According to boxrec Col's last official fight was in 2012 so can't see how he would have been up to taking Hemi any more than a round or two despite how tough he is.
He's only won something like two of his last 14 and he must be pushing mid 40s.
He might have fought some big names but it was a long time ago.
May as well drag old Bob Mirovic out.
That Wilson fight against Hoppa broke my coffee table as we were so happy a mate jumped on it and went straight through it.
Same thing with Joey, last fight was in 2012, would be setting himself up to get hurt if he jumped in with Hemi.
I like the match up against Alapati, but it's sad there couldn't be a genuine Kiwi contest for the belt.
Sadly it sums up where we at in NZ, Hemi's really just getting going so not ready for the next step just yet but because he has ability and power the rest of the bunch are ducking him. Even where Hemi is at now it's very hard to get worthwhile opponents I would imagine.
VADR, You guys are going to have some issues there, but I very much look forward to seeing who Hemi is fighting at the end of 2016.
Could see him knocking out Alex or Bowie next year if those match ups could be found. Doubt Browne would take it but after he gets knocked out in his title shot (if it ever happens) would love to see him fight Hemi late next year as I'm sure Hemi would beat him.
