Good to see a dedicated Aussie boxing board.

I am not Australian but spent quite a bit of time there last year and so grew interested in the scene.

Australian boxing needs all the help it can get, as its profile is miniscule compared even to British boxing. NOTHING on terrestrial TV, precious little in the papers and internet, and no household names save for Mundine and Green (I saw Soliman in his home town of Melbourne and even he was all-but anonymous).

So thanks for creating this board and helping a struggling boxing nation get a little more publicity.
