[shanemfr]

Only problem is a name fighter is probably not looking for him.

[teke]

He has plenty of names here in Aust he can clean up before going over there. Sol, Hoppa and Co.

[one in a million]

Looks like Alex is free on the 27th May?

[Bobby]

I am fighting on the 24th of april on the undercard of Spinks-Latimore, resting my hand injuries end of last year and early this year now ready top get back into it, the money in the states is in a different ballpark and the opportunities are enormous, so i am focusing my attention there.

[Bobby]

also i had to give up fights on the holyfield valuev card in switzerland, khan barrera card in uk and campbell funeka in usa because of injuries so i have been very frustrated, but now im fit again and also booked in to fight in china later in the year, i really enjoy the travel to different countries, meeting lots of new people and getting to see the big fights and meet and train many of my heros, just like when i got to meet the macho man in my avatar.

[ashley]

Who are you fighting next in the states mate?

[Bobby]

looks like it will be jason barnett, but not 100% yet

[ashley]

Do you know much about him......do you have him covered?

He has faced better fighters than you but lost most times he fights the good guys.

[Bobby]

he has fights on youtube, nice conventional technique, like a british boxer or an amatuer, i see some strengths and weaknesses and have a strategy built around what i have seen

Sounds good mate.....on another note.....how do you think Hoppa will go?

I know your plan is to fight in the states...better money.....however do you see any value in getting the aussie title now that hoppa has a title shot?

[Bobby]

im not interested in titles, i wish hoppa the best its a great fight vs mcall but not a real title fight

[ashley]

Thats the way mate....just beat who they put infront of you and everything will take care of itself :good

I dont think Hoppa can beat McCall do you....its ok hoppa dont come on this site?

....and if he does...hi hoppa good luck :bbb

[Bobby]

i have not been able to see hoppas fights lately or mccall, so i have no idea, but its an intriguing fight. I am just fighting whoever they tell me to and if i am good enough big things will happen, I enjoy the travel as i said and im still a kid for a heavyweight so they are not rushing me despite my constant asking for big fights, my manager and dkp know better than me how to guide my career.

I bet you would have some interesting stories about dkp and the usa boxing life as well....sparring......other fighters.......behind the scenes.....got any jucy stories you can post on a public forum.......if not pm me.....i wont tell anybody :bart

[Bobby]

i got to meet many top fighters and train with a few top guys, surprised how friendly they were, i was mike mollos sparring partner for the mccline fight , but the only interesting thing is how lazy a few well known fighters are, it is amazing they have achieved what they have with their attitude to training and nutrition.

Yep we have just seen some of that with the arreloa fight on the weekend.....they look like they sit around drinking beer and eating pizza all year round.

hows your speed work coming along and what are you doing to get quicker?

[boxoncottonon]

Bobby,

they have got you listed to fight an unknown on the undercard on Friday 24 April 2009 Scottrade Center, Saint Louis, Missouri, United States.... Da Varryl Williamson V Carl Davis???

Whats with that??

[boxoncottonon]

BoxRec schedule....

[Bobby]

not sure what you mean by whats with that? i dont have an official opponent yet

[melbboy]

hi bobby just wana say im a fan of yours & just a question - What do you think of our aussie heavyweights in the domestic scene? & having a fight with the 2 former NRL boys? cheers bobby

[boxoncottonon]

"24th of april on the undercard of Spinks-Latimore"
BoxRec has you on Da Varryl Williamson V Carl Davis.
I was curious whose fight undercard, want to make sure I catch it.

[LeonMcS]

Spinks-Latimore will be on ESPN2 (Friday Night Fights), Williamson-Davis will be on Showtime. If its shown as part of the coverage I should have a copy by the Sunday.

[Bobby]

well originally i was on spinbks latimore card, maybe that has changed, will find out, MELBOY, thanks man, the aussie hvy division easily the strongest i have ever seen it unfortunately the money is still peanuts for me here. both homouno and hopoate are doing really well and help bring attention to the game because of their profiles so i think its good.

[Bobby]

btw originally williamson davis fight and spinks latimore were all on the same card

[LeonMcS]

And they still are, my mistake, that whole card will be on Showtime.

Yeah but what will they do for him/bring him on the world scene?

[Robot16]

Were the yreal bad injuries? Like they won't affect you anymore?
Also did the Macho man give you any advice?
