    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.

    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.

    Not sure but he looked like someone’s Dad with the bald head and mo even when he was aged in his early 30s.

    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.

    So after dispatching Gallen in a pointless bout, Huni has aggravated injuries to both hands and now won't be going to the Olympics.

    @antipodean still probably worth it. 300k in the bank. Profile bigger in Aus now so,can probably run a ppv himself now.

    gold medal opens more doors world wide. but 300k is 300k

    I'd say Huni has been offered money elsewhere. Probably the UK. Could go as high as a Dillian Whyte or Joseph Parker type fight.

    @jk Gee he must be rusty if he had to go life and death with a guy who gets brought in to lose all his fights.

    He might need a few fights at that level before looking at stepping up.

    Yes I did. I paid particular attention to when he got knocked down by a tomato can with a 2-14 record.
