When should we expect to see him out again? Yeah looking to fight some taller guys. Have got a couple of irons in the fire at the moment. 6 ft 5 ish type., it's critical to get experience with tall guys . Joe is the shortest world champ at mo at 6 ft 4.

Instead of Focusing solely on the height of opponents, which I'm sure you're not, but hypothetically, wouldn't it be best for Fa to fight credible opponents, those with a name; those that will get Fa noticed? And getting Fa noticed would be best achieved with winning in a stunning fashion against credible guys (ie: guys slightly above Latham and on the top 15 fringes- Alex Leapai comes to mind.) It just feels that 'fighting taller guys because the champs are tall' isn't what's needed at this stage; a stage where another jabathon against a top 100 boxer, will undo all that hype he engendered with the ko on the weekend. I think that agresssive style should be his shtick and if it not only gets him more of a following, it may help in the rankings also.

Its easier in america but its still hard there. in 13 fights 6 foot 2 is the tallest we have had. 50k for an opponent on smaller cards is just not feasible.

Any more updates markk? Will we still be seeing Junior out in this date? RE: Junior Fa - markk - 11-29-2017 worst case scenario he will be competing n the steps before feb 26th. best case a fight in africa on 6th of jan and then in states before feb 26th. he is working hard at training at moment. also may have some interesting sparing coming up in the next few months to help another fighter out and more importantly to help with development RE: Junior Fa - African Monkey - 11-30-2017 (11-29-2017, 11:32 PM)markk Wrote: worst case scenario he will be competing n the steps before feb 26th. best case a fight in africa on 6th of jan and then in states before feb 26th. he is working hard at training at moment. also may have some interesting sparing coming up in the next few months to help another fighter out and more importantly to help with development Africa?

He's active and doesnt mind taking on undefeated prspects (and losing to them of course). Fought Wallin last year and 18-0 Zhang this year. Someone at his evel would be good for Junior, though wouldn't want to go any lower from here on. Machimna went 8 rounds losing UD with otto wallin, winning a round on a scorecard. So hes still a good journeyman for young pups RE: Junior Fa - craigyid14 - 12-02-2017 My cousin fought Machimana 15 years ago and he gassed after 8 minutes...... Maybe he's worked on his fitness over the years (hopefully). |
