Superfight Australia Weigh-ins

And here’s my lame attempt at interviewing Gustavo Falciroli: Gustavo Falciroli interview
NOTE: I apologize in advance for the quality.  The weigh-ins were in a bar and the only place that we could have a “quiet” spot was outside the bar next to a main road.  Maybe next time I will keep the background music LOL

All the best to Gustavo and Chris, tonight.

Looks like its gonna be a good card…fight number two will be interesting how Kyle Holt made 93 kilos is amazing the guy is HUGE made Peter Kennedy look tiny…
Looking Forward to Spooner v Brown, Spooner is a class act, and Kennedy v Morcombe as well!
