MP thanks so much for the inside info mate.

Would love to see this fight in Oz next year. How do you see it going MP ?

I think it will be close early in the piece but Soliman will take over in the mid rounds and I think Geale will quit on his stool at the end of the 10th round.

Take it to the Bank?

Can admin create a thread that Buster can't enter

MP can you please give an honest analyse of the current state of Australian boxing and where you see it headed over the next 5 to 10 years. What are the good and bad points ? Is there anyone out there who can become a star and have good success overseas ?

Put him on ignore like I have. I call it ''the whimpering crybaby repellant''function. He's a bigger crybaby than Danny Green why he just can't avoid this thread I have no idea.

As of now the Australian boxing scene is pretty bad, those who are world rated do not stand a chance when they step up, the last generation of fighters who are coming to the end of their careers at least on the world scene made a contest of it, like Katsidis against Marquez, Casamayor and his win over Mitchell in England.

Paul Briggs had a couple of good fights just falling short against Adamak. Hussein gave Arce a tough fight, he also went 12 with the Thai fighter who was long time reigning WBC champ, Skinny gave Pac a tough fight and went 12 rounds with Larios. Meehan went alright in his fight with Brewster, even Mundine & Green were serious contenders at super middleweight.

But this generation the Aussies are getting completely blown out when they step up, like Geale against Golovkin & Cotto, Talipau against Ramirez, Brunker against Selby, Caparello against Kovalev, Dib against Miura, Tomlinson against Vargas, the list goes on and they were absolute one sided drubbings.
A lot of fans have tickets on the Horn kid to be the future but after his last fight against a sub par opponent he looked very ordinary.

Not sure what the next 5 to 10 years will hold as boxing is not a very popular sport with all the codes of football available.

We are so lucky to have MP on this board guys. He has impeccable boxing knowledge.

I was pretty close just one round off.
