"Same would've happened if Tauasa stopped Ammann. Had he outpointed him, the title would've been safe 'cos it was over 8 rounds"
Now that I've got the weights, this was never the case as Tauasa was well over Cruiserweight limit
Now that's great news :) Col won it fair and square after all.
To be safe, it was reduced to 8 rounds, but I guess Hoppa didn't bank on being KOd

the ANBF has turned Australian titles into a joke. The national champion should be the best fighter in his weight division in the country, regardless of any other titles he holds. Carruthers, Rose and Famechon were Australian, Empire and World Champion at the same time, why not now?
This "every child gets a prize" approach is hopeless.

Things had changed since those days.
I doubt Darchinyan, Green etc would be interested in OZ & C'wealth title
Nor can I see them defending OZ title for 5k
