Josh English reports from Kazakhstan

"Well its our last man standing today. Dylan Hardy (81kg) will fight Hungary late tonight in another tough clash for the Aussies. Yesterday Ross Weaver (75kg) went down swinging against a strong Russian, while Johan Linde (91kg+) lost to Uzbekistan. There was a sense of excitement as the super heavies got in yesterday, as everyone is waiting for that one knockout punch from either fighter, no matter what country. However, there was less KO's than expected."

"Yesterday I was able to spar with a very skilful local Kazakhstan boxer. Today I did some light sparring with the Cuban Yosbany Vieta (49kg). Yosbany is my pick to take out my division (49kg), the best mover I have ever gone in with and it was definitely a good experience for me. Will definitly be doing more with him over the next week to help him prepare as the tournament goes on."

"The Cuban and the Kazakhstan teams seem to be the strongest so far, with no losses for their teams as they head into the final week of competition."

Kazakstan update from Josh English

2013-10-19T14:05:00.001+11:00

Well it was more bad news for us Australians yesterday, with Andrew Moloney (52kg) going down to the local Kazakhstan boy and David Biddle (64kg) losing to Moldova. Two of the favourites in the 52kg division were on display yesterday, Paddy Barnes (Ireland) and Andrew Selby (Wales) which we got to see. Both took the wins and will be ones to watch over the next week.

Today we have Ross Weaver (75kg) vs Russia and Johan Linde (91kg+) vs Uzbekistan. Both tough fights, but the boys have been waiting to go all week. The rest of the team will be sparring with some local Kazakhstan boxers today.

Jackson Woods lost yesterday to the Bulgarian. Today Dave Biddle (64kg) fights Moldova and Andy Moloney (52kg) fights Kazakhstan.

Tough day yesterday for the Australians-From Australian boxing Team Member Josh English

2013-10-18T12:50:00.000+11:00

Tough day yesterday for the Australians, myself especially. I gave everything I had against the Thai boxer and thought I had clearly taken the decision. One judge agreed giving me all 3 rounds, while the other two gave me only one round. Very disappointed that my journey ends here for the tournament, but my spirits have been sightly lifted with all the support Ive had and the comments from other countries in regards to who they thought won. Daniel Lewis (69kg) also went down to a very talented Kenyan boxer.

On the Button - Josh English hits the mark with his left.

Tuesday, Tim Locock (60kg) went down to Russia, while Dave Biddle (64kg) won by TKO against Nepal. Today we have Jackson Woods (56kg) fighting Bulgaria in a what will hopefully be another win for Australia.

Even though I wont fight again this tournament, I should be able to do some sparring with other countries over the next week and I'll never forget the intensity of fighting in front of the rest of the world like I did yesterday.

Latest News From Kazakhstan

15/10/2013

Second day of competition here in Kazakhstan. Yesterday our 52kg Andrew Moloney beat Sri Lanka pretty comfortably, while our 91kg Jason Whatley went down fighting against a very skilled Croatian. Its very different watching the fights with no headgear and there was either cuts or huge bruises in every fight. The opening ceremony was also on last night, with our team captain Johan Linde carrying the Aussie flag. A great ceremony that showcased how successful Kazakhstan boxers have been over the years and how they are such a proud boxing.

Today we have 64kg David Biddle vs Nepal and 60kg Tim Locock vs Russia. Hopefully two good results for the boys.

Aussie Boxers Make Weight at World Champs

Josh English is keeping us up to date from Almaty, Kazakhstan.

14/10/2013
"What a day, up early to weigh in with 567 boxers attempting to weigh in. The Australian team all made weight. First day of fighting with 91kg Jason whately vs Croatia and 52kg Andy Moloney vs Sri Lanka. Both in the afternoon session. The mood has turned to a serious focus and good energy amongst our team now that we know who we fight. I will be up against the Thai boxer afternoon and can't wait. A sharp session of shadow boxing and partner work this afternoon has kept us fresh. Hopefully both boys get the job done"

Aussie Boxers Ready To Weigh In At World Champs

Josh English, keeping us updated as he and the Australian team prepare in Almaty Kazakhstan

12/10/2013
"Well lots has gone on here in Kazakhstan over the last couple of days. Yesterday was the official arrival of the rest of the teams. A record 116 countries will compete in this world championships so you can imagine how many different languages and cultures are around. Yesterday morning us Australians did more interval running and then sparred amongst ourselves in the afternoon. We trained at a larger gym yesterday afternoon, I think its the official training centre while the World Championships are on.
It was crazy in there, at least 15 to 20 different nations in there at the one time, all training hard, all speaking different languages and making heaps of noise. It was almost a standoff between all the teams in regards to who was going to intimidate everyone else the most with how they trained, how hard they could hit a bag or how quick they could shadow box. Speaking for myself and the rest of the Australian team this didnt really phase us. We know what we have to do, we know we are well prepared and when the fights start, no one will care about who impressed in the gym."

"But it was definitely a scene to see in that gym yesterday afternoon."

"Today we have light training session with a short run and some shadow boxing, then the rest of the day off. Ive got no injuries at all, and our only concern for the rest of the day will be making the weight for tomorrow. The draw will be out tomorrow afternoon, so ill keep everyone updated."

10/10/2013
"The training has continued the last two days, with a strength circuit done on tuesday morning and more sparring with the Koreans & Bulgarians in the afternoon. Its great preparation sparring the different styles we may come up against in just a few days time. It's now Wednesday, it was more interval running in the morning and some pad work & bag work in the afternoon."

Aussie Team members doing some interval running drills on the streets of Almaty, Kazakhstan.

"Its now Thursday morning and everybody's weight is coming down slowly, with still 3 days out from the general weigh in on Sunday. More teams are beginning to arrive at our hotel, with the Welsh and Mongolian teams arriving yesterday afternoon. Today's training we will be doing a strength circuit in the morning, followed by sparring against the Koreans and Bulgarians in the afternoon. Vince Consentini, the Australian team physio has also just arrived to take care of any little injuries as we get ready for competition."

Updates From Josh English - World Amateur Boxing Titles - Almaty, Kazakhstan - October 2014

2013-10-09T14:01:00.003+11:00

DownUnderBoxing is proud to announce that we have young Josh English, Australia's representative in the 49kg Divisions at the upcoming World Boxing Championships on board as our correspondent. Josh will be sending us updates and behind the scenes news from Kazakhstan as he and Australia's nine other representatives prepare to compete on the world stage. We hope you all get behind our Aussie Boxers and enjoy Josh's insights as he share's his experience with all of us.

Here are the first two instalments from Josh

6/10/2013
"Arrived in Almaty, Kazakhstan tonight with the 10 man Australian Team for the world championships. Hot weather over here, about 30 degrees. The boys and I will be recovering tomorrow with some light training (running and shadow boxing) before sharpening things right up in our final week of preparation, with the general weigh in and draw being done on Sunday the 13th. My weight is a bit heavy after a few long plane trips but will have to take that off this week. So far only the only other team in our hotel are the Koreans, and the massive venue is just down the road.
The Australian team:
49kg Josh English
52kg Andrew Moloney
56kg Jackson Woods
60kg Timothy Locock
64kg David Biddle
69kg Daniel Lewis
75kg Ross Weaver
81kg Dylan Hardy
91kg Jason Whatley
91+kg Johan Linde
Coach: Don Abnett
Ass Coach: Mick Daly"

8/10/2013
"Had a big day in Kazakhstan today. Interval Runs in the morning and in the afternoon it was light sparring with the Korean and Bulgarian teams. All the Australian team did well, and its great to get the experience moving around with potential opponents. The excitement is starting to build up now as the World Championships get closer, with more teams arriving and the popularity of boxing in Kazakhstan meaning there are posters and advertisements all over the city of Almaty. Culture and language barriers are really noticeable here in Kazakhstan even when trying to communicate something simple, but boxing is the common theme and its popularity in kazakhstan is huge. So i'd imagine the crowds will be big and loud in one weeks time."

Thanks Josh, keep 'em coming mate!!!!

Les Piper announced as Combat 8 Main Event

2012-07-09T14:30:00.003+10:00

Former Australian Super Middleweight Champion, Les Piper has been announced this morning as the boxer that will head the lineup of boxers in a new concept in which Boxers will take on MMA fighters in the ring.

Newcastle MMA fighter Justin Murry will be Pipers opponent in Combat 8's inaugural event to be held at Panthers Newcastle, September 1, 2012.

Combat 8 is aiming to match the best boxers Vs the best MMA fighters in a format that compliments both sports. The Promoters promise "to bring you fast paced fights that if they last the distance you will have a winner within 3 x 3 minute rounds."

The modified rules eliminate kicking to bring the fighters closer together & eliminate knees and elbows to replace it with fighters opting to pick each other up and slam their opponents to the ground or throw their opponents into the cage.

Time will tell if the public embrace this new concept with most fight fans we've spoken to.prepared to wait to see the first event before making to many comments.

Cruiserweight Title stays with Amman

2012-06-17T16:39:00.000+10:00

On Friday night, 16 June at Panthers Newcastle, Wagga Wagga's Anthony McCrackin challenged Newcastle's Daniel Amman for the Australian Cruiserweight Title.

Anthony McCrackin Vs Daniel Amman in their Australian Title bout
15 June 2012

A big crowd witnessed a fantastic night of boxing which showcased some of Newcastle's up & coming talent on an undercard which consisted of 6 AABL Amateur bouts & 2 Professional bouts. Tuffnup Boxing Newcastle promoted the event.

The main event started with both fighters showing each other plenty of respect. It was the local boy, Amman who was getting the better of the early rounds. McCrackin was starting to find his way through Amman's southpaw defense mid way through the fight. He picked up the pace and took a few rounds in this stage of the fight, but it was Daniel Amman who came home stronger. He was awarded a unanimous points decision although the judges scorecards (98-92, 98-92, 97-95) were not a true indication of what was a very competitive, close fight.

In a super middleweight bout Tuffnup's Simon "Rampage" Rendina met Gunnedah's Wade Ryan. Both boxers were on debut. The accurate counter punching of southpaw Ryan was to good for a game Rendina who, to his credit. climbed off the canvass in round 3 to finish the fight. UD to Ryan(40-35, 40-35, 40-35

The fight of the night was a light heavyweight bout between another 2 debutants. Luke Bunder Vs Robbie Harris was a war from the opening bell. Neither boxer held back with both boxers landing heavy punches throughout the fight. It was a slick, more polished Bunder who got the UD (39-37, 40-36, 40-36) over a tough as nails Harris. In a post fight interview Bunder revealed that his shoulder had popped out during the third round and he had finished the fight with one arm.

See below for results from the Amateur Bouts.

Bennett Climbs Off the Canvas to KO Armah

Chad Bennett

Newcastle Panthers - 1/6/2012 - A large & vocal crowd attended the venue to witness their hometown hero dig deep and triumph last night.

In a battle for the WBO Interim Oriental & the vacant WBO Asia Pacific Light Welterweight Titles, Novacastrian Chad “Hollywood” Bennett took on Ghanian James Armah (17-1).

Armah received an eight count early in the first round.after a flash knockdown but recovered quickly to finish an otherwise even round. The African pick up the pace in the second round. He continued this into round three dropping Bennett twice. The local boy rallied in the forth for his best round of the fight on the back of a very parochial home crowd.

The fight continued as a tit for tat, action packed tug-of-war. Armah was ahead on the cards at the end of round seven but couldn’t make it through the 8th round with referee Steve Hughes waving the bout off at the 50sec mark.

Pal Vella

The main event was preceded by any equally exciting undercard comprising of some up and coming local talent.

Paul Vella, a two time ABL Australian Champion in the amateurs made his professional debut against a more experienced Jayson Mac Gura at light welterweight. In a busy fight, Vella’s persistent pressure finally got the better of his opponent 37sec into the forth.

A welterweight contest between Will Sands & Roy Hourn was next and the boys didn’t disappoint. Sands was edging out his taller opponent in the first three rounds. He was hurt by Hourn early in the final round and had to dig deep to survive. Sands won a unanimous decision.

123kg Bobby “Two Guns” Tuimaualuga heavyweight made short work of Moses Havea. The fight was over in 37sec.

2011 AABL National Titles

2011-11-29T19:09:00.002+11:00

Night 1

The Australian Amateur Boxing League(AABL) 2011 National Titles were hosted by League Boxing Inc (NSW) at the Helikalani Bolwing Club, Budgiewoi on the 24th, 25th & 26th November.

86 boxers from Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania & NSW weighed in on Thursday morning in anticipation of a very competitive weekend of Amateur Boxing.

Night 1 of the Titles was kicked of with two finals. The 60kg Schoolboy Final was won by Joshua McKay (NSW) and the 41kg Junior Final was won by Gunnedah’s Corey Grosser.

The night continued with elimination bouts in the Junior, Intermediate & Senior Divisions. Junior boxers Cory Hardy (NSW), Matt Grant (QLD), Brad Verfuth (Vic) & Mitchell Whitelaw (NSW) all advanced to the final.

The Intermediate 67kg division shaping up, as always, as the strongest division in the tournament. Three eliminations were contested on night 1. Sam Payne (QLD), Manyang Dut (NSW) & Brad Nicholson (NSW) all put on impressive displays to advance into the next round of eliminations, with Nicholson defeating the local favorite and much talked about Troy O’Meley in a very entertaining and close fight.

Lorenzo Spozito was to good for his fellow NSW opponent in the 86kg intermediate elimination.

Senior Boxer’s Ryan Heck (QLD), Ben Bowes (QLD), Lachlan Hinchcliffe (QLD) all advanced. In the fight of the night Queensland’s Jamie McIntyre got the judges nod over Jean Paul Beguin (NSW) in the 75kg weight division.

Night 2

The night kicked off with six junior finals. All boxers displayed great skills, courage & sportsmanship. Jack Grosser (NSW), Jack Seabourne (Tas), Tysinn Best (QLD) & Nathan Hinchcliffe (QLD) all had wins. The 51kg Junior final between Queensland’s Liam Paro and New South Welshman Nathan Merritt was a cracker with Merrit edging out his opponent in a split decision. A much improved Corey Hardy was gallant in defeat against a relentless Jimmy Judge in the 57kg junior final.

Next up were the boys in the 67kg Intermediate division with three of the four boxers backing up from the previous night & Tasmania’s former AABL Title holder Jy Sullivan still alive in the tournament. The boys didn’t disappoint. Brad Nicholson won a tough fight against Sullivan & Toronto’s Manyang Dut defeated Sam Payne. All in attendance were already talking about the final the next night.

Senior elimination bouts followed. Tassie boxer David Eaton edged out Matt Ford in a sometimes scrappy encounter. Jared Kumtoo (Vic), Brad Brennan (NSW), Dean Thomas (Qld) & Queensland Ben Bowes all progressed into the finals. 67kg boxer Scott Edwards was unfortunate when his shoulder popped out in the dressing room during his warm up and was anable to enter the ring for his fight.

Two elimination bouts in the always strong 78kg class saw Wade Ryan narrowly defeating Newcastle’s Chad Price and the evasive skills of frenchman Faris Chevalier (now living in Cairns) were too much for Simon Rendina.

In the Super Heavies (91+) Victorias Che St John put up a great fight against a more experienced opponent in Brett Jeffery from Queensland. Jeffery won the fight but St John proved he will be a handful in the future with a few more fights under his belt. Shaun Pua won the other bout against Gunnedah’s Ben Croyle.

The last event of the evening was the Final of the 86kg Senior Final. Central Coast local Robbie Harris made short work of Tassie’s Shane Jackman in his last fight in the amateur ranks. Robbie will turn professional early next year.

Night 3

The first two fights on finals night were a historic occasion. It was the first time females have been allowed to fight for an AABL National Title on NSW soil since the laws were changed to allow females to box were changed a couple of years ago. Krystina Jacobs (Tas) defeated QLD boxer Shearna Smith & Dana Sailsbury (NSW) had a win over Pam McClealand (NSW).

The girls were followed by four junior bouts. Dean Muscat (NSW), Mitchel Whitelaw (NSW), Tristan Martin (QLD) & Adam Cook (Tas) all took home gold.

Intermediate Division were the next group to step through the ropes. The 67kg weight class final had the crowd on the edge of there seats. With both fighters having plenty of supporters in attendance. Brad Nicholson started the fight strong winning the first two rounds. His opponent Manyang Dut fought back courageously in rounds 3 & 4 but in the end Nicholson won a split decision.

In the 75kg Masters final Reverend Dave Smith won a close fight over Darren Fitzsimmons. The crowds appreciation was displayed at the conclusion of the bout with money thrown into the ring in support of Reverend Dave’s work getting kids off the streets.

Senior finals completed the weekends events. All bouts were of excellent quality. Gold was handed to Harley Broom (QLD), Jacob Daureen (Tas), Dean Thomas (QLD), Tom Feron (NSW) & Shaun Pau. Micheal Perry had a KO win against Tassie boxer Jed Cornish who displayed some great skills before he was caught & couldn’t recover.

The two standout fights of the tournament were the 63.5kg & the 78kg senior finals. Wade Ryan (NSW) & Faris Chevailer (QLD) was a great “chess” battle between two evasive, counter punching boxers. A split Decision was awarded to the Queenslander. The 63.5 kg final was an all out, non stop war from start to finish. Jarod Kumtoo (Vic) was to strong for the talented Brad Brennen (NSW) and took home the Title for the second year in a row. Kumtoo’s effort all the more amazing considering he has not fought this year and had no sparring in the lead up to the tournament.

Medals on the night were presented by Australian Boxing Legends Tony Mundine & Billy Males.

Congrats to Fire For Effect Boxing for organizing a great event

Mundraby’s Jaw Broken in OPBF Title Bout

2011-05-19T01:45:00.000+10:00

Indigenous boxer, Fred Mundraby has sustained a broken jaw in his bid to claim the OPBF Super Flyweight Title at Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan tonight.

Fred’s jaw was broken during the third round. He bravely fought on till the end of the 5th round when his corner decided they had no other choice but to stop the fight.

It’s an unfortunate setback for the IBF No.12 ranked boxer. A win would most definitely opened a few more doors for one of Australian Boxing’s rising stars.

Fred Mundraby taking the next step

2011-05-07T14:11:00.002+10:00

Next Sunday 15th May, indigenous boxer, Fred Mundraby(12-0-1-6KO) & his small entourage will board a plane to Tokyo, Japan. Their mission is to bring back with them the OPBF Super Flyweight Title.

On 18th May 2011, Mundraby will take on Japanese boxer Ryo Akaho(15-0-2-9KO) for the vacant title at Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan. “It’s a great opportunity. I’ve been working hard for this for a long time. My last two wins against two experienced boxers placed me into #2 ranking with the OPBF and I will be fighting #1 ranked boxer for the belt. A win will boost me up in the world rankings and hopefully open up a few doors. I have a great team behind me and we are confident that I will come back with belt.”

Mundraby, who trains under Steve Deller at Fortitude Boxing Gym in Newstead, started boxing when he was 14 after being told he was too small for rugby league. Fred had 57 amateur fights with only nine losses with the Australian Amateur Boxing League (A.A.B.L) winning three Australian & four Queensland titles along the way. He fought Beijing Olympian Paul Flemming nine times in the amateurs winning on six occasions.

As a professional, Mundraby is unbeaten. He moved to Brisbane from his home in North Queensland in early 2010 to box on a full time basis under the tutelage of one of Australia’s best trainers Steve Deller and all the team at Fortitude Boxing. Since then he has defended his Australian bantamweight title and claimed the vacant Australian super flyweight belt in 2010 with a win over Matt Meridith. “Having my wife and daughter with me in “Brisvagas” has really helped me settle into the big smoke.” Steve Deller & Johnny Burke who Fred describes as his personal Mr Miagi are now playing a huge role in his dream of winning a world title. “They not only helping me with boxing, they are coaching me in life as well and have been a major inspiration to me since I lost my father. I am also getting great support from Brian “The Boss Man” Webb and my sponsors SAMIOS plumbing supplys

When Fred’s not boxing, he is chilling with the family or fishing. “I really just love hanging with my partner Michelle and our beautiful daughter Isabella and going for the odd fish. Besides that, it’s all hard work boxing and getting as fit as I can so I can win a world title.”

Fred hopes his achievements can be used to encourage other young fighters in the A.A.B.L. “I know how important boxing has been in my life, it’s kept me on the straight and narrow, it’s given me confidence and allowed me to meet many great people, I love what it has given me. I hope that other young boxers will see that with dedication there can be a life in boxing after the amateurs.”

Mundraby has the world at has feet and is taking positive steps towards his dream of emulating the achievements of indigenous boxers Lionel Rose, Anthony Mundine, Robbie Peden and hopefully after this Sunday Daniel Geale by winning a world title.

New Scoring System for Amateur Boxing

2011-04-18T12:11:00.000+10:00

INTRODUCTION OF NEW AIBA SCORING SYSTEM

http://www.boxingvic.org.au/New_AIBA_Scoring_System.pdf

i have shared all of your pain watching the terrible scoring in the amateurs.

this is much better.

in a nutshell - all judges are recorded independantly. there is no longer the one second window to push - a judge can think about it for a few seconds - also it means that judges can record a multi punch combo - say a left-right- hook combo found its mark with each punch in the past that was likely to record 1 point now it could record 3.

having all the judges recorded means not only will combo punching be more common but so will inside fighting - if you only need one judge to see at any given time fighters can use the corners for pressure fighting too.

of course they can't make it simple and just count all of the judges when it comes to giving the actual score

- no - they have to have to ways of scoring - the first and one that will be most common i think is called the "similar score method"

here they take the 3 judges who's score is closest to each other and divide the total by 3 to get the score

the other method is called the "trimmed mean" - say judges score 2-4-6-8-10 - they would take away the lowest and the highest and divide by 3

it also means no running score but instead a score comes up during round break.

Let us know what you think.
