Leapai V Kevin Johnson

[Giancarlo]

Nicely timed postponement for me as I will be in Brisbane for this one. Any other cards fixed for south Queensland over the next month or so?

Good card at the Mansfield Tavern in a couple of weeks.

Always a good atmosphere there.

Kali is old, but imo was overrated so peopple expected so much from him. As I said in another thread, he lost just about everytime he fought a wrold class opponent

But the commentators said Meehan had "beaten world class opposition virtually every time he's been asked".

Yes, that says a lot about the commentators......We have some of the worst in the world.

[Brute]

He was not asked very often. Not his fault, bad promoters.

[Da Voice]

Wasn't aware Alex had 6 kids until last night's News report

Samoans tend to have big families. Alex is also a very religious man.

Is that the card on the 23rd mate? Some very good, evenly matched fights on it.

It's true. He gave up the grog and drugs and started shagging for Jesus.

I know mate, im Samoan. D

Most Samoans are religious, they are taught young, every Sunday all Samoan families go to church. God is always first with anything Samoans do, hence why you hear Leapai or Tua praising God in Samoan before they make any comments after a fight.

I read somewhere about Leapai giving up the drugs and grog, turning to God and doing boxing, or was it a video?

Have a look at Alex's career very early, you will notice a a year and a half gap between his fight, there's a reason why he found god.

Gaol time?

Not asked very often, true, and I've long been a sympathiser of how he was handled, but when he did fight world class opposition, let's take a look at whether he beat them "nearly every time".

Peter Okhello w ko 3
Danny Williams l ko 1
Damon Reed w tko 6
Lamon Brewster l pts 12
Hasim Rahman l ko 4
DaVarryl Williamson w ko 6
Ruslan Chagaev l pts 12
Evans Quinn w pts 12

Note I'm being incredibly generous in calling Okhello, Reed and Quinn world class, but included them because they'd fought for world titles. With them, Meehan is 4-4 in world class. Without them, he's 1-4.

[caveman]

wat does it matter where he was or wat religion,wat matters is if he gets over this bloke he is very close to getting a shot at the big one,nobody wants to fight the klits, who else is there 4 the russians to fight

Yep, it's always a good night of evenly matched bouts.

To my knowledge Alex has 8 children.

[Beltane]

Eight puts Alex in the same league as Hoppa!

When Alex gives boxing away, he could easily live off Family Allowance!

[oliverfennell]

To my knowledge Alex has 8 children.

Why so few? I once met a Samoan who had SEVEN at the age of 19!

Since when is stating a fact racist?

Fact: I, Oliver Fennell, once met a Samoan citizen who told me he was 19 years old and had seven children.

[Brute]

Maybe he was bragging.

How many mothers did these kids have? Is calling a Polynesian promiscuous bigoted?

['Frilla]

Getting closer, wish Leapai all the best!

Its all mind games from here on in, hope he is ready!

[bigred83]
