

Seen that. But what was the story with someone challenging the winner of Browne v Wilson?

Edwards will win the Australian belt without having to fight Browne.

My bet here is on a KO, Edwards knocks Tilyard cold, or the other way around, both boys hit very hard.

Chances of it going the distance are about zero. I think it will be Tilyard who ends up horizontal.

What made their Aussie title fight fall over? Did Tilyard pull out?

It looks like Ben has decided to stick to kickboxing. He has had a few kickboxing matches since his last fight.

In the leadup to the title fight with Tilyard that never happened, Edwards was quoted as saying he was now going to give boxing a serious go. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see him box again.

He,s back Ben Edwards is now the Australian heavyweight champion with his win on points over Hunter Sam on the weekend.This could make for some interesting Australian title fights in the future.

Hope so. The man can bang.

no ko is a bit surprising over 10 rounds.
couldn't ko Kirby either.
kali put Kirby on queer street very easily.
ben can bang no doubt, but I'm not convinced his level is very high.
he's value for money though and will always have a punchers chance vs some handy heavies.
I still don't like seeing him coming into the ring looking like he hasn't trained properly.
