Jesus H Christ, what an embarrassment for Oz boxing.
How old was Mc Call 42, 44 ..?
The whole bout was pathetic bullshit from the start.
Any of the capable heavies from the travelling troupes of Sharman, Selby Moore,etc, in their day, would have sent Hoppa back to Manly 3rd Grade where he belonged.
Let`s have no more of this bullshit till someone comes along who can hold their hands up.
Sorry, but you have to be realistic about it....the whole match was a farce. Remember blokes like Kahu Mahunga, Trevor Thornberry, bla bla.....? They could fight, they had heart, they gave you entertainment... they were great and they were respected.
But this Hopeate fiasco?
No thanks :(

Hey :x Hoppa would have been HW champ had he won

yeah it`s scary to think about
Ladeeeese and Gentlemeeeen.....the new heavyweight champeeen of the woooorld...John Hopeate.
Seriously tho, Mahunga would have driven him into the 3rd row of the bleachers in the first.

it was to be expected i suppose.

Not quite like that though...
