Sakio has been looking for a fight for ever at least the Argie is willing to have a go.

Can't wait for this card tonight, should be a cracker, the matchmaker has done a unbelievable job.

What a great show...............my heart was in mouth at the end with that incident.

The show itself was great, i don't know his name but the MC and Johnny Lewis were good, and the crowd was great.

Dominic Vea looks good, and it was a great win for Michael Bolling, Anthony Mccracken gave it his all and is one tuff M/F, those shots he took were crippling and he just kept coming, easily one of the best fights on the night and this year.

I just hope there's not a big stink about the last fight and they concentrate on the fact it was a great show

I cant wait to see more, well done OneHD.

Great night of boxing. Apart from the fight at the end. Dib showed little class pushing away his opponent like that and then pushing away his trainer Justin Footit.
The KO was ordinary. The Jap guys foot slipped under the ropes as he was backing up. As he gets up Dib hits him with a huge punch and the Ref stopped the fight. The ref made a huge fornicate up in that fight.

Mate i was going to comment on the ref, he just had no idea, is there suspensions for incidents like this? And absolutely agree with the Dib incident. Yamaguchi was a nut as well though, hopefully people chalk it up to entertainment.

Interesting to hear from Kali meehan that he will be fighting in a OneHd newcastle show!

I highly enjoyed the card - had to go to bed before the Dib fight, hearing what happened, I'm glad I did.

Vea looked pretty good against McCracken, but did look to gas a bit in the middle rounds. McCracken did well to keep getting up and taking that punishment and even won a couple of rounds.

The elbow in Amman-Withers fight was pretty blatant and ugly. Good easy way to not have to fight the fight there. Shame it was stopped. I was interested to know why it was a technical draw rather than a NC or DQ.

Good card anyway, look forward to next week's one.

Two decent fights and two others that should have ended in disqualifications. Messrs Dib and Withers both should have been disqualified. Withers for 2 blatant elbows and Dib for hitting while the man was on the ground for a slip and then all the dopes jumped into the ring shoving and pushing.

A shameful display by both boxers and what was the ref doing in not making the hard decisions. Hope the rest of the ONE events don't remain at this standard. If boxing wants to get back on free-to-air on a permanent basis, we cannot have these merde displays, results and officials.

Fully agree Betane.

Wither's second elbow was a disgrace. No excuses after the incident will make me feel better about him. It's called cheating. He is a cheat.

The Ref's have a lot to answer for here. Withers should have been disqualified. No other result can be justified.

So......... has Dib fucked up the chances for all Australians to see boxing back on TV permantly?

It wasn't the greatest start to the series. It's not irrepairable but needs to be fixed quickly.

Perhaps this is what it needs, controversy, characters....cheats. But i'm not too sure.

The fight matchups themselves were good.

Things i reckon needs improving (then again, what the fornicate would I know)

- The on air talent. I understand that ONE HD have people they need to make the most of, but the host looked like a peanut with some of the questions he asked JL. And for that matter, take the form guide out of Johny's hand, all he needed was a beer in the other and he could have been at home in any pubtab.

- Ring announcers should be heard and not seen. They aren't the star of the show, announce and get out.

- Security - They appeared to be the ususal breed. They were even laughing and joking with each other as they tried to clear the ring. If there are so many of them in the first place, then how did all those nuffies get in, and stay in, the ring for so long?

This is the chance for the sport to gain some footing. But it needs to be guided in the right direction. Someone needs to have a vision and take everyone for the ride. Right now, it's a whole lot of individuals trying to make it work for them.

Lets hope it wasn't detrimental to the free to air revolution. There were some big positives that came out of the night Bolling and Vea have a bit to do still, but looked really good, the power of Vea was the showcase of the night and is fighting on a foxcard soon.

Alls i kept thinking when Billys family and friends jumped in the ring was thanks for fornicating it all up.

I just hope it's just not the end of the onehd program.

I haven't commented on Withers who i thought had something special to offer the sport, but what a coward, he commented at the end of the fight that he was petrified before the fight, and to me didn't want to be there, and with the 2 blatent elbows it showed. When the decision came in he had a smile from ear to ear. The crowd was right to boo him and He should have been DQ as well.
There is far too many TD in this country, why do so many Australians end up with so many draws.

Spot on

I must say I am sick of all the boxers and hangeroners who think they are bigger than the sport....
I thounght the ANBF were going to do something about limiting the number of "dickheads" that can jump in the ring.
While the whole incident was not as bad a the Elomar disgrace hasn't anyone learnt a lesson?
Why does it seem to happen with the Hussein trained fighters.....

i've said it before, where there is smoke there is fire. these blokes need to be dealt with. The authorities need to sort this out. It needs to be done with conviction, sternly but fairly. Even if it means short term pain, there should be long term gain in mind when dealing with these sorts of things/people.
