Either way I think this main event will be a decent spectacle.

I just think he's levels above Thompson.

I worked for six month in Australia after I qualified and I was taught two rules.

1. Don't get in to a fight with an islander.
2. Don't chat one of their sisters up.

Will the fight last longer than that national anthem

Opera looking like a caged tiger, Thompson trying to look like one.

I loved there for a year. Worked on warehouses and construction. Also always in boxing gyms.

Don’t fight islanders man.

BBQ with them guys tho. They’re good vibes

Rabbit in the head lights.

There’s a bit of Audley about Thompson.

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:37**

Hard one for the corner if they don't pull him out he might be sent to the shadow realm round 2

Amen to that. Try and keep them off the booze.

Switch step righty overhand is a good tactic

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:43**

Thompson just can't find him with the Jab, he has to keep the the fight on the outside.

And what he really can't do is let the Australian tee off on the inside.

If he can't keep him at bay he needs to take a step forward and close the distance

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:43**

How long before the towel comes in?

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:44**

Yeah I was a tad too optimistic about this fight…

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:45**

Revoke their licence if they don't pull him out

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:45**

Pull him out.

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:45**

I didn’t think it was a stoppage until just before the last bell. If I’m in his corner he’s not coming out for the next round.

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:45**

Thompson is giving it his best shot, plenty of balls, should be pulled out.

Different levels and he has no idea how to defend himself when hurt

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:46**

Corner let him take a pasting there. Should have chucked the towel in round 3

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:46**

Ahhh get the poor lad out man. Totally underserved punishment.

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:46**

Watching Foster not stop that in the third, and still laughing at that Groves stoppage 10 years later.

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:46**

Brave corner

There was no way he could have won that. Brutal mismatch.

Posted: **30 Sep 2023, 17:47**

olympian at 17. clearly beats the proven world #1. all sorts of obvious speed, movement, and timing

can we admit he's really talented now and not act like jordy thompson's of the world are gonna give him a fight...
