Sherro loses Decision

[ipswich express]

Good learning experience for him. Fight of the year by all accounts in South Africa.

[sambo1987]

Ah that's a shame. Well done for having a go though!

[Barge FTA]

no surprise to me.

[Kegsy]

Had a go & great effort even if he came up a little short.

Sherro will be back better than ever.

Barge i understand you like the attention of people biting when you start your rot but i will let you in on a little secret which may enrich your life somewhat,

"The funny thing about criticism, is that any farkwit can offer it."

Sherro flew a couple of thousand miles to fight a good fighter and trained his butt off. What have you ever showed that much dedication 2 apart from getting out of bed to go pick up a 25 bag and large eagle boys?
your a loser

[Barge FTA]

bushboy, if you read my previous posts about my opinions on that state of australian boxing, you will understand why i wrote this.

[stingray7]

Apart from Barge the other posts infer a big step up for Sherrington. This is the same William Gare that a much less experienced 2006 version of Jamie Pittman had little trouble with. Yes Sherro went out of his comfort zone but Gare is no world beater

[ipswich express]

Styles make fights. It's also the same Gare that knocked Maselino Masoe the fuck out.

Spot on Ippy.:deal

Kegsy when Gare Knocked out Masoe in 4 , Masoe was 41 years old and had had one fight ( went 4 rounds) in the 17 months previous.Gare is solid but no better.

Spot on Stingray, sometimes these guys let patriotism get to their heads. If Sherro was from another country, these guys wouldn't be as positive.

and pray tell what is so wrong about being positive about, and supporting, your countries athletes?


it seems to me that your just a surly old cunt who just loves to tell everyone "i told you so"

i dont follow the forums anymore but it seems if you had already made your opinion known in regards to this on another thread, then why bother posting something like "no suprise to me". what does that add to the thread? other than bignoting yourself and coming across like a tosser, nothing.

[Barge FTA]

because i was hoping some people may agree with me that it is no surprise he lost. instead, all i get is bias bullshit and a "how dare you criticise Australian boxers" response.

mate if you want people to start agreeing with your opinion it might help if you didn't come across like a fuck-wit

nobody likes to agree with a fuckwit even if they are right.

It was a good opportunity and a winnable fight for Sherro. On top of this I'm sure it'd be the biggest purse he'd recieved and an opportunity to fight overseas. Sure it was a step up in class, but it was a potentially winnable fight. He'll be better for the experience. What's so wrong with that?

Barge just dont like it when someone does something he cant do.

Sure it was a step up in class, but it was a potentially winnable fight. He'll be better for the experience. What's so wrong with that? Nothing wrong with it at all , good on him for having a go , if i were him i would use that purse to base myself in the UK for a couple of years and have say 5-6 fights v the up and coming Brits and eastern europeans that are based here , this i reckon would improve Sherro's game by 50% . i aint having a go @ the southern hemisphere boxing scene here either before anyone has a pop at me ,but imo the Northern hemisphere fighters fight higher class opponents and more reguarly when they are up and coming . im sure there are a few trainers in the UK who would welcome this kid with open arms . Win ,Win situation for Sherro imo .

[Barge FTA]

overall, you guys go way too soft on Australian fighters. i want to see them get better, but all you guys do is pat them on the back and tell them everything will be ok. apart from Kostya Tszyu, no australian fighter of recent times has lived up to expectation. they are all bridesmaids, but never the bride!

[ipswich express]

Robbie Peden?

[Barge FTA]

beating Nate Campbell is not living up to expectation. he got bashed up in the 2 fights following that.

[JOSEY WALES]

Yeah agree Thanks Teke , I will take this a stage futher and suggest perhaps Mundine should have made the move , possibly after the Kesser fight , up here he would have been pitted against a few decent legit S/middles and probably winning against blokes like Veit , Inkin , Steglize ,Froch etc , Mundine post Kessler sort of got himself into the comfort zone ie fighting blokes lower in standard to those i just mentioned with the exception of Sam & Danny , he would have imo been firmly placed in the upper tier of the S/Middle weight division ready for a shot at who ever claims the belts post Calzaghe era ( by then it could havebeen him ), I got a bit of a rep here for bagging Mundine but the fella as ive always maintained has talent but just seems content on just fighting lesser comp @ home in Aus . the fella could have been well in the mix but as it turns out has a rep now world wide for being a bit of a shithouse ..

So beating the guy who is currently and for all extensive purposes the man at 130lbs isn't living up to expectation? What the hell is then? He fulfilled his potential and then some in my opinion. Yeah, he got belted by an all time great in Barrera and stopped by the hard punching Ganoy when he was done. What's your point caller?

[MSTR]

How about Katsidis then... He won the interim title impressively knocking out Graham Earl. Then took the ring champion, and long time belt holder ten hard rounds, was winning on all score cards clearly before getting caught with a good shot. Still, a great fighter who put up an excellent performance. Your mistake here Barge, is that you are totally exaggerating, saying we are glorifying these guys. We are not, only supporting, there is a massive difference. No one thinks that katsidis is an elite fighter, or anything like that. Same with the rest of the Aussie fighters, but they are still good fighters. You say no other aussie has been successful, what about Vic Darchinyan?? Danny Green? They still won titles, and in Vic's case had a heap of defences. Your image of successful is being a top p4p fighter for some reason... The only person being unrealistic here is you mate.
