This bloke is a champion win/lose or draw, he just keeps stepping up, and the bloke he's fighting is of similar mould.

Bolling will have his first fight out of Australia against a bloke who just came of a win against Saul Roman a former Lt Middle title challenger, so he's no mug.Bolling just come of a win against Oganov, so they are evenly matched.

It's the battle of the "0" Bolling 12(10)-0 vs Oosthuizen 11(8)-0 for the vacant Supermiddle title in South Africa.

More Prospects like this please :TU: I'm a fan!

Yeah i wanted him in, i even posted it before the contender started.

Sherington would have been a good edition as well, as would have Pittman.

This is a big fight for Bolling, any chance of a stream, or a long shot here, maybe Fox decides to go international?????

I seem to remember Bolling being offered a position but he believed there were better avenues to pursue.

Did he really?

I think things may have worked out better for him, and at his stage of his career it is pretty rare, because the exposure that the contender got was pretty decent.

He fought and won an Australian title, fought on 2 fantastic televised cards, beating a man with a lot more expierence convincingly and now has a shot at a minor world title.
