THEY say that an active fighter is a dangerous fighter. And for that reason alone, Jason Moloney poses a threat to anyone in his division. The world rated Melburnian, who is currently the thirteenth rated contender for Venezuelan Nehomar Cermeno’s secondary WBA super bantamweight title, will m
DEFEAT was a difficult pill to swallow for Ibrahim Balla. Undefeated as a professional for three years and having captured two Australian titles in as many divisions, few expected the former Olympian to face adversity anytime soon. But as fate would have it, Balla would run into the unexpected speed
BOTH George Kambosos and Brandon Ogilvie talked a very big game going into their high-stakes collision on Friday night. And remarkably, the duo delivered, putting together a thrilling twelve round battle which was ultimately won by the fast-thinking and more dexterous Kambosos – who wrestled O
