Why?
What does Trent get out of this?
Enhance reputation.......No
Enhance Skill........No
Pad record.........Yes
Enhance ranking.........No

When the average fighter fights @ 3 times a year (in a good year) why waste one of those slots on Nader?

It's just the way it is with some Aussie promotors I'm afraid. And we wonder why they get KOed when they eventually front up to a world rated opponent

Trent has another fight in March and is fighting on the Green-Mundine card for exposure(and money).

So he gets money and exposure.

Yeah I get it. Thanks

I have some real concerns regarding this bout and the long term health implications for Nader. I hope i am proven wrong but he didnt offer much in his last outing against Hooper and was handily belted over the distance. I can see it happening again, with someone I rate a bigger puncher. I don''t see any positivity for Nader or Trent. Hopefully the ref (he could play a big part so i hope it's one of our more competent third men in the ring) keeps a close eye on Nader and stops it before he takes too much punishment. Guys with Nader's heart often have to be saved from themselves.

Don't know about anyone else , but i find it hard to get excited or even support , guys like Broadhurst , who are making a carreer out of these fights ,, Hooper - Broadhurst - Blake , Cappe... would get me thinking , yeh thats worth paying for , but they just don't happen and they should

Agree 100%. Trent has talent but i dont see Nader being a step up. On another topic i posted how disappointed i was in the undercard, thinking they (Boxa / Green Machine) had an opportunity to match up guys like Broadhurst, May and others with top notch opponents but they didnt. I appreciate some of our talent is on the card I just dont feel they are great match ups.
