Aus Amatuer World Championships Team

[Super_Fly_Sam]

Anyone know whos in it??

all i know is that from reading The World Of Boxing that Jimmy Ceapa is the 51kg rep for winning the gold at the Oceanic games....

and id say that Todd Kid will be in to coz he won a gold as well i think...

but other then that i dont know...

[Super_Fly_Sam]

u guys suck when it comes to info on the Ams

[Dekkers]

Will it be the same group of guys that competed at the commonwealth championships in liverpool? Matthew Corbett will probably be there as well then.

[WhataRock]

Wasnt the Selection trials in march for the Oceania Games also for the World championships??

I imagine whoever performed well at the Oceania Games goes on to the World Championships.

I think we got 5 gold and 3 silver.
Jarrod Fletcher, Brad Pitt and Luke Boyd got Gold too from memory.

[WhataRock]

Id love to see Todd Kidd turn pro after Beijing.

Not sure how he would go but I really want to see, because he has been a top amatuer consistenly for some time now. Much like Pittman was.

[Super_Fly_Sam]

Yeah im pretty sure Jarrod Fletcher, Brad Pitt and Todd Kid are in,

and as for seeing Todd Kidd turn pro, i agree he has been consistantly at the top for ages so after Bejing, why not... after the games therew wouldn't be anything left for him in the ams, he's won the state and aus titles, went to the Oceania championships... id say he'd be the world rep so whats left after the games???...

but i've only seen him fight once so i dont know if he'd be any good in the pros... but then again lots of people have gone pro with alot less of a am resume then Todd has....

What about Jarrod Fletcher as a pro maybe after the games???.... hes done a bit in the am game too.

[OZ Puncher]

Jarrod Fletcher is Beatable, Brad Pitt is beatable, Todd Kidd is very beatable. I hope they turn pro too they've done as much as the can.

[Super_Fly_Sam]

Jarrod Fletcher is Beatable, Brad Pitt is beatable, Todd Kidd is very beatable. I hope they turn pro too they've done as much as the can.

yeah from what i have seen (1 of his fights lol) he looked like he had that sorta flash over confident hands down type style... those guys are usually always beatabe. but i dont really know bout him

[WhataRock]

They are our best though.

Rating them against Russians, Cubans and other former bloc states they dont do so well yeah but they still get some good wins.
We did pretty well in the last commonwealth cup thingy.

Aussie's are more suited to the pros because its just a cultural thing to be blood and guts rather than clinical, thats why Bobo has had such a hard time changing our attitudes and styles. Definitely we still got a system that is run by guys who learned their craft when am boxing was a lot more like pro than it is today.
I know he had issues with Katsidas and you can see why, wouldnt be suprised if thats why Lenny Zapp went pro so early.

[Super_Fly_Sam]

Yeah no doubt the guys running the show now learned boxing long ago...

Like Aurther Tunstell he's been around for ages but has had his run he needs to go...

[Thriller]

ive spared todd, and he is better than any pro ive spared before.

[huricn]

Yeah no doubt the guys running the show now learned boxing long ago...

Like Aurther Tunstell he's been around for ages but has had his run he needs to go...

spot on. its time for aurther to go and take paul towell with him.
i love going to amatur nights but the way it is run in nsw is very dis heartning for the young guys coming thru

[Super_Fly_Sam]

Man there aint no doubt about it...

Aurther makes it fucking hard for us to get fights out where i am.. with his rules bout ABA fighters not being able to fight in da boxing League... we gotta travel hours for fights and theres gonna be a fight night in my hometown in about a month and a bit but i gotta sit it out coz its league.. fucking bullshit the ABA and League need to just get everyone the same record card and let them fight both...

[BoppaZoo]

ive been waiting for Brad Pitt to turn Pro for ever. as he impressed me at the last Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.

[WhataRock]

To be honest Im a little sceptical about how well Pitt will do.
Really good over the 4 rounders but I think he will struggle when fights get longer and more gruelling, his style can be a little uneconomical.

[BoppaZoo]

[WhataRock]

And especially an injection into the heavyweight ranks.

Big Bob can only carry the division a little longer for serious boxers, the ex footy players are showing their limitations. Though Sol is starting to get a foothold.

I wouldnt mind seeing a bit more of Shane Cameron on our shores, he is a kiwi but he is the kind of fighter you like to watch.

[solankie]

Will Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ever admit they had an Affair? It is becoming a little disgusting that they just avoid the question, Everyone knows. They both suck in my opinion!

Who do you blame SFS?????

NSW selection manipulation over the last 30 years??

Lack of advertising in magazines, newspapers or press in general???

Break-away amatuer bodies???

..or all above?

[Hmmm]

geeee talk about resurecting an old thread!

[cookie the carr]

i think CORBETT has quit the game.

old ARTHER is to busy skimming money out of N.S.W boxing, there should be an I.C.A.C report into it he's been there to bloody long.

lol

i blame all of the above.. Am boxing gets no where near the amount of advertising or funding or enough of anything really...

it deserves much much more... its probly just the whole people are worried am boxing is unsafe problem....

sure am boxing has its risks but so does every other sport!!

[bushboy]

I think your right that hes been there to long, at my old amateur club one of the trainers got into an argument with a member of arthurs boys club over a decision and as a result none of the griffith pcyc boys got an association fight for ages
