I've watched Justice Huni last 2 fights.

He's a fucking monster and the real deal. Gallen has done well to carve out a niche for himself within the pop boxing game. But Huni will clean his clock. Thats the end of the road for Gallen.

@kiwiinmelb wilder is such a fucking idiot. He could bide his time and just wait out the winner. Taking a couple shitty opponents in the mean time. But no he wants to fuck up the biggest fight in recent history to only lose again.

At least SBW had the good sense to realise that there it was no more fun and games after he was one round from going to hospital. Gallen will be the next Hopoate. Will build a record beating up bums and half-cripples then get destroyed by a recovering drug addict who was a contender a decade or more prior.

SBW got injured? Which fight? I haven't kept an eye on him apart from chuckling last year when I read what Tyson said
https://www.boxingscene.com/mike-tyson-views-sbw-fight-insult-boxing-wants-real-boxer--148797
And TBH I think he might have caused SBW a few too many problems, at 53 even!

Surely you remember the Botha fight? The 12 rounder that suddenly became 10 when SBW was on the verge of being knocked out. That was about 8 years ago and I don’t believe he has boxed since despite his generous offer to Iron Mike.

Imagine if it was a prime Frans Botha ( no seriously, imagine it ) SBW would be in a world of trouble.

Six years is a long time to be inactive in the fight game. Is he still seriously in line to fight Gallen at any stage ?

It’s all a massive joke isn’t it. It would be like taking 13 elite boxers with a basic understanding of league , giving them the best training for a couple of months and then have them play a game against 13 broken down losers who they found in a pub the afternoon of the game.

It's no more a joke than Gallen kicking off a career, after no real boxing ever at the end of his career....

SBW is now mod 30s with some boxing background. Gallen is late 30s and the biggest draw in Aussie boxing. Or are we saying that boxing in Aussie, on indeed, the world is a joke.

Is this an argument against it being a joke?

@rancid-schnitzel for it to be an argument I guess there would need to be opposing views. I see no need for debate here

@raznomore Easily a future world champ imo. Don't think he'll get gold at Tokyo (Jalolov has his number), but he's well on his way to winning a world title. Fighting Gallen will get him much needed exposure which is very important in the pro game, and whether people like him or not, Lonergan is a good promoter.

Weird how my opinion of these two has flipped. But who knows how much is AJ and how much is his management. That tweet was clearly from the thumbs of Fury

He definitely went to the same school as @Virgil by the looks of things.
