Sorry to disappoint my next opponent isn't SBW. I have agreed to fight a tough, durable fighter. I hear he's been training the house down (this time). He's 3 ½ inches taller than me and has over 150 rounds of professional boxing under his belt - I have 13, lol. We fight in 10 days.
Any guesses? I was thinking Clarence Tillman rematch but he's five inches taller and boxed 143 rounds. Would explain the (this time) in the post as Tillman was out of shape when they fought on super 8 undercard and pulled out after a round with a shoulder injury?
It has to be Richard Tutaki. 153 rounds, exactly 3 1/2 inches taller than Hemi and has already been training hard for his fight against Butterbean.
The thing that's most interesting for me is Tutaki will fight Hemi on Sep 5th and get knocked out, he will then be given a 28 day stand down, despite being scheduled to fight Butterbean just one week later. Sounds suspicious.
Tutaki would then have to withdraw from the Butterbean fight and they would replace him with that guy Gavin Somers (debut) who called Butterbean out on Facebook and was scheduled to fight him had this one not been rescheduled. Giving BBB an easier fight on the back of a loss.
Also, the new Big Bash posters are out and have removed the Tutaki v Butterbean fight and replaced with Jordan Tai v Panuve Helu.
Sorry if that was confusing, hard to put into words...depends how deep it runs or if I'm getting too excited.
No I understand and it makes perfect sense.
Nice work on the Richard Tutaki find and I suspect you are right on the money.
Also, Butterbean was posting on Facebook ages ago about fighting Julias Long, even had a date penciled in and photos up etc.
Something about everyone wants me to fight a real boxer so here you go...
Next minute Long is fighting Izuagbe Ugonoh and I too thought how convenient, bet he gets knocked out and Butterbean fight doesn't happen.
Anyone else remember seeing that?
Thing was, Izy couldn't finish Long, but any talk of Butterbean v Long went cold anyway. Totally dropped off the radar.

I remember that fight being announced then cancelled without much word as to why.. I doubt Duco would want BBB losing again before his big rematch with Kaleni that they're hyping either. And they pull all the punches.
Izu vs Will Meehan on the undercard, anyone?
Just looked at Clarence Tillman's record. He's lost 15 in a row. FIFTEEN. I remember when he first came to NZ looking for a trainer. Came over from New Orleans. Interestingly, he lost a 12 round decision to Lucas Browne. Not bad.

That says more about Browne than Clarence...
Would be surprised if Willis was game to take on Izu in his 4th fight
Hey Everybody , Ive followed this forum for quite some time now and finally decided to join and get amongst it!
I wouldnt be surpised if Willis takes on Izu either Willis certainly looks a good prospect good size, outstanding power and will only get better. The whole card is shaping up nicely its going to be a great night of fights im really looking forward to it.

Ben, Hemi dislocated his shoulder with one punch.
Hey - welcome Boxingfan25
I can't see Willis beating Izu, but it'd probably be a good scrap
