kali meehan v shane cameron
wat do youse think

Kali by KO in 4.

I think Cameron needs to get his problems with cuts fixed (i believe he's talking to specialists) before he takes on Kali, otherwise it could be even uglier than his last fight

IMO kali would be way to experienced of an operator for him and much taller.. camerons biggest asset is his pressure and i just couldnt see him getting close enogh to put pressure on, by the 6th round his face would be covered in blood and be in dire need of some stitches

I heard yesterday thar Kali may have a world title shot soon.

hope so ay.. why does don king sign these fighters then give them bugger all fights? is it so he can control the supply and demand

Yeah I read something about that. I think it was against Ruslan Chagaev. If it is it would be good for Kali, but Ruslan has a hard head, Kali may need to outbox him.

Would it be a huge fight down here? Two decent names but I'm still not sure it would get a whole heap of mainstream media attention...


Oh I would tip Kali BTW.

The top heavyweight in Australia against the top heavyweight in New Zealand. Should draw attention.

Might get a bigger crowd in Auckland.

I guess the Kiwi Aussie thing might play but they are not well know to the general public...

Kali got a lot of publicity when he beat Williamson. Cameron is big in Kiwiland. They could draw a crowd.

Meehan's next fight is a ten rounder against Croatian Mario Preskar on the Valuev-Lyakhovich card on February 16. Preskar, who is 6'1" and usually weighs around 220 pounds, has a 16-0-2 record against fighters I have never heard of.

Yeah and I had never heard of Preskar either... I can only assume it is a 'stay busy' fight for Meehan (which is lucky considering he is a Don King fighter and he is known for keeping his fighters inactive). Will we get to see this fight?

Considering that it will probably be about 9am, AEDT when the main event starts, I somehow doubt it. ARD are the broadcaster.

It is a judgement at Nuremberg for one of them.

preskar is light and woefully inactive

Kali should KO

Francesco Pianetta is fighting Donnell Wiggins for the vacant WBC Youth Heavyweight title on the same card.

Youth title? Isn't that under 23? Pianetta is 23 and Wiggins is 27!

WBC. Who Bloody Cares.

Now it has changed and Meehan is fighting the fading Jeremy Bates. Bates is all of 179cm tall and has lost more than he has won. The matchmaker should be shot.

Why the change? Did Preskar just pull out? Even though I had never heard of him I still think he is a better option than Bates... :)

Who knows? maybe Preskar just saw what Meehan did to Williamson.

Meehan KOs Bates in three and the inbreds who do the ratings for this site drop him nine places. How does that work?

My mistake. They dropped him ten places.

Yeah I was wondering about that as well. Does it have something to do with the difference in rating between the two fighters or something (so a win against a scrub actually counts against you)?

God knows. The WBA rates him much more favourably.

Meehan got beaten over the weekend by super scrub Jeremy Bates,
