Steve Bunce Rips on Aussie Boxing!

[Peterp]

On the STeve Bunce boxing hour airing now, Buncey was going on about since his show is an english boxing show, he does push/hype the english fighters, then he says if it was an Australian show, he would be hyping the aussie boxers and then says but the show would only be 3 minutes long because they don't have much talent down under.

LOL was pretty funny but a clear rip on aussie boxing

[flamengo]

Goood on him... I'm glad he managed to fit that sequence in.... in between the 55 minutes of on-air advertising time.

....unless he managed to fill a complete hour with Pac/Hatton spuculatives..

[ipswich express]

He does a good job. Let's face it, the to and froms are light years ahead of us in quality of fighters. I don't think he particularly knows a lot, but he's passionate.

[LeonMcS]

Bunce continues the fine English stereotype of lack of soap and dental care.

[flamengo]

He does a good job. Let's face it, the to and froms are light years ahead of us in quality of fighters. I don't think he particularly knows a lot, but he's passionate.


......quality, or numbers of fighters?? I'd suggest numbers...

Per/population.. Oz travels pretty well, considering the number of Pro. fighter listed.

A great heritage is not to be forgotten, so... if this comic takes the piss out of us, lets take it with a 'grain of salt'.

[JOSEY WALES]

Current Aussie fighters are unheared of he in the UK with the exception of Katsidis .Pittman was sent up to challenge Sturm a year ago but its no wonder your fighters don't get recognised as world class fighters when they continue to fight against each other down under in so called Mega fights . i ain't having a go but your fighters biggest opponent is geography . You should send the likes of Pittman , Geale , kickett etc to europe in an attempt to raise their profiles & Skills ( the likes of kickett geting sparked after so much hype was fucking hilerious unlike the riot post fight ). BTW whatever Buncey says listen to half and disregard the rest ,Bunce is doing a great job with his show here in the uk ( very imformative ) ,but Buncey likes a giggle from time to time , he must have thought you Aussie had a sence of humour also . lol

Sorry flame have to disagree with you there mate , The quality of fighters up here is higher in most cases beause he qulity of opponent is in general higher .

[ipswich express]

As above.

Our history is no doubt very proud, but we're thin on the ground in terms of competition these days. That being said, we've just come out of a great run with the likes of KT, Briggs, Green etc etc.

[CarltonBlues]

Bunce talks a load of shit during the times he doesn't have Hatton, Calzaghe and Haye's dick's in his mouth. He's the UK version of Barry Michael.

[the beaver]

He has a point really.

Who do we have apart from Kats and Vic at the moment?

and i mean on a world stage

[COULDHAVEBEEN]

Quality, and more importantly depth of quality is our biggest drawback.

Agreed that per head of population we've been good over the years, but at present our few stand-outs have got no decent local opposition. That's why our bigger achievers (Vic, Katsidis etc) aren't seen here too often.

Not going to mention his name...but that's why 'he' ought to be over in the USA or UK building on his career, not fighting local hacks at home.

[CarltonBlues]

He has a point really.

Who do we have apart from Kats and Vic at the moment?

and i mean on a world stage

Who does England have other than Hatton and Haye?

[Kegsy]

Bunce should get his lovechild Amir Khan in with Katsidis.

[JOSEY WALES]

Bunce should get his lovechild Amir Khan in with Katsidis.

Maybe Kickett , both overhyped and both got questionable chins . Katsidis is way too good for Khan .

We've turned out three A-level guys in the last 20 years in Fenech, Tszyu & Vic.

None of them needed to go to Europe to achieve what they did. In fact, fighting there would have been a major step backwards for all of them.

The first tier of boxing is North America. Europe is boxing's second division.

Our best guys fight tier 1.

Fenech yes i agree ( Well done ) ,However Kostya is a Russian who learnt his trade in Russia & Vic Darchinyan is an Armenian who learnt his trade back home in Armenia , Just because they jumped ship after having a bit of sucsess in the Olympics dosen't make them Aussie , so in effect your statement backs up my opinion that a young fighter should move to europe to fight when he has beaten all in Australia , BTW whether you like it or not the scene in Europe is matching and in MOST cases out doing America for audiences when it comes to live Boxing , second tier ? No way mate , i know your feelings were hurt by my original comment but its just the way it is .

Josey me mate, you've made a good amount of sense.. even for a Brit. :rofl... Joking mate, your comments are true, and direct. Effectively, the Aust. public have been somewhat conned/drained by several talented fighters, with lacklustre career achievements on the world stage. Several hold worthwhile attempts.

Danny Green, IMO, made a genuine attempt to take serious bouts.. world title bouts O.S. Kats is a fine fighter, with an uncertain future, as few men fighting his way have long term careers.

Craig Trotter, having faught both Chris Pyatt and Michael Watson felt, the
indignity of losing a Commonwealth title to Mickey Hughes, by half a point... correct me if I'm wrong.

There's an element of risk, for all fighters, regardless of country of birth, to face whilst abroad... hence, I feel the current crop from Oz are staying home to make the available cash, and keep a career record impressive.

Robbie Peden schooled himself in the States.. will great returns..

Rick Thornberry ventured to the U.K.. boxed well against Joe Calzaghe, full credit to him, as Joe is a legend now.

Paul Briggs was another with the ability to kick goals against any seasoned Brit..

Mick O'Malley 'fluked' a Commonwealth Title against McSwain?? Must have been the intro music (the theme from 'neighbors') that baffled McSwain.

Sammy Soliman spent a long time in the UK.... the Eastman result is said to be debatable... perhaps you know more??

As it is, credibilty in the game... on all levels, is limited to 8-12 big names, at any given time, therefore, a ridiculous amount of local bouts create a degree of bias, even for the local lads with no international experience.

Your words in the previous posts have given a better balance... however, bias will endure.. Oi Oi Oi..

Cheers mate. :good

[JOSEY WALES]

As it is, credibilty in the game... on all levels, is limited to 8-12 big names, at any given time...........

Thats what im talking about , the level of comp fighting towards a world title tilt is limited within the S/Hemisphere , take Mr buisness for instance , he made a decent fist of it v Sturm for a while but post fight he returned down under fighting 6 rounders v guys who were never going to test class like him in reality , imo he would have done a whole heap better if he had decided to stay in europe fighting blokes with a tad more depth , that way he would be still in the spot light and probably knocking on the door this time next year at another attempt @ World honours with a better chance of succeding , Even a thick taffy like me can understand this . :nut :lol: gotta run , working away for a while lads . Peace .

No way mate , i know your feelings were hurt by my original comment but its just the way it is .I'm not offended by your comments. It's just that they are ignorant.

Tszyu & Darchinyan had extensive amateur backgrounds in their native countries but have fought exclusively as professionals out of Australia.

They hold Australian citizenship and I have taken great enjoyment from seeing them reach the pinnacle of the sport (an undisputed world championship) fighting out of this country.

In Vic's case, he worked the Australian club show circuit for several years to attain his no.1 world ranking. He would not be the unified world champ without the contribution this country made to his development (including the contribution made by the likes of Jeff Fenech & Billy Hussein as his trainers). To this day, his main sparring partners are the likes of Lenny Zappa, Billy Dib, Lovemore & Hussy Hussein.

The facts are if you are good enough, it's possible to reach the pinnacle of the sport fighting out of Australia. That's not a bad claim for a country that is half way around the world from the principal boxing market in the world, the US, and the second biggest boxing market, Europe.

We've turned out plenty of high quality second tier guys as well. Of course they need to get overseas experience (whether it be through fights in the US or sparring) but suggesting they need to set up shop in Europe is delusional.

Contrary to what you've suggested, plenty of overseas fighters come to Australia looking for an opportunity to launch professional careers. I think the success of the two guys I mentioned (plus plenty of others) more than indicates we're very well equipped to give it to them.

[ozziebattler]

and then says but the show would only be 3 minutes long because they don't have much talent down under.




Man the poms seriously cream in their knickers when ever they happen to be better at something then us..lol..

Poor bastards still cant get over the fact they sent their convicts over to what would eventually become the greatest country to live at in the world,whilst the are stuck in dreary old Britain.

Bunce's comment about oz boxing was as funny as it was stating the obvious..

Bet it took him and his writers 3days to think of that one liner..

I love your passion for Australia, and like you, i lived in the UK for close to 2yrs. My point is, whatever country u are attached to, of course the bias will filter through.

Ok cheif... I think you've hit you're own avatar a 'lil too much this weekend.

Firsty, ask your husband to purchase a 'dictionary'... assuming he can spell the word!!

Secondly, look the word "dictionary' up .... "you are holding it, you FUCK WIT" will be the correct reading.

Thridly, look up the word 'heritage'... then get your husband to read you 'Nye Nye' stories about the Australian boxing History.... perhaps a rude awakening will prevail... and a better understanding about the legends in our game over the last 150 years.

Forthly..... yes, we all know about Ken Buchanan.. yep.... impressive.

in closing.. fill the bottle with Omega-V's.... and come up with something substancial... and take your head out of your own kilt.

Cheers mate. :good

Good post.
Many Aus boxers can make it to the top. It's much easier for australian fighters to obtain world title shots than it is for Euro fighters, but the problem is that more often than not, our fighters don't get the adequate build up fights.

[Peterp]

British boxing has a slew of Olympians making their pro debut this year. Darren Sutherland, Tony Jeffries, Billy Ray saunders and plenty of others

THis brings excitement and injects youth into that country's boxing scene. Sure not all will become top pros, but a few will.

Australia has had no boxers from the olympics whose pro debuts are anticpated at all.

Australia needs to fix that if they want to have future champs

I know what you mean.

I remember the excitement surrounding Spike Cheney when he won the Silver at the Olympics in the 80's

Although Spike failed to go on with it at the pro level, he still had a good public platform to work from.

Mate if you don't think an Australian boxer would benifit from spending time in the Northern Hemisphere prior to having a tilt @ world title honours then your the ignorant one , also stop putting words into my mouth with the intention of swaying a disscusion your way , NO ONE said its impossible for Australia to provide a home grown genuie world champion .

Dude, I'm really not interested in comparing our fighters with yours. The reason being because I've got no interest in yours.

I'm enjoying Vic Darchinyan's reign as unified 115lb champ & look forward to seeing what he can do at bantamweight.

In terms of up & comers, I'm interested in seeing how Daniel Geale (Olympian & Cth Games gold medalist) & Lenny Zappa (Cth games medalist who Gary Shaw is interested in promoting in the US) will develop.

Both have their limitations but like I said, I'm looking forward to seeing how they go.

It's great that you have so many up & comers. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I've enjoyed watching Darchinyan's rise to the top.

We've turned out two undisputed world champions who fought their entire professional careers out of this country.

I think Britains have a very distorted view of Australian boxing by virtue of the fact most of our top guys never fought there in their primes.

Beyond the names I've mentioned, we've turned out Jeff Harding, Paul Briggs, Danny Green, Mundine, Sakio Bika, Troy & Guy Waters, Lovemore Ndou, Rocky Katsidis, Robbie Peden and Skinny & Hussy Hussein. None of them needed to build careers in Europe to achieve what they did. I'm not trying to overstate the case for our guys, but when you combine their achievements with those of Fenech, King Kostya & Vic there's a lot to be proud of. Particularly for a country that has a population half that of California.

Anyone who suggests that Australians shouldn't relish the achievements of the likes of Vic & Kostya because they happen to have come here from other countries should be condemned as far as I'm concerned.

Seeing top shelf talents like them win undisputed world championships is about as good as it gets.

I know you'd like to believe that Australian fighters need European experience in order to improve themselves. I think it's pretty clear from the names I've mentioned above that they don't.

What a steaming pile of twisted shit you have served up here again BRUVA , Where did i say it was imperitive that Aussies HAD to MOVE to Europe to improve enough to win a World title ? ( QUOTE ME THE POST )

[Bunce]

I will do an Aussie section - 3 mins or 30 mins. I have to get somebody on air but Geale, Mundine, Green will do. Fenech maybe, Harding, Bugner.
I will put right this outrage.

Adios.

What a steaming pile of twisted shit you have served up here again BRUVA , Where did i say it was imperitive that Aussies HAD to MOVE to Europe to improve enough to win a World title ( QUOTE ME THE POST )Judging by the way every post you make is riddled with spelling mistakes & grammatical errors, I'm going to assume you are a poorly educated person of low level intelligence.

If you want some of your own quotes back, how about these:

- You said Tszyu & Vic "jumped ship after having a bit of success in the Olympics". My response - Neither of them enjoyed success in the Olympics. Both of them did however have excellent amateur careers - Tszyu was world amateur champion in 1991.

- You said "having success in the Olympics doesn't make them Aussie". I say fighting their whole professional careers out of Australia & then taking out citizenship of this country makes them as Australian as anyone else. I suggest you keep your bigoted views in this area to yourself.

- You claim the sport in Europe "is matching and in most cases out doing America". I say you are delusional and kidding yourself.

- You cite guys like Pittman & Kickett as being among our best. I say these statements confirm your ignorance & lack of knowledge of Australian boxing.

In summary, you clearly know sfa about Australian boxing so why don't you do us all a favour & stfu?

Spread the word on a genuine undisputed world boxing champion.

See if you can get a scoop on who his next opponent will be while you're at it.

[JOSEY WALES]

Oh fuck im debating boxing with a grammarian now :patsch ,

Hey Bunce , Here's a few questions to ask a few Aussie fighters if a you get the chance ,

If you get Pittman on ask him why he has resorted to fighting guys that couldn't lace his gloves after he got done up by Sturm and ask him of his future plans .

If you get Cool Willie Kickett on ask him if he was surprised he got sparked out by that lebo kid ? , if he has worked out where he went wrong ? and was he bricking it during the post fight riot ? .

If you get Briggys on ask him if there is any truth in the rumour he is back in the ring helping his kid brother sparring and if he is to himsef return in a contender sort of deal ?

If you get Danny Green on ask him why he ducked that Argie fella when he had outshone Drews to claim the WBA L/heavy title ,? also if he REALLY had a vision telling him not to defend said title and fight Mundine for cash instead ? .

Speaking of Mundine, :patsch , can you ask him what he has ever done to self proclaim himself as the Best there has ever been besides getting KTFO by heavy handed Sven Ottke and running down to middle at the though of fighting kessler again ?

So why is he not a British fighter then ? Like Vic and Tszyu are Australian ?

But imo, he didn't burn the Union Jack so that he wouldn't have had to face Calzaghe, etc in the UK. The cunt was just trying to add a bit of controversy to his video clip.

Then start behaving like one.

Instead of pining over the young talent in British boxing maybe you could take more of an interest in the young talent that's come up through the Australian system.

There's a good show next Wednesday night featuring Geale, Zappa & Dibb. Instead of jerking off behind your keyboard over British Olympians, maybe you could go and support some of our blokes.

I will do an Aussie section - 3 mins or 30 mins. I have to get somebody on air but Geale, Mundine, Green will do. Fenech maybe, Harding, Bugner.
I will put right this outrage.

Adios.
Why would you want to interview Fenech (many years retired), Harding (ditto), Bugner (ditto), Geale (yet to achieve anything significant) or Mundine (dickhead) when we have a current undisputed world champion in Vic Darchinyan fighting out of this country?

You pommies really need to overcome your prejudices towards people with ethnic sounding names.

I suggest contacting Darchinyan's manager to set up an interview. Give the contact from Team Hussein (in the "Billy the Kid invites you" thread) a ring to be put in contact with him. If you can't be bothered doing that, get back to me & I'll obtain the contact details for you myself.

As for some relevant questions to ask Vic, you could inquire about:

- his extensive amateur background (he won the European Cup & beat at least one reigning Cuban Olympic gold medalist);
- what made him decide to launch a pro career in Australia?;
- some of his early pro fights that he feels contributed to his professional development (he fought former all-African amateur champ Sande Kizito three times & went 10 rounds with Alejandro Montiel);
- whether seeing Kostya Tszyu unify all the world titles in 2001 fighting out of Australia inspired him to pursue the same goal?;
- who his most likely next opponent is (out of Agbeko, Morena or Fernando Montiel). Try to get the scoop on a preferred name out of that list from either Vic or his manager.

Over to you, Bunce.

Thanks Flamer , No worries i do realise the vast majority of Aussie posters are World boxing fans and not complete drop kicks like some who post here .:good

Maybe he is a guy like me , A boxing fan who takes time out to post on an Australian Boxing forum in an attempt to gain knowledge of a boxing scene he knows little about , instead of a fuck wit like yourself who has proclaimed that your not intrested in doing the same, as for your insults regarding soap, i could "WAX" lyrical about all the great unwashed soap dodging cunts from your country that i sometimes trip over on my way to the toilets in a Fulham pub but won't as the risk of upsetting decent Australians is far outweighed by any need i have to argue with a cunt like yourself .:good

Steve Bunce on Max Kellerman.
I had a good chuckle.

Watched that clip last night, and everything he said is right. The Kellerman straring at the roof bit had me in stitches. Pity Setantas UK programmig doesn't extend to our shores.

Have to agree, Kellerman is an almighty tool.

I say they can him and get some more semi-retired/retired pugs on the commentary team, guys who have experienced the sport whereas Kellerman would pull a muscle doing up his shoelaces, he needs to piss off
