still only one fight in the usa and nothing scheduled.

why is he so inactive, anybody know if he is injured or something?

1 fight in a year is not encouraging if he is gunna make a dent in the rankings.

he was starting to look good too.

Isn't he with Don King? He is known lately for keeping his fighters inactive...

I injured my right hand in prep for my usa fight, i continued to train with it for the fight and at the don king training camp where i also injured my left hand, pain killers helped me for a while but eventually i decided to rest them because they just kept getting worse, the same injuries from 2005 when i had time off, dk has offered me fights regularly but i was injured, some really great opportunities went by which was frustrating but i am now fighting april 19 in usa and back into training injury free, sparring in perth with pieter cronje and ryo hidaka

Is your brother fighting Andrew Green on the Dawson card ?. Just wondering mate as it will be a great fight if it happens.

Thanks for first hand info Mark. I'm keen to see who you are fighting, I've been checking from time to time.

thanks for the response.

figured there had to be a good reason.

onward and upward from here hey.

very interesting times for our heavies coming up.

Yeah i agree Buster, which domestic heavyweight match ups do you want to see?

I want to see Solo v Briggs and Leapai v DeMori.

Little tweety bird told me Solo Haumono vs Alex Leapai is in negotiations...would be an interestesting fight. ;;-)

Solo and Leapai are both Samoan so i doubt it will happen as Alex has a tendency to not fight his Samoan brothers. Although i could be wrong.

i've heard that on this forum before as well.

Can wait to see Briggs v Kirby. Should be o.k. But more importantly it might also show how much Nathan has come on under Paul's influence.

How good is it to have Mark posting again!

hounddog,

hopoate vs cronje would be a good workout for hoppa,

i'd like to see the winner of solo vs alex fight the loser of cameron vs tua. i realise it may be tough but these guys need the hard fights soon to see where they are at. it wouldn't even do much harm if they were to lose. as long as they didn't get smashed of course.

Yeah i would agree with that. Great for boxing if it does happen.

Could be more than a workout. Cronje is unpredictable and has some real ability.

So Mark will you be fighting under Don King from here on end?

hi ben,
i was offered a fight with green on the show last week by daniel dawson as powerdill pulled out with me due to not being able to make weight issue so i know they r still looking for opponent for andrew(well last week anyway).im a sup middle so i wasnt rushing in with any naturally bigger guys at this no reward stage.

No Solo is Tongan & Leapai is Samoan who's calling out both solo & hoppa, Yes i heard from a very close friend of mine in Hoppas camp that Leapai vs Haumono are in negotiation which i see would be Australia's heavyweight fight of the year & yep just like solo & hoppa, Leapai won't fight his Samoan brothers just like David Tua quoted the same when he was suppose to fight James Thunder.

Hey demori why dont you take on hoppa on the leapai vs solo on the same night it'll be sure to be PPV if taken place atleast you & leapai can meet in sparring.

No worries mate,
Its just that Eric challenged Green to fight him. So i thought it might be on this card coming up. Possibly later on down the track it could happen.

I would like to know when Mark De Mori can step up to our Aussie fighters ?
JOHN HOPOATE?
ALEX LEAPAI?
COL WILSON?
SOLO HUAMONO?
BOB MIROVIC?
MICHEAL KIRBY?
NATHAN BRIGGS?
BRIAN FITZGERALD?
I read a post from MARK that said to advance his carreer but what about our Aussies first if you cant beat our good Aussies how can you beat overseas opponents maybe Digger is on his mind!
