I wont argue with a draw. But Solo proved to me that he hasnt got the mongrel to compete consistantly on the world stage. He just goes through the motions. He did dig deep to win the 2nd half of the fight which was good, but he cant go any further than the aussie scene. Put Hoppa's mongrel in him and u might have something.

I think his power might be overrated.

BTW that goose Andy Raymond had Solo in great shape, i personally thought that was the heaviest i've ever seen him, maybe a bit of extra weight slowed him down and affected his power........ just a thought.

Tonight i think reinforced the idea for me that sitting at ringside is not always the best place to judge a fight....Lenny Zapp easily beat Gairy, but frankly he didnt land f all whilst doing it..Judging from the boys at ringside all the ooohs and aaahs..you think St Claire would be spending a night in Campbelltown Hospital tonight....Overall enjoyed the card though and happy enough to spend money for it.

03-11-2009, 10:26 AM
While i didn't see the fights myself, after reading the rd by rd here it is now crystal clear that Haumono will do nothing past the domestic scene in boxing. No disrespect to Colin Wilson, but he is just an old journeyman who has been stopped 13 times in 24 losses.If Haumono had it in him to go anywhere in the world of boxing then he should be blowing away the like of Couser and Wilson without hardly breaking a sweat.

WhataRock
03-11-2009, 10:36 AM
Sol is no world beater and never will be...But ill hand it to him, he came back at Wilson and adjusted like you will rarely seen any fighter do against Col. He showed a little more chin, ticker and stamina then I thought he had...Keep in mind I have never ever been that impressed by Sol, he is no more then just a tad above domestic level.

I had about 1000 XXXX but I thought ZAP won every round......he was very good.....Gairy started to fight last 2 or 3 rounds :huh....his first 8 or 9 was spent taking big shots.

ZAP has one of the best 3 punch combos in boxing.....double left rip to the side then left hook upstairs.....very fast....very powerful......sweet

Dib went well.....better than his last fights.....ZAP would beat him and cool Willie I think.

Yes totally dominant as was Dib.Dont know how that was a SD.Good to see Shane Mosley commentate nice guy Shane he got pinged for steroids.Silly as he didnt need them. Danny Green since his doco really pisses me off he voice and fake smile makes me fell like someones attached a 5kg weight to my sack with bulldog clips.Whinning like a little slut about being weight drained and having to lose 3kg of muscle mass when the truth is he could not beat the weakest SMW champ and was embaressed by Mundine and now he sees no problem with Mundine jumping 2 divisions to fight him :-(.
A good card over all. Zappa was the standout IMO

I don't know, they well could be, but Briggs must be thinking - I fought for real titles against a live champ (getting paid considerably less in much more entertaining fights) and convincingly beat the guy you beat for a title, and now you're getting another shot at Mundine while you've never offered me the fight nor has Mundine for that matter.

Basically talent/performance < hype.

Ofcourse, only my opinion, that's just the way I felt as they were talking alongside each other. Perhaps I'm just getting a little too worked up on behalf of Briggsy! :lol:

Yeh, the gods certainly smiled more on Green than Briggs. I dont consider Briggs never being World champ a tragedy, but i consider the fact that he was never able to cash in with some decent fights in the States after the 2 Adamek fights a tragedy.

And just on Mundine, i remember Khoder being interviwed before a Choc fight and Briggs was saying how there's so many exciting mathups out there and he went through some names and mentioned himself, Khoder cut him off and said, "Briggs Mundine? Briggs Mundine?, where do we sign". And Briggs just changed the subject.
Thats the first time ive heard Khoder publicly jump at a fight instead of giving the usual "make it worthwhile and we'll consider it" crap.

Great to have seen such a fantastic fight night featuring some of the best aussie talent. We are in for a few really golden years. I thought Zap rose to the occasion again and I look forward to a title tilt real soon. St Clair is a little beyond it i think but i admired his courage. Dib was aggressive, a little like the kid of old. he showed a lot more maturity than I've seen in a wwhile. davey browne showed some heart but was totaly outclassed on the night. i hope we see more good stuff from him in the future. Sol looked like he needed some serious fitness work. and as for Geale, i feel a little sorry for the bloke. he is a world champion but almost unheard of. Maybe the Mundine fight will be an opportunity for him to stamp some authority. well done to grange for putting it on and to the boxers who made it all happen. can't wait for the next big fight night of this calibre.

Please don't refer to Geale as a world champion. We all know his IBO belt means nothing. He hasn't fought anyone at all yet. Good luck to the bloke for taking the step up against Mundine. If he gets through that and then progresses to win a genuine world belt then we can say he is a world champion, certainly not at this stage.

It annoys me how fighters like Green won the title agaist Stipe, while Briggs fought the next level up against adamek for the title and lost.

Where certain fighters are "world champs" fighting not world champ caliber opposition, whereas other fighters fight legit champ and lose.

Yes it was a brilliant post but take it a step futher Francis, all these guys running around calling themselves "champ" means fuck all really mate unless they have unified the division, just imagine if all the major ABC's let alone the fringe org's went down the WBA's route of proclaiming TWO "Champs " per weight lol what a mess , One World , One Weight , One Champ .

Well said. That's what I was trying to get at.

Thanks,

like Rocky Juarez fought chris John for the title, while robert guererro beat spend abizzi for a world title.
Or even jorge linares fighting whyber garcia for a world title WTF!

Annoying when fighters aren't bitches who fight the top guys, then the others who fight easy people for a title.

I agree. The sport has been totally ruined over the last 25 yrs or so with the introduction of the IBF in the mid 80's then WBO etc etc etc and so on and so on. Belts mean f#ck all nowadays, thats why the top fighters relinquish them at the drop of a hat to fight for more money without a belt. One audacious poster had the hide to call Daniel Geale a "world champion" earlier in this thread.:bart What a load of bollocks.

What counts nowadays in boxing is your resume (who you have beaten and who has beaten you). Belts, undefeated records pale into insignificance when you are embarrassed for people to see your resume.

Despite the alphabet titles creating many world champions as opposed to one, how hard would it be in this day and age to have one world champ per division.

Given many champs only have 2 defenses or 3 if they are quite active, per year, there were be 25 contenders and only 2-3 title fights per year.

The major sanctioning bodies should come to some sort of compromise that allows for more unification fights, such as, if a fighter has many x amount of defenses, they must unify with enough division.

Kinda tricky and kinda confusing, but it would be great if such a deal could be struck.

Yeah... just like the 'Green' dreamers believed Danny would. Briggs was a great fighter, no doubt... Mundine would have been too much at SM/W.

Hey Flamengo. you do have more boxing knowledge than most of us put together. But who the hell has Mundine ever beat that would last 3 rnds with Adamek? In my mind - no one. Ok so we can quibble about weight but.......I stand by my intial statement. It's a fantasy matchup in the end but a Briggs who was comfortable at SMW would have scared the pants off Mundine

I saw some photos of a mundine-briggs spar and briggs did look a little touched up to be honest. But I think a real fight would pan out differently.

Shannon Taylor holding the WBF belt a few years ago in the ring claiming it to be his greatest achievement to have gotten a world title in the sport he loves is way worse then Geales title..lol

I remember Taylor saying how proud he was to win the world title and that now his dad can tell his mates at the pub how his son is world champ:deal..

I wonder who his dad says he beat for that title:huh..After his 5th schooner its probably Mike Tyson.

Yeah it makes the situation worse when a boxer is calling himself a "world champion" when they have a WBF belt and beat some nobody for the belt. FFS Chad Bennett had the WBF 147 belt yrs ago. Can he call himself a "world champion". AS IF. The knowledgeable people such as the majority of posters on here know that Taylor, Geale, Bennett, Mundine etc etc have never been a world champion but the general sports fan in the pub doesn't know the difference. When they watch Geale-Mundine and Geale walks to the ring with one of his handlers carrying his IBO world title belt above his head they will think that Mundine and Geale are fighting for a genuine middleweight world title when in reality it couldn't be further from the truth.

In my opinion Birggs going to war with Adamek twice is so much more of an achievement than anything Green or Mundine have done or ever will do. It also suggests to me that Briggs heart would make all the difference in a battle with either of them.

I think Briggs let himself down with the two Adamek fights. He should have won both, but he didnt have the killer instinct he had a few years earlier. He had heart yes, but he lost the killer instinct needed to beat a top fighter like Adamek. I think all the stuff with forgiving those in his past and coming to peace with life made him lose his edge.

I agree he could have won both but didnt show enough killer instinct, just didnt throw enough

he didnt throw enough but maybe it was because adamek was throws alot of punches.

anyway this is a geale thread.......ha ha ha ... i love how we can have ten topics in the one thread in the aussie forum!!

Yeah i just felt he should have let his hands go more, and put a stop to Adamek, imo he didnt throw enough esp in the second fight.
but it is easier to say from the outside than being in there.

Also agree, lol it always happens threads getting highjacked

speaking for myself i liked and supported the guy but since his doco on fox the danny green story i have come to think the guy is a sore loser who loves himself.a couple of examples he thought he won Beyer 2 and would have got the nod anywhere but germany.claiming that having to lose 3kg of muscle mass was the reason he lost to mundine when anyone who reads these forums and boxing sites remembers how he raved on about how much better his diet,conditioning were under salas and then on the commentary of bad blood sees no problem with mundine jumping from MW to LHW saying oh he used to walk around at 90kg as a footballer(way back in 2000:patsch).
in short i think he is a two faced wanker who loves himself a bit like mundine but at least mundine is openly a wanker.

Your perception of him is totally wrong.
He comes across really humble, caring, and not arrogant like Fkn Mundine.

I don't know, they well could be, but Briggs must be thinking - I fought for real titles against a live champ (getting paid considerably less in much more entertaining fights) and convincingly beat the guy you beat for a title, and now you're getting another shot at Mundine while you've never offered me the fight nor has Mundine for that matter.

Basically talent/performance < hype.

Ofcourse, only my opinion, that's just the way I felt as they were talking alongside each other. Perhaps I'm just getting a little too worked up on behalf of Briggsy! :lol:


nah your right, i could sense it aswell there was some unease there, the way briggs asked a few questions i could see it, and fair enough too. Green bitched it big time and his story, i woke up one morning and decided i didnt want to box just after i won a world title is a load of shite. He is still feeding of mundines name, announcing a comback a day before mundines ppv. Ive lost all respect for danny green. I cant stand hearing him speak, he wont shut up and only talk about himself.
