What on earth are they thinking of?

On Sunday June 16 at the Italian Club, Perth, Pieter Cronje is fighting Roy Sio in the main prelim.

Cronje is 8-2 with 4 KOs. His losses were in his second fight and against South African champion Osborne Machimana. I can find no record of Sio fighting anywhere.

Mismatch, or attempted murder?

Cronje whooped Wilson a while back. I wouldn't mind seeing him again. I have never heard of Sio though. What sort of name is that, Islander? I wonder if Anton can tell us a bit more about him? Is it his fighting debut or has he previously competed in combat sport other than boxing?

Cronje stopped Brian Fitzgerald in three rounds on May 30. It was a TKO but Big Brian was out on his feet when the referee stopped it. When Cronje hits them they tend to stay hit.

I just hope Green Machine promotions get back in the game. There is another promotion listed that has Daniel Dawson v Joshua Okine and Mark DeMori v (cant think of it) but they are both decent fights. Fingers crossed boxing survives in this state!!

I agree - Was the Daniel Dawson v Joshua Okine and Mark DeMori Vs bla a Green/Mac promo?

Promotor is Ron Parr.

A good card could be built around this.

Dawson goes better when he's with Ron Parr. He must be back in the fold as Ron's promoting this card.

yeah I hope Ron builds a good card around these two good fights. The fighters and the fights are out there as we see with Kickett v St Claire, I just hope for some good boxing cards in the future.

It seems the Cronje/Sio fight has been abandoned. Perhaps sanity prevailed.
