He has been offered a big fight by DK for December, he has said yes.

Now just waiting on the contract.

Mark has heard it all before so keeping his fingers crossed.

Alexander was the best opponent de Mori has fought since he returned from exile. Hamer will quickly demonstrate how far off the pace Alexander is.
I think Calloway beat more good fighters than Alexander has, I was calling a mismatch.

Alexander is ordinary but theoretically at least is at his peak. Calloway beat good opponents years ago but was 42 and absolutely gone by the time de Mori fought him. That's why he retired straight afterwards.

9 KO losses in his last 12 fights hardly sounds like a fighter at his peak.

Rumor is that the prospective opponent is former WBC champ Samuel Peter.

Interesting name to be thrown up. I thought Peter had retired actually. I know he had a fall out with King over the Wlad fight and they ended up in court. Not sure what his relationship with King is like now?

I believe its Tony “TNT” Grano.

Grano would be the best opponent he has fought by some margin. Hope it happens :TU:

Peter's last fight was a loss in April last year to Helenius. He was supposed to fight Harold Sconiers a few months ago but it fell through.

Since this thread started nearly a year ago, De Mori has had two fights against two imported journeyman at the losing end of there career. Very soon the amount of pages will overtake his amount of bouts, hard to think of a more overated boxer in Australasia. My guess is he fights an imported over the hill journeyman in about March.

He stated that he is fighting in December no matter what if the (original) fight falls through, Weather that means here in Australia or over-seas i don't know.

It's not if though he fought Tua or Cameron though is it. Infact the only person on his record who is a 'contender' of sorts is Alex Leapii and that was a draw on Leapii's debut. I guess he sneaked a draw with Elisara Sii Uta (who co-incidentally was coming off a k.o loss to Tua's cousin.)

Sneaked a draw? De Mori knocked Uta down in the fourth and the Kiwi judges gave Uta a hometown draw.

Joey Wilson was knocked down by Solomon Haumono in there recent bout and then lost every round but Haumono still somehow managed a draw (on N.Z soil). I do agree N.Z officials are poor but the Aussie ones are really nothing to write home about. Getting back to my original statement De Mori hasnt beaten anybody yet in career spanning over 8 years, I don't think he'd beat the affore mentioned Wilson, might sneak a draw though :wink:

Foley hasn't fought since.

Mark would tear his head off and shit down his neck. Wilson lost to Tutaki and only drew with the Goggomobil! De Mori KOed Tutaki on neutral ground in the first round.
