57kg Ibrahim Balla
60kg Kane Gruer
64kg Qamil Balla

75kg Damian Hooper
81kg Steve Lovett

Think I read somewhere recently Rock that Brad Pitt has, or is about to turn pro?

There was a fair bit of talk about that a while back..but I havent really been following it to be honest.

It would make sense with all the others from that class turning pro recently.

looks good lots of new names.... Im guessing Luke Boyd would be the captain...

only thing that rings a bell about the team is i have this thought that i recall reading somewhere that Damian Hooper was knocked out at the Aus championships last year by another AIS boxer

Was looking through the selection trials for the world champs Coulda and Pitty was in them but lost in the final to Niemann.

Seems like a good motivation to turn pro.

I thought Bryan johnson was the aus champ at 75?

Just noticed Brad Pitt will be making his pro debut against Kiwi cruiser Shaun Salisbury in Melbourne 25th Sept.
