Paul Gallen vs Barry Hall

[notaleaguefan]

was i reading right, 2 million to the winner,

for a 2min 6 round fight, gee wiz

I think they were talking about the winner then going up against SBW. Meaning tonight's fight plus the money for a fight against SBW would be near $2M.

I'm backing Gal to win tonight because RL players are far more athletically gifted than fumblers. Big bad Baz looks like a scared man the last couple of days so he could come out and unleash wildly through fear. If that happens he's a mugs chance of landing a lucky shot. That's his only chance.

Cool imagination terry!
Hunt and Folau proved your claim wrong! To the point they were less gifted than a bunch of kids!

Gallen should win as he had been pro boxing for the past 8 odd years. Hall has not, and hasn’t boxed even at an amateur level for nearly 18 plus years

[Fred]

Well a draw...who would have thought. Think we’ve all been taken for a ride.

[notaleaguefan]

I didn’t see any of the fight, but in theory Galen shud
Of had hall down on the canvas early out in a tko
A seasoned pro boxed fighting a someone whom hasn’t boxed in 20 years and stoped playing football 8 years ago and was 4 years older!

Hopefully a rematch is in order

Should be a rematch in Sydney with proper 3 minute rounds if there is one.
Hall had a lot of advantages in that fight. Shortened rounds and home town support.

Advantages.
Physically fresher due to sitting on his arse since 2011 after retiring

Gallen not so fresh due to turning to be a pro boxer since retiring

Hall not boxing for 20 odd years and Gallen well it’s his profession.

Regardless of the length of rounds Gallen should have easily of had hall on the ground

Hall was even seen taping his hands up well before the bout that had experts pointing out that was showing halls inexperience

A pro boxer vs a bloke in his 40s who didn’t even know when to apply tape to his hands

[Terry]

Well...…. credit where credit is due: Hill did ok. But if the fight was over 3 minute rounds he wouldn't have been smashed by round 3. Gallen was all over him at the end of each round. Add another minute and it would have been an annihilation.

But but but

No terry lolololoon
An Gallen is an experienced pro boxer, compared to a hall who hasn’t done anything for 8 years and hasn’t boxed for 20

Gallen still couldn’t put half down.

I wasn't commenting about their respective experience pal. I was simply pointing out something called …………...the truth!!!! You won't understand of course.

Hill went ok. Over 3 minute rounds he gets smashed!!!

Facts are good!!!!!!!!

Please concentrate wery wery hard pal and try and stay on point lololololol!!!!!!!!!!

[Fred]

Lots of talk on social media .. some saying gallon should have one some saying hall should have won and some saying the draw was apt. One journalist scored it as it went and had a draw. There’s a lot to consider in scoring boxing and even then we see differing and quite wide gaps in scoring. I think the 10/9 scoring keeps things close. Gallon staying he had more punches means something but not everything. Who attacked more, who defended well, quality of punches etc all come into it.

[Fred]

Here you go for those wondering what the judges are looking for


Effective Aggression – Being aggressive gives the impression of dominance, but unless the boxer is landing shots and not constantly getting countered, it’s not exactly “effective.” Judges look for effective aggression, where the aggressor consistently lands his punches and avoids those from his opponent.
Ring Generalship – The fighter who controls the action and enforces his will and style.
Defense – How well is a boxer slipping, parrying, and blocking punches? Good defense is important.
Hard and Clean Punches – To the untrained eye, it can appear as if a boxer is landing a lot of shots, when, in fact, most are being blocked or aren’t landing flush. A judge needs to look for hard shots that land clean.

Geez Fred's a waffler lololololololol!!!!

Hall had the height advantage, just as much time to train. He had a professional boxing team behind him just like Gallen.
Hometown advantage so he doesn't need to travel.
It was not like Hall had never boxed. He had experience.

By the way, what happened the last time an AFL player went 3 minute rounds against an NRL player lol???
Do you remember.

Mal Meninga punched him the fark out. This is why AFL players require the shorter rounds against NRL players in boxing matches. You guys know the history.

You shouldn't be able to change the rules to suit the fight to your advantage.

One is a pro fighter and other hasn’t boxed in 20 plus years.

At what point do you struggle to understand the difference

At what point do you struggle to understand that the last AFL player got knocked out when fighting an NRL player in 3 minute rounds.

Gallen is not a pro fighter. He was a pro footballer that has amateur boxing bouts.

Saying that I do think the Hall VS Gallen match seemed pretty even.

Gallen since retiring from the bumsniffing world has been a pro boxer with some 9 or 10 fights! Is still currently active

Hall last boxed before his afl playing days. He player doesn’t 9 or 10 years and retired in 2011 and don’t nothing else since except a bit of media work

He drew with Gallen who TKOd all in all of his past fights!

Gallen should have knocked hall out! But drew
