“Big Smoke” Welcomes Hurricane And Demolition Man Nearer!

South Africa heavyweight sensations Johnny “Hurricane” Muller (7-0, with 5 knockouts) and Flo “The Demolition Man” Simba (6-0, with 5 knockouts) are fast running out of opposition and Golden Gloves business associate Art Pelullo, has already been wise enough to discuss the situation with promoter Rodney Berman.

“Look I’m glad we have both heavyweight prospects are on our bill for September 18, but they way things are going now, we’re soon going to have to alternate our fights in 2011, maybe the majority of them in Emperors Palace and the rest in the land of the dollar ” said Berman. “Johnny and Simba are just too good not to be cashing in on the hype”

Since both Muller (20) and Simba (21) are coached by Harold Volbrecht and managed by Brian Mitchell, it makes sense that the two fighters will soon be major drawcards in their own rights, but the great thing is that New York City are particularly begging to have their first look at the big fellows. “It says a lot about South Africa” said Berman, “that we are soon to provide the ‘big smoke’ with his first African heavyweights since Gerrie Coetzee and Corrie Sanders were in their prime”

Flo “The Demolition Man” Simba will be have his 7th pro fight on September 18 when he takes on a Ghanaian named Paakwesi Ankrah, who comes to this country after being knocked out by the Africa heavyweight Joseph Chingangu in 2008 in the fifth round. “He can’t be that bad a fighter” said former SA middleweight champion Andre Thysse, “and I think Simba has to be careful”.

As for the rock-hard Muller, the West Coast’s most powerful punching heavyweight will be meeting Elvis Moyo, who remains the one man who went the distance with Flo Simba. “Moyo is a good fighter and he’s really got a fine jab and jolting right hand” said Manny Fernandez. “Strangely enough, these guys who frequent the gyms and teach themselves tricks and formulas, some times do all right. Moreover, don’t throw Moya away, he’s bigger than Muller and with the right preparation may be the second fighter ever to go the distance with both of our young tigers” concluded Fernandes.

    Maybe its just me but I dont know what all the fuss is about these 2 guys. What have they done to make us believe they will be future champions and that we can fully get begind them. I dont think you can call them draw cards yet because what do they have that makes them different than other prospects! Maybe I’m too hard to please but thats just me. Come Terry, you know that these two aren’t proper heavy weights. Why aren’t they promoted as cruiser weights because internationally thats what the are

    The promotion angle is based on what they could potentially end up being…hevyweights. That being said I also beleive they should be hunting cruisers and become heavvies when the time dictates it. Adamek and Haye acheived plenty in the lower weights, be it cruiser and light heavy and only made the jump once they were out of options.

    Thats a fair enough point. But tell me what does muller and simba each bring to the table individually that can make them exciting prospects and that can make them draw cards. Because i’ve seen them box and i haven’t seen anything special. They’re not that hard punchers and neither of them are brilliant text book boxers. So why should we go watch them, sorry but i’ll watch a boxer only if he’s got something about him that attracts or interests me to watch him

    Roberto what do you think of Tommy? Then

  5. September 01, 2010 at 9:24 pm, Roberto said:

    I dont think much of him. He knocked out everyone but in his last few fights, he fought better opposition and he could only win on points. He makes a lot of mistakes, one of them is that he keeps his left very low, and when he punches a straight right, he doesn’t bring his hand back to his chin, he leaves himself open for counter punches. He also does not know how to fight on the inside. He can only fight from a long range, thats his comfort zone.To beat him, you’ve got to stay close to him, and apply constant pressure. Hows that ?

    Roberto I respect your views but have to disagree. I’m not quite sure what you expect from Johnny and Flo in order for them to qualify as draw cards. For sure their promoters are going to hype them up but my opinion is that both are very promising. Flo is a genuine heavyweaght, Johnny could be a cruiserweight. Of the two Johnny is the more educated boxer which his amatuer record indicates, but Flo is big and strong and there doesn’t seem to be other Heavey weight boxers in S.A of his size and athletic ability. Also, to say they are not hard hitters is wrong. Ja they not Mike Tysons but believe me they can hit.

    Flo is not a proper heavy. He only just weighs 90kg. And i dont think johnny muller is a half decent boxer. From what i’ve seen is he is very wild. Same with flo. A good draw card would be a combination of a few things, either a brilliant boxer with good looks to match like oscar de la hoya was, or a boxer with a knockout punch,like tyson or someone who’s never in a full fight like duran. He always gives the people value for money etc. Unfortunately neither muller or simba have any of those qualities. Simba couldn’t knock out his last opponent and then he nearly got knocked out himselfe in the 3rd. It doesn’t read well considering if’s supposed to be south africa’s prospect of the year.his promoters are making a mistake by selling him as a heavyweight. Because after a while, people will realise he is only a cruiser. He could grow into heavy, but that might not happen. A lot of boxers remain in only 1 weight division for their entire career, like volbreght and mitchel

    Flo and johnny might have careers at cruiser weight. Maybe they’ll grow into heavyweights. I wish them well for the future but by promoting them as 2 of the most exciting heavyweights since the days of so and so is dangerous.Lets see what muller does in his next fight against the first guy who took simba the distance.I should think any real prospect would’ve cleaned the floor against that fellow.Flo is still young and can learn and make up for his lack of amateur experience.he needs to work on his style,he’s very stiff.lets hope we’ll see some explosion in their next fights.I’m looking forward to it.Golden gloves are the only promoters who’s shows I attend.If it wasn’t for them, i wouldn’t watch local boxing. Well done mr Berman. You really are head above the others

    Yes, each opinion has to be respected and I certainly respect yours Roberto. HOWEVER, when last did you watch Johnny box? Certainly not his last two fights! He is not a wild boxer anymore. I’ve seen all the big names when they just started out, all or most wild brawlers until they fine tune their style and discipline. Also, have you seen any knockouts by Johnny? He knocks them out cold! In my book that certainly makes him a HARD puncher. As for Flo, I don’t know if its my imagination, but to me Flo has increased in size and strength with every fight. Give these guys a break and you shall see the results.

    Roberto you seem to know boxing but gosh you are extremely negative and critical. If you read articles Harold wants to market Johnny as a Cruiser and Harold clearly says in his articles Johnny would be a great Heavyweight in about two years time. I don’t think Harold has any plans for these two youngsters to fight Vitali or Wladimir anytime in the next year so you can relax. With the right training and guidance we can have two great champs. Go Johnny!

Look, I do agree that GGP is quick to rave about their prospects prior to the fighter actually doing anything but don’t forget this is their platform and in fact the praise they heap on their fighters sells tickets. That’s the fight game. In Flo’s case he hits like a canon, is a bit stiff but has potential. I’d be interested in finding our his current weight, can’t believe it’s 90kgs.

    GGP, did you recently sack anyone in the office? Seems like Roberto has a nice lil ae to grind.

    I see it like this, they are both youngsters and have plenty potential. GGP has never come out and openly said they were going to be a lock on as heavyweight champions of the world. All they did is speculate and build hype to sell tickets. Roberto, you seem to have a grasp of the money side of things.

    The part where you seem to just be rocking the boat is the fact that you think a guy who has amateur eperience(That would be Johnny) has no chance against European kids with similar records.

    Think of it this way – how many good heavyweights are there in the top 15 under the age of 25?

    Not many hey?

    Bringing Johnny and Flo along in the manner in which the good people at GGP are, gives these 2 kids every chance of getting a shot at the bigtime.

    You seem to have something personal against GGP, Johnny, Flo or all 3. Please dont let it cloud your judgement, you could just end up with your foot in your mouth, sour grapes on your lap and someones big fist in your eye.

He’s a cheat and should learn a hard lesson. He is a decent boxer with very home looks and could’ve been good for local boxing but he should first serve out his punishment whatever that may be.

I didn’t see anything different from him. In fact, he got caught in the 3rd. He failed to impress came he failed to knock his opponent out. So yes, nothing new there.

    Jason Bedeman is exciting no doubt. He can fight. But he needs to learn very quickly about the art of hitting and not getting hit. If he continues with that ‘dont give a shit’ attitude of fighting then he’ll have a short career.He needs to learn how to slip and block punches.Tommy Gun,he knocked everyone out but soon as he stepped up a level it was points points.He has little defence,and he cant fight on the inside.And the opponents he beat on points were a higher level than what he’s used to.they were on a higher level but nowhere near world class.so when he fights a true world class super middle, he wont know what to do.Munyai seems ok.Would like to see him fight better opposition.Hopefully he’ll deliver

Do you know how many super middles in the world there are? And I’m not even talking about the top 20. You’ll find boxers who’re rated at 115 but they will beat the world champ.Tommy in my eyes is untested.He hasn’t fought any boxers with any ambition.I think chilembe is a very good boxer at light heavy, at super middle he’s not that affective.But I think if tommy boy can beat him well then he’s going places.

He lost the weight and took the 12 rounder and some great shots from Bolling but was never in trouble. Sure it was a boring fight, but it was a win he deserved.

    No amigo. ou dont have to be good to have a home defence. You dont have to be good to know not to keep your head upright and not to bring your hands back to your chin.Its part of the basics of boxing. And the fact that he’s not doing those little things, tell me he’s not training them in the gym because nobody’s teaching him it. Tommy is ok at a certain level, but because of his lack of quality technical training, it will cost him. Seems like with the ibo he’ll be safe because opponents are hand picked, unlike the WBC,WBA, and IBF where the best fights the best

    Have none of you noticed that it is becoming somewhat of a hallmark of Harold trained fighters tht their hands are normally positioned around their ankles…He isnt a defensive coach and doesnt employ a defensive tactician to sort out the problems.

    Tommy, Flo – quick movers but when that speed runs dry later in life they would have to rely on their defensive skills…skills they may not posess. They could end up like Roy Jones.

    He had all the speed in the world and never needed defensive technique until that speed ran out. Suddenly he was getting smacked and hit the downward spiral. Bernard Hopkins on the other hand learned the art and this erased his reliance on speed.

    Lesson learned.

    And people please let’s see Roberto doesn’t like anybody, who does he favour?
    I mean he sounds like a jealous trainer!
    I could assure you Harold is a Brilliant trainer, like I said yesterday, a rude awaking, is on he’s way.

    Why doesn’t he teach the art of defence. At the end of the day, Harold is just a name thats all. He lost his hunger dos boxing many years ago. Thats why corrie sanders was never fit.

    One can see you might know boxing Roberto but each to their own. You have something negative to say about nearly all the boxers. But yes, you are allowed your opinion and so am I and in my eyes your opinions are negative and they suck. These young guys train their guts out to become champions and that doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and a lot of hard work and we as fans stand by them and support them where we can. I would like to see your comments in a year’s time when Johnny Muller has taken the International scene by storm.

    Roberto you must be an ex boxer and someone must have knocked the crap out of you! We all know our young talent like Tommy, Johnny and Flo needs alot of work and there is always room for improvement but hell brother, do you have to put everybody down and be insulting? No my friend, we know our guys still need alot of training and we try to help by giving advise where we can and motivate and build up the guys not knock all their efforts. Damn aren’t you a ray of sunshine! I should employ you at my company for team building exercises LOL

    Seems like you ladies easily get offended. I’m just old skool,i’m not easily impressed.No I’m not negative about all of our boxers.I say things I see it. If any of you experts bother to read wrat I said about Mwlase and Ndou you’ll see I said it should be fight of the year.Bothe are world class.but Mwlase lacks the experience.Read further,you’ll see i said if tommy can bect isaac WELL then he’s heading for big things.I know what boxers put themselves through to prepare 4 a fight,but there is a lot more to that to make it to use top

    Britt why are you mentioning jarred lovett? Forget about him, he’s a disgrace to boxing and to sport. He thought he could use steroids to enhance his performance even though he knew its illegal. He should never be allowed to box again.
