His last fight was against now Australian super middleweight champion Omar Shaick in April of 2010 where he won with a 8th round TKO. He was scheduled to face Garth Wood late in 2011 but a cut suffered by Wood in training put an end to the fight happening

‘Left Jab’ Fletcher (10-0-0) who will face his toughest opponent yet had a great 2012. He recorded 2 stoppage wins and 3 shutout points wins. His last fight was against William Hadlow in a return to home bout which happened in Hervey Bay, QLD.

On the upcoming matchup Fletcher said, “Finally after chasing it all year, I’m locked in to fight Johannes Mwetupunga. I cant wait to start 2012 with a BANG!”

Great fight, I think fletcher will be to good for Mwetupunga. He should be able to out box him and get a late stoppage in my opinion.

Nice step up, that's for sure.

I was hoping Robbie Bryant would challenge Mwetupunga - I think that would be a very good fight and I'd favour Bryant to win. With his pedigree, Fletcher should be better than Bryant and I pick him to win by a wide decision or late stoppage.

I think once Fletcher finds his rythm etc.. He will put him away, Mwetupunga wont be able to handle Fletcher, Fletcher by TKO 7.

Fletcher is a good prospect i just hope he is ready for this fight, i did not see his fight with hadlow but i only hope he was half paced and getting a bit of ring work, then again mwetupunga didn,t do much better, in see Hadlow has a title fight coming up! :??

IMO, Fletch will be too good, providing his hand, not to mention shoulder is at least 90% A OK
Excellent Oz title fight

Of sorts....bit of drama in the background over WBF so called Commonwealth title.

Who would allow this to go ahead? "Hardcore" is a game fighter but it is about time he retired. He is on his way to being badly hurt.

agree,fighting 4 a few bucks is not worth losin ur marbles,

Mwetupunga will win this fight. Fletcher said he had been chasing this fight all of 2011 B.S he didnt want to fight Mwetupunga for the title. All the best to both of then.

Jarrod fletcher will be to fast and to smart, as long as the fight go's mwetupunga will
be eating leather from all angles.
Not to discredit tito but he's up against a class act in fletcher

Really good match up. I give 50/50 in this fight. Should rewatch Fletcher's and Mwetupunga's last fights.
