He hadn't fought outside Melbourne so not many (including me) would've seen him

Probably would have seen Mwetupunga fight on fox when he got beat by William Hadlow. I got Hartmann in this fight as well.

I think it's sad that these two are fighting for the Australian Title. Surely there are two better middleweights in Australia...

I admit the ranks are pretty thin, but no matter which way you cut it a 8-2 fighter v a 6-2 fighter fighting for a national Title is a sad state of affairs...

Some one send him to Bunnings, isle five, third shelf up on the right. tell him to grab a tube of Araldite, suck on it and harden the f#$k up.

In Pradeep's defensive he is a good fighter and he was heavily victimised in the house, especially by Nadar and Victor.
As for hardening up, he does box for a living so he is probably a fair bit harder than they guys on here who are criticising him, no offense intended.

No offence taken, just using the oppertunity to give that joke a run, and give Pradeep a bit of a ribbing. He does deserve some respect just for being a boxer, let alone the fact that he isn't a ba boxer at that and has had a couple of good wins.

I liked Nadar before that show, i too thought Pradeep needed to grow up but by the end of it i felt sorry for him. I though he did well when he actually fought. Seems to train hard too

What happened to Talipeau? Is he now considered too good for the national title?

if he was smart he would go looking for fights either overseas or with overseas fighters surely. is there a point to fighting for the aus title over and over again when your worth more???
a rematch with nader would be nice though

I mean that he won the Australian Middleweight title and, not having won a regional title nor lost at 160lbs since should still be Australian champion.

i wouldnt want to see Junior fight Nader again, he needs bigger opportunities, other titles maybe, or perhaps shifting weight Divs and line up Medley, there are still many mountains to move here in Aus before he thinks of takin it overseas

Junior is meeting this bloke in the very near future, that's why he relinquished OZ title

That will be a big test for Junior.
Hamden will never enter the ring with Junior again, especially since he was given a gift from God to exit with a TD after getting smashed in the first round.
Australia knows Hamden is not up to Junior's level.

Junior was meant to fight Tessuya Suzuki for the title on Dec 13, but Japs pulled a shifty & replaced him with former champ Sato, who reclaimed the title after his TKO 7 loss to Sturm in WBA challenge.

Antons are we talking here or in Japan?
Either way it's good to see a platform for a possible rivalry between Australians and Japanese for the middle to lower weights.

Former OZ super middy champ Les Piper may also have an appointment with OPBF super middy champ Yuzo Kiyota in Japan
