I think this one could go 12, kirby is a inside fighter, he is going to put his head on his chest and punch, wilson knocked hopoate out with long punches he fights on the outside.

i might have to disagree, Kirby should pull this off sweet,
Hoppa should retire after this,
Hoppa would not be able to do wat Haumono did to Kirby,
Only thing Hoppa has is a BIG right hand but thats it,
I see this going to Kirby Via KO Rd7/ or later rounds

hoppa should just try and fight some of the lower guys for 6-10 of his next fights to give him some confidence and a chance to learn a bit more without being fully tested every fight. he just doesn't have enough skill to compete with some of these better guys over a 8-10 round fight.

Couldnt see hoppa fighting for 7rds. 
which is why i believe Kirby will Knock Hoppa out,
Kirby has a good chin, sure Haumono beat him via tko, BUT he didnt drop and wasnt knocked out, I believe that Haumono is a harder banger than Hoppa....

School starts soon as the plane touches the ground
Man Shane KO's Hoppa inside 3 rounds, Hoppa has NO chin and Shane can bang a little! He's also far more experienced than Hoppa!
Rhino beats Hoppa IMO Late stoppage

Bump.
Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but myself and a few mates are looking at attending this up in Townsville.
Anybody have any ideas as to what the seating arrangements are like? Townsville Entertainment Centre website (
http://www.tecc.net.au/whats_on.php ) gives four classes of tickets, with the most expensive only being $60 (Vip stuff would be more I'd imagine). What category of ticket is the best?
Anybody from here going? :P

Notice that Hoppa has fallen off the card for his February bout with the Iron Rhino but is still on the slate for Shane Cameron in March.

If HOPPA'S gunna get KOed its better to be KOed by Cameron rather than Kirby that's why he fought Oliver McCall because he can say he fought a former World Champ rather than learn his basics fighting more local Heavyweights .

Looks like Hoppa will be in the ring a bit longer, trying to earn a quid, as this weekend's Manly Daily has advised that Hoppa now has ankle-biter number 9 on the way and Hoppa has stated he doesn't like odd numbers.
When he hangs up his gloves, Hoppa is guaranteed a hands on role as a sperm donor to continue his income stream.
