Its going to be a big night of action at the EKKA grounds Coffee Club room.

I expect this to be one of the classic local Heavyweight Clashes of the past few years.

Col is super experienced . Alex just loves throwing the bombs...

Can't wait.

Brian

[Kegsy]

Alex Leapai by KO i would expect.

Leapai has come on in leaps & bounds in recent times.

[ipswich express]

If Wilson actually trains for this, I'd make him favourite. Sadly, he doesn't spend enough time in the gym. If he's focused, I'd tip Col.

Alex Leapai defends his OPBF Heavyweight Title in little over one weeks time against Colin Kid Wilson at the Mansfield Tavern. This fight will not go the distance. This will be remeniscent of an old school brawl. In the early eighties these two might have been more suited to the Mansfield Car Park than centre ring. This will be a knock down drag em out slug fest.

Leapai's strengths lie in his power. Standing just under 6 ft tall and weighing close to 110 kilos he is an absolute wrecking machine. Left and right hooks fly constantly and as all of last 7 opponents can testify he has "Knockout Power".

Colin Wilson on the other hand is well over 6 ft tall and will weigh around 117 kilos once the first bell rings. His training schedule is unique indeed. Preferring to lift 80 kilo drilling rods at the mine he works in rather than weights in the gym. Wilson is naturally gifted with core strength and power, he has toughness that no trainer can teach, you either have it or you don't.

im not sure alex is under 6ft. he looks bigger than that in person. hes a big bopper though. serious heavyweight power.

[Kegsy]

Leapai is about the 6ft mark

[sallywinder]

anyone see the fight? who won..lol

[roscoe]

Col boxed his ears off over 12 rds. Fought really well apparently. He never ceases to stun me, wins the ones he's not suppose to & loses the ones he should walk in. Tough bugger.

oh shit......:patsch

[roscoe]

You've gotta give Col credit, he's one tough bugger, he actually semi trained for this one, I think he turned up 10 days in a row at the gym:cool:

[sallywinder]

what sort of tactics did colin employ? double up on jab? get alex leaning back, then follow up when alex was off balance?

[roscoe]

Mate I just got a text off his brother, he said Col fought really well. Haven't spoke to him in depth about the fight but whenever Col fights well his jab is the key factor.

[sallywinder]

cool.

[leati]

alex & col put up a great fight but winning going to col, i think wally lewis decision was a disgrace, every1 who was their including officials etc said alex won it and not one time alex backed off chasing col through out the 12rnds having col on the back end on every occasion.Alex will bounce back & already asking brian/angelo for a rematch asap.congrats to both fighters & yep col trained the house down in prep for this fight who looked slim & fit at 113kg also alexs 1st southpaw fight a lesson to learn.

[ipswich express]

A well respected trainer who was there in attendence told me that he struggled to give Alex a round. Says Col boxed his ears off.

[leati]

yea he did and i don't take aythink away from col infact i'm one of his fans i even got his autograph, but his jabs that he used also hit alexs gloves and missed most of the time, thats the first time i've seen col boxed like that in years his fitness and experience played a big part and also alex who fought better than the kirby/briggs fight.

[Kegsy]

Great upset win for Colin Wilson.

[leati]

Alex has a heart of a Lion and after watching the fight over & over and seeing the potenial that alex has, he can stand toe to toe with any heavyweight in the world and thats a fact but he'll learn as he continues on.

Alex should come out in West Australia for some hard training.
Harry's Gym boys all rate him very highly as do i.:deal

[leati]

thanks kegsy i'll mention it to him!!

[leati]

i'v uploaded alexs sparring with sol on youtube, under alex leapai. awesome sparring.

[one in a million]

Who is financing the trip to Balcatta, Perth. Alex has a few brothers, not to forget his trainers also so it may be an expensive invite Kegsy...

[ipswich express]

It turns out that Col trained all of 3 weeks for the fight...

[leati]

yep trained 3half wks straight & shed a few kilo to be at 113kg, only if he'd prepared like this against big bob i think it would of been a different out come last year for the ausie title.

[leati]

hope so & spoken to alex today he just ask me to let anyone or everyone who supported him to apologise for letting you guys,sponsors & his family down on friday night & made a vowel that this will NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.
This loss just made me more hungry and even more determind for my next fight.

it was good to see him over it and back in training today.


GO THE QUEENSLANDERS

[ipswich express]

made a vowel that this will NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

Was it A, E, I, O, or U?

[ipswich express]

Seriously though. The bloke has nothing to apologise for. He's a warrior and it'll be a great learning experience for him.

[leati]

cheers mate but thats what alex wanted me to let you guys knw, thats alex for ya he fights for his supporters,sponsors and his family and was devastated for letting evryone down.

[leati]

its was a learning experience for him and hav'n his first southpaw opponent, at least he knws now what to expect frm a southpaw.

-GO THE QUEENSLANDERS-

[roscoe]

Col is the most frustrating fighter to know, got all the ability just hates doing the hard yards. If you saw him train you'd honestly shake your head but somehow he manages to get in there & go 12 rds. A lot of what if's surround Col & his career. I agree with Leati Col would have beaten Bob if he trained properly but thats just something he never does.
