Kambosos should be rebuilding on a undercard.. he has been uncompetitive in both Haney fights and the Lomo fight...

Brock might have to consider giving the sport away. I unfortunately can't see him going any further in boxing. Anyone disagree with that?

Nikita v Brock, yeah that'd be cool, and a funny lead up to the fight. The fight would end with another KO of Brock.

Looked way out of his depth prior too and in the actual fight .
Him mouthing off at Thurman after touching gloves was absolutely cringe .


Hope he got paid well , don't think he will headline again .

 

[GC2015]

So Tszyu fights in Newcastle next weekend and a win sets up a clash with Thurman on the Gold Coast in July. Opetaia will also fight on the Gold Coast (again after his January fight on the GC) in May to defend his championship again. It certainly looks like there's currently a big push to establish the Gold Coast as the home of premier boxing in Australia. The confirmation of a proper sized indoor arena being built on the Gold Coast that was announced earlier this week (along with other 2032 Olympic projects) will mean the Gold Coast can really establish itself as the home of first class Australian boxing in a brand new indoor arena with a suitable capacity. Basically their plan is to turn the Gold Coast into Australia's Las Vegas for boxing and ramp up tourism all year round as a result.
