there r plenty of fighters who would benefit from rhino being in their corner to give them a rev up when things get tough.

certainly showed more ticker than most these days.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do in your future, Mick.

Detached retina? That's a real bummer.

The same thing happened to my cousin. But there's life after boxing. You come across as a nice bloke and I'm sure it'll all turn out good. You seem well respected on here. Goodluck. Trainer? Promoting? What's the plan?

Well it depends which wilson turns up,he's beat briggs twice by ko who's a far better boxer than browne,beat leapai with the jab,a harder puncher than browne,knocked hoppa the fuk out,even after getting dropped and drew with haumono,which I think he won that fight,he's got some of the best tools in the buisness.Absolutly nothing against browne but I want col to win,4th aus title up in his own back yard.I also want to see who browne is after a loss,like with his mma career,he couldn't get out of there fast enough and changed to boxing.Goodluck to both boys I should be there to present the belt to the winner. :TU:

Bad luck on your injury mate, you'l be a great loss from the heavy weight scene, I for one enjoyed watching you fight. A detached retina is a very serious injury, it ended the career of an old gym mate, Shane Wheatley. Look after your sight at all costs. You're right, this will be a cracker of a fight, and much as I'm a fan of 'Big Daddy' if Wilson turns up in shape, on his game and with his eye in, it'll be a tough night at the office for Browne with no chocolates at knock off time.

Sad to see the biggest balls in Australian boxing retire prematurely. You gave it your all, well done.

Very sad news. Gotta look after your health. All the best for the future mate and hope your retine behaves and reattaches ASAP.
