@raznomore Huni looked suspect in his last fight against an opponent that can get inside his reach. All this will show is the very shallow pond that is Australian boxing.

@antipodean the shallow pond that is world wide heavyweight boxing.

@mn5 I hope you're right but I don't like the odds.
Lamar Odom vs Aaron Carter.
Odom was once a respected Laker. Then he married a Kardashian. Went off the rails as men of the Kardashians usually do. Overdosed in a brothel. Was in a coma for a good while. Has been in and out of rehab but by all accounts was coming good. His net worth is still in the $30m bracket but obviously that's not accurate. Otherwise why else do you take this fight.
Aaron Carter is the younger brother of Nick Carter. The tall blonde Backstreet Boy. Aaron was a teen heart throb a million years ago. Didn't age well. Looks like a crack fiend. Which he is. He definitely needed the pay check as big bro doesnt share his wealth.

Pfffft Huni schools Gallen. Huni's a future world champ and possible gold medallist. The only thing I have a few doubts about him is his power and chin but this is a training run for him tonight.
If he loses, I'll stop watching boxing for good.

Huni could have ended the fight about 4 times but carried him in there, focusing on inside work to the body and using his uppercut. If he bothered using his straight right he probably would have stopped him but looked more focused on getting some practice in.
Credit to Gallen, he's one tough fighter and does belong in the sport.

I went to a mates near by to watch the fight as he was dumb enough to pay for it.
Gallen is tough. Respect where respect is due.
Huni is 22 and did everything I hoped except KO Gallen early. Lacked the power to properly sleep Gallen. However having seen Gallen take a few of Mark Hunts shots Im not sure Huni lacks power to KO other fighters and more a case of Gallen being a legit hard head. Those body shots were brutal.
Gallen will piss and shit blood tomorrow. Thats not a joke, that's boxing reality .

watched the highlights
watching Paul Gallen get repeatedly punched in the head was quit delicious. Should have been stopped earlier, i reckon he was out of it when he tackled Huni
I didn't see much from Huni that made me think he's got a big future, but that may have been the calibre of the opposition
Gallen is a legit tough fluffybunny, i'll give him that, and promotes his fights well by talking shit. But should learn his level for his own good.

A legend in one sport and gave another a bloody good go. You’d think that would be enough.

You’re such a Queenslander.

Gallen's clearly a hard nut but totally outclassed last night. Exposed as a 38 year old who'd been in top physical condition for decades taking up a new sport. The question remains why Huni took so long to finish the fight. Was he working on fitness, technique against a smaller boxer charging in, paid by the round?

The losingest player in Origin history. For legend substitute trivia question.

Mid 20s I’d say. I wonder what he’d look like these days. Probably completely shaven head but with a beard.

He was like those English props in the 90s or Scotland’s Finlay Calder. Looked about 60 when he was late 20s and stayed there.
