Bit of mail on Green and Katsidis...

[perfect jet]

- GBP have had further talks with Green. The race to get Hopkins has three in the line up....Green, Roy and Bute. No clear favorite according to Schaefer.

- JMM will return on May 1. Schaefer has told his matchmakers to look at a Juan Diaz rematch or Katsidis.

[sallywinder]

cheers mate.

Sakio v Allen Green is just about finalized for Feb 5 on Showtime.

[WesT]

Thanks for the info :thumbsup

[JOSEY WALES]

Bute will beat Hopkins in a boring affair , Jones needs to rewatch the Green tape and realise he is done and dusted , speaking of Danny boy Hopkins has priced himself out of the equasion apparently by insisting on 60-40 split and Greenie didn't call huis bluff like Calzaghe and ****** did back in 02 . Al green will box the piss out of Bika if he is fully fit . i like Sakio but Joe showed how limited the scorpion was when he decided to box insteadof brawl . Gutted Miranda v Steglize was called off .

[tyboa]

if JMM is only looking at fighting diaz or katsidis then katsidis is looking to be a huge chance at getting his big fight.

[JOSEY WALES]

Joe will be the only Southpaw to beat Hopkins.

Hopkins is too old mate , Lucian would prevail , and i reckon he beats the winner of the Super Six now kess has slipped .

[Rise Above]

I think its great that Katsidis is chasing the big fights but I done see him beating JMM.

[teke]

Hopkins is too old mate , Lucian would prevail , and i reckon he beats the winner of the Super Six now kess has slipped .I will say he's old when someone convincingly beats him at his current age. It would be a good fight imo.

"Now" Kess has slipped? :blood I have thought for a long time someone would own Kess like that.

I think Bute will have a good shot beat the super 6 winner but who will it be :blood

He will never be convicingly beaten Teke because he is a runner and a ducker .

Kessler will win it outright , yes you heared me right ,
then he beats Lucian Bute. before retirement .

[shiner]

katsidis needs a new manager. he will be brain dead and broke very soon.
have an easy fight in oz and make some coin then have a big fight.
not every fight needs to be a "fight of the year" contender as much as we would liek them to be.

Katsidis problem is that he is not a big name in aus so it would be very difficult for him to have a good pay day fighting here.

[roscoe]

I think Ward will win the super 6 series!

Props to Kats if he gets the marquez fight but he's way over his head there & will get stopped, simply too brave for his own good.

Bika finally gets a long awaited fight against a quality opponent, just hope ring rust doesn't become his biggest hurdle.

If Danny Green doesn't stop playing games with the hardest negotiater in the boxing world & just give him his coin, then he will unfortunately see Roy take his place against Nard. Most Americans think Roy was cheated by hand wraps or illegal punch or whatever so they still would pay to see the long awaited rematch. If that happens where does that leave Green...........Siaca........please......just sign on to fight Hopkins & be done if its not about the money & all about names.

Sakio v Allen Green is just about finalized for Feb 5 on Showtime.

Was just thinking about Allen Green this morning, thanks to Ben.K Allen has been discussed in other forums. This will be an interesting fight.

Good thread PJ.

[Dr Gonzo]

I think Green will give Sakio all he can handle...the inactivity is going to really show i reckon and Green is a better boxer with just as good power as Sakio IMO

[the beaver]

Allen Green by stoppage.............. Bika too inactive and hasn't fought a top contender for some time.

[left jab danny]

Looks like if Danny can't get bhop to sign he could fight tarver now:deal
I'd love to see that fight and Tarver has said hes more than willing to come to Australia to fight:good
Hopefully 1 of the 2 fights can be made rather than fighting Siaca.

What would be even better is that Green smashes Hopkins to pieces and then takes on Tarver down under.....then Adamek down under.....then Dawson down under...then world domination down under.....:thumbsup

[roscoe]

I'd like to see nothing more than Danny smashing Tarver but I really hope the Hopkins fight comes into play.

Nothing like a local lad fighting world class opponents in his own back yard to get the level of interest in the sport higher mate , it happend here with the likes of Calzaghe , Maccerinelli etc , the gyms are teaming with kids wanting to be the next Superstar , Wales like Australia has a proud history of providing guttsy fighters but that tradition had been flagging a tad over recent years , Australia providing World Class boxers is a win win situation all round for the sport . Just imagine the amount of kids that would be drawn to the gyms if Greenie went on a march like you just suggested .

I agree...the profile of boxing in Aus really flagged after Jeff was smash into next week.
Kostya was loved by all who embraced boxing but i dont think he inspired to many youngsters and thier parent into gyms here with his world dominating heroics. To be honest KT was seen as a bit of a boxing freak here, knocking internationals out both here and O/S.
At the turn of the centuary and before, Australia was the place for international fighters to jump on a ship and sail to for big fights with big paydays. Right now with Greeny gunning for big names the interest here is bursting at the seams. Even if BHop is a no show the likes of Tarver and Adamek will sell out Acer Arena, shit, if Green came back to the West right now he would sell out Subiaco (choose your international opponent)......this kind of public support is a throw back to the golden days.
I really hope that some smart operators behind other guys like Vic, Kats, Willie Tomlinson (there are plenty) get on the band wagon and put on some super shows down under while the iron is hot. Take advantage of the momentum.
Time to cash in boys, get your gloves on!!!

[flamengo]

How revered is Calzaghe Josey??? must be a bloody superstar in Walesville.

Yep , even frindge contenders that wrangle their way to a World title shot can earn serious money when they have a named gym & promoter behind them , here Gavin Rees won a REAL world title whilst fighting out of Enzo Calzaghe's gym , Lockett earn't enough money for being slapped around by Pavlik to set himself up for life as a result of being in the right place at the right time , Macca got smashed by Haye but he was fighting for the undisputed cruiser title at the time ,ching ching ,,,all this on the back of Joe's succsess .

Flamer , No he ain't a god ala a Gareth Edwards or Barry John type but he is well known , he won the British Sports personality of the year last year and its unheared of here for a boxer .
