He fought just a little while ago on the same card that Tauasa KO'd Tutaki in two. Jed also scored a KO but in three and he still hasn't faced anyone with anything even approaching a winning record...

Tiger got stopped 2 by habitual loser Ariel Omongos in May. Since then he has had KO wins against Lee Hunter & Jakklit Eusampan, who had three fights and no wind between them.
As go great Turkish fighters, he is no Kemal Attaturk :(

Damn, I didn't see him get stopped by Omongos but that must have been bad...

il admit to being a little ignorant of both these fighters and their acheivements (or lack there of), but could that stoppage have something to do with ariel fighting closer to his natural weight? instead of 5-10 kilos heavier. I recently read an article in some boxing magazine with dido bohol who trains most of the fillipinos who live in aus and he said something along the lines of " they can get competitive match ups in the phillipines, but they are payed 200 a round in australia so they fight in mismatches". i think this is a crying shame because if some of these boys fought at their natural weight they could be extremely good i.e ranee ganoy

He was between lightweight and super lightweight. Because both fighters were under 10 stone and Syger was KOed, a regional WBF title helf by Syger passed to Omongos. Omongos has not bothered defending it, moving up to fight for other titles. The fight before that he was just over super featherweight for a fight with Mohammed Elomar, lately he has been between super lightweight & welter.
Everywhere and nowhere.
