50 year old Big Bob Mirovic in ring return

Post by Redback Rasta »

I really hope someone is taking the piss here. But Big Bob Mirovic, who will turn 50 prior to the event, is listed to fight a 6 rounder on February 27th in Boondall, Queensland.

Big Bob made his pro debut way back in May 1987, nearly 30 years ago, and prior to most of our pro boxers having been born.

Bob has been involved in some absolute wars along the way against the likes of a veritable whos who of Australian and international boxing, winning national and international belts along the way.

This February 27th fight isn't in anyone's best interests and shouldn't be allowed to happen.

Big Bob, about to crack the big "five o", must be bonkers to consider getting into the ring again, after a five year absence, where he last fought mediocre opposition for two wins.

Previous to that he fought Alex Leapai was was bombed out in a round. Before Alex, he fought a brace of fights against John Hopoate, being stopped in one fight and then losing badly on points in the other, where he put on the worst display of clinching, wrestling and holding to stay the distance in what was an awful fight.

If the officials dont put a lid on this (but remember we are talking Queensland here), Bob, please give this idea of stepping back into the ring away pronto, for your health's sake!

Hopefully if this happens it's against someone hopeless. Why is Jamie Myer even contemplating this after Brayd Smith and Davey Browne?(and they were young and healthy)hopefully fans boycott this farce. 50 years old inactive 5 years FFS. :doh:

Good onya bob mate....i reckon it'll end quicker than a Sheila and a cheating dunny rat husbo. The 4x will be on me mates this salvo if bob gets through this bloke.

Mundine blowing up bigger than kylies bum and facing big bob in a freak show would be good too.

Good onya mates!

That danny williams -bob mivrovic fight showed bob was world class level.i was in that crowd that fight.bob was so big and intimidating he was crowding danny and i thought this is gonna be a huge upset .than williams,who was seriously talented if lacking confidence and conditioning put on an incredible flurry of punches to suddenly end it.

Great guy bob i reckon even at 50 he"ll beat a few blokes and do well

I'd be happier to see him sitting back & telling his kids & grandkids about the night he went the distance in an 8 rounder with Nikolai Valuev.

@francis75

Sorry i was a little late with a reply mate, had a bloody croc running around on the farm.i had to fire a few rounds get the bloke to rack off....fair go youve got a good point

But the aussie hw scene has always been different.real classy older technicians like aussie joe bugner beating blokes at 48 -50 told me a lot about what kinda fighter he must have been in the 70s.

Bobs obviously a totally different and limited brawler but big tough and ill be stuffed if the two can be compared even the older version of joe.....but theres something about bob....i dunno ....hes got a presence...and i could see him putting away a couple a younger mongrels....aussie heavyweights have always been tough.

Take justin fortune....the other night i was having the old amber fluid over youtube....and justins just a big tough 25 -30 year old aussie fella but strewth those 5 consecutive left uppercuts from lennox just 1 would have floored another bloke but justin took em fair dinkum

Apparently Bob has got his license back in Qld. Not sure who they are going to throw him in with. Pretty sure Hunter Sam would have a crack.

I cornered Hunter Sam when he fought at The Melbourne Pavillion down here about 14 months ago, I think it wouldn't end well for Big Bob at this stage of the game.

Bob has had a lot of fights. You can't just throw him in with a novice. Hunter is a good fighter. If he is talking about winning Australian title again, he would have to beat someone like Hunter.

IF Big Bob even fights for an Australian title it says more about the state of the Heavyweight division in this country than it does about Bob himself.

Oh, look who it is, the Australian boxing forums' biggest fuckwit, the gutless, faceless try hard :roll: My job was to equip a man who had come to Melbourne with nothing more than his mouth guard and shorts, learn (in a very short amount of time) about his opponent, convince a mate of mine, the best hand wraps guy at the show, to wrap his hands, warm him up, apply the vas etc. then run the corner (I had another mate hold the spit bucket) watching the fight and giving instruction between rounds, chief cornerman, you retard.

I think scum like you should have to expose your true identity before you're allowed to post, lucky you aren't forced to.

Settle down Berries we all know how wonderful you are. Fair enough you cornered some young tiger in his boxing match. I always found it strange how you didn't corner your good friend Sam Solimans when he had his middleweight trinket and defended against Jermain Taylor in the USA. Why was that ?

That was actually the same date, I was looking after Heath Ellis while part of the team was in the states looking after Sam.
Do you have something to add in reguards to Bob Mirovic, something pertinent to the thread perhaps, or maybe even an opinion as to Bob Mirovic vs Hunter Sam? If not, then good day to you.
