Big Daddy Browne stops Hopoate in two

By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing

Former WBA heavyweight champion Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne (29-2, 25 KOs) stopped John Hopoate (12-7, 11 KOs) on Saturday at the StMarys Band Club, StMarys, NSW, Australia. Browne dropped Hopoate twice in round one. In round two, Hopoate connected with a solid combination, but the former world champion regained control and was connecting with a barrage of punches on the former first grade footballer that had him out on his feet when referee Les Fear called the fight off at 2:55.

  • He’s still pretty good but I don’t know if he can get back to the top again. He shouldn’t be getting tagged by semi pro fighters.

    • He was only warming the chair when he was at “the top ” ………too old,too slow and has become a club fighter but he’s pretty tough,I’ll give him that !!

  • “Hopoate connected with a solid combination, but the former world champion regained control.”

    “Former world champion”? This must be some kind of joke…

  • Please get it right Brown was never a former world champion he got banned by the WBA for taking drugs and it was not classed as a win.

  • Lucas Browne in my opinion would make a better sparring partner for the upper class fighters than he does as a fighter with hopeful dreams of making it back to the top. Browne’s record is truly an illusion of a great-accomplished record only governed by so-so fighters with a few real-good fights. No, I am not a fan.

  • Remember that time Lucas Browne had lined himself back up to a top contender spot in the WBA (World Belt Awarders) and he called Dylan Whyte out like a big tough guy and got laid out?
    Good times!

  • Tbh by the time he got the big fights he was too old. I remember when he took out towers! He was a beast back then! It took five years for the big fights to happen shame he didn’t get a fight like the whyte fight in his peak years
