Jeff Horn is undefeated after 12 fights are looks to be headed for bigger things.
Re: Who are the locals showing the most promise going forward??
Jeff Horn,Jake Carr,Steve Lovett,Zac Dunn and hopefully after this weekend another Comm champ in Joel Brunker. Cameron Hammond also shows promise but is being bought along slowly.

Dwight Ritchie/Renold Quinlin/Jake Carr/Jeff Horn/Andrew Maloney/Jason Maloney/Stevie Lovett and I'd ad Jack Brubaker after watching him for the first time on free to air I think that's how you spell his name he's got talent to burn also

Re: Who are the locals showing the most promise going forward??
Blake Caparello is prime at the moment and could still do good things.
Re: Who are the locals showing the most promise going forward??
Rocky Jerkic is another who is a great talent. Hope he gets to realise his full potential.
Re: Who are the locals showing the most promise going forward??
Problem with him, I seem to be inserting him into shows, only to remove him 2 weeks before the show for various reasons. Some promoters give reason, some don't.fox wrote:Rocky Jerkic is another who is a great talent. Hope he gets to realise his full potential.
Re: Who are the locals showing the most promise going forward??
Hopefully Kye Mackenzie can get back on track after his shock loss to Asis. An exciting all action fighter I had high hopes for, Matt Gartlett too but he seems to have faded away since losing to Kye.

Lenny Zappavigna is still only 27 and is 33-2. One of his losses was to the highly respectable Miguel Vazquez for the IBF title. Handy fighter Zappa and should have plenty still in the tank if he chooses. But he has just fallen short against the top guys.

That would have something to do with his management team. Doesn't change the fact that he is a great talent.AntonS wrote:Problem with him, I seem to be inserting him into shows, only to remove him 2 weeks before the show for various reasons.

Rohan Murdock is part of our pack of promising super middleweights alongside Caparello, Dunn, Carr and Quinlan.
Murdock's win last week takes him to 18-1 and at 23 he appears to have a bright future.

Re: Who are the locals showing the most promise going forward??
We are very light on in the lower weight divisions at the present time. Historically we have been strong in the bantamweight division for instance. But the cupboard is almost bare down there at the moment.
In the super bantamweight division we have a couple of guys travelling alright, neither of whom I am familiar with >>>
Queensland born Jason Cooper 23 and 14-2-1.
Irish born, NSW situated T.J. Doheny 28 and 12-0.
Anyone who much about these guys??

Re: Who are the locals showing the most promise going forward??
Know a bit about Nuggett Jason Cooper. He can fight a bit and travelling along nicely. Hard to say whether he will go to the next level until he fights at that level. Was matched with a former WBA champ but it got cancelled with an injury of some sort.Redback Rasta wrote:We are very light on in the lower weight divisions at the present time.

The penny finally dropped for me on Cooper. He is the guy with the brightly coloured tattoos all over the front of him. Saw his picture in a magazine a while back but didn't make the connection between the picture and his Boxrec record,fox wrote:Know a bit about Nuggett Jason Cooper.

Re: Who are the locals showing the most promise going forward??
Did some homework on T.J. Doheny.
Ireland born. Knew that. What I didn't realize was T.J. began his amateur career at 11 and had over 200 amateur fights - including 40 times internationally - and won 5 national titles. He arrived in Australia at age 21 and continued with the odd amateur fight here over the next few years before turning pro at 25, in 2012.
Doheny is now 12-0 in the pro ranks and the current holder of the PABA title. He will defend the title against former WBA world flyweight champion and former longtime PABA champion Denkaosan Kaovichit on October 3rd.

Anthony Buttigieg now 7-0 and has some reasonable scalps on his belt including Benny Capps twice and Fed Tukes.

Got a good match up coming up on the Mundine undercard. He's coming up against veteran Samuel Colomban.Redback Rasta wrote:Anthony Buttigieg now 7-0 and has some reasonable scalps on his belt including Benny Capps twice and Fed Tukes.

Agreed a really good matchup for Butters. I notice Colomban hasn't had a fight for well over a year as well.

Hammond keen now to fight the winner of Sam Eggington and Frankie Gavin for the Commonwealth title.

Re: Who are the locals showing the most promise going forward??
The stars may have aligned for Cameron.
Frankie Gavin has withdrawn from his Commonwealth welterweight challenge against Sam Eggington due to a foot injury. Gavin has revealed he was run over a fortnight ago and the injury, coupled has impact on his training schedule, has left him with no choice other than to pull out.
Eggington now needs a new challenger for the October 17 Birmingham Barclaycard Arena card and his Commonwealth title.
11 days? Could Cameron he get the call-up?

Ouch! That's gotta hurt.
“In the next couple of days we’ll have a meeting to see what’s happening about a new date. I’m 100 per cent confident of beating Sam Eggington” - Frankie Gavin.
