StClair's effort was above average at best. Beaten in the fisrt two rounds, he showed why moderately skilled opposition will test him, and why decent opposition have a good chance against a former world champ. I hope Kickett 'gets well soon'. He must be chomping at the bit to get hold of the under-confident StCair.

there are big wraps on kickett by people that matter. to even consider fighting st clair after willie has only had 10 pro fights, says something about how good he is considered to be.

St Clair treated last night's six round fight as a training run. He blocked most of Paderna's punches and did just enough to win. I like Kickett, but I would give him a few more fights before throwing him in against an ex-champion. I still remember how Stadiums Limited brought Luis Rodriguez, a former World Welterweight champ who had won 1 out of 3 against Emile Griffith in 1963, to Australia to fight Tony Mundine. They looked at "El Feo's" birth certificate and ignored his 109-4-0 record. Anyway, the fight started with Tony attacking Luis, only to be knocked down with a two punch combination. Tony got up with a stunned look on his face only for Luis to throw four haymakers, the first two missed, the next two did not. Tony went down and stayed down. It was all over in 52 seconds.

Ex-champs have a bad habit of turning it on when it matters.

Yeah thats all well but StClair cant crack an egg and he has lost the past few times he has stepped up. Im going out on a limb here but i think Kickett will be the first to KO StCair as he will be far to big and strong for him.

Anyone heard anything on cool willies Arm.Has it healed?

i think its to early for him to fight st clair

Zappa wouldnt last 1 round IMO.

I think Kickett is fighting on Fenechs undercard.

Zappa beat Kicket as an amatuer.
I've seen both fight it would go past the first.

I reckon thats the crux of the matter. StClair has no power to speak of. OK maybe this shouldn't be his next fight, but within the next couple. It would be a good indicator to see if Kickett has what it takes to take on the world.

If Gairy is Kicketts next fight Willie will get owned. Tommy Browne looked good for a couple of rounds against Kickett after a long layoff and coming up in weight. Gairy is a class fighter and his Lightweight loss to Khan won't mean too much against Kickett...

After yakubu, I agree with Toppity that St Clair would be a good choice. He's experienced, cagey, probably on the down slope but not too far and is a light puncher. I think Kickett could win but even if he didn't it would be a great learning fight where he could step it up without too much risk of a shellacking.

It's Good to see a kid going through the ranks the way he's suppose to.

Every fight in his last three have been good steps towards improving as a fighter.


I really believe he is a future champion.

the adam wills vs charlie vella fight should be a ripper.

Why?

because they have fought twice before and from what i can remember the fights were full of action. and the score is 1-1.

how's that?

Fair enough, I'm not a big fan of Vella...

I have to agree, the last fight I watched of his I ended up yelling at him via the TV. He seemed too inactive.

i agree about vella. but he looked good in his first couple of fights so i don't know why the decline in form. anyone see him fight in the last year or so that can shed light on this. just too inactive in most of them?

perhaps he's partaking of too much of his dads ....product ? 8)

I've watch Zappa fight, against limited opposition, and i think that Kickett is slicker than Lenny. He has more power than Willie, but i think he would struggle class-wise. Lenny has only been in with two fighters with winning records in his 13 fights. Having said that, it wouldn't be a bad fight though.

I'm with ben k, kicket would be too good for zappa
