RE: Professional Boxing in NZ - diehard - 03-04-2015
True that, justafan. No top ten guy has EVER been over to NZ to fight one of our guys. Unless Ustinov was top ten when he fought Tua, which I don't think he was, coming off a loss to Pulev.
RE: Professional Boxing in NZ - Daneo - 03-04-2015
I think Kali is a good matchup for Joe, he'll get some valuable experience with a big man and should pick up some ranking points. Plus he should also earn some good coin and create some more boxing buzz downunder.
RE: Professional Boxing in NZ - diehard - 03-04-2015
Do you think Joe would beat him, Daneo? Easily?
RE: Professional Boxing in NZ - Daneo - 03-05-2015
Not easily, but lets be honest the guy is 41 and ring savvy will only get you so far..... Give him a camp with klitchko and watch him pound kali into retirement.
RE: Professional Boxing in NZ - justafan - 03-05-2015
Isn't Kali 44, going on for 45? Could be wrong but thought I read that the other day
RE: Professional Boxing in NZ - cranky - 03-05-2015
yup

RE: Professional Boxing in NZ - Daneo - 03-05-2015
I stand corrected.... 45 makes it better for JP however.
RE: Professional Boxing in NZ - diehard - 03-05-2015
Daneo, my point is that he "may" win against Kali, but he'll struggle. Kali is not ranked, if he's going to struggle, let him do it against a guy that's hand picked in the top ten. Not some 44 year old guy who's not ranked who may beat him.

Risk Reward scenario Die, I think the risk is low compared to the upside. Upside is a well-known, internationally recognized opponent who will sell tickets/PPV in NZ and OZ. Compared to a younger, probably more skilled top 10 guy, proabably unknown to NZ/Oz fans.... I'm looking at it from the POV of his handlers also I suppose, they wouldn't want to risk their golden goose fighting here in a show they might struggle to sell...

Wow Daneo, most of Jo's fights so far should have been hard to sell. NZ patrons are gullible...
