    As a Dragon's supporter, Latimore was a fairly average bench prop.

    He was a journeyman but still not easy to have longevity in first grade.

    He did was he paid to do and was rarely injured. I guess for a league player concussion is a fairly regular thing, but starting pro boxing at nearly 40 seems to be a bit ambitious.

    Yeah and not a natural fighter say like a Paul Gallen who was just a junkyard dog even in his late 30’s early 40’s

    You can clearly tell why he pulled out of the Tim fight. He was probably going to get beat up by Nikita and he ran.
    With Tims form back then it would of been an absolute beat down similar to what he did to Horn.
    Yet Tim always hated Flografa and would of susttained a beating on him instead of a quick KO. Zarafa knew this hence hid under his bed.

    Tim probably would’ve given him a career ending beat down

    That little one-two Gallen put on Nate Miles in Origin way back when we were all a bit younger spoke of plenty of boxing training. It wasn't about picking a stink, it was all about shutting a rampant gob very efficiently.

    Zerafa now claiming he spent the night in hospital and has suffered a shattered eye socket and damage to his retina.

    After his lies last night, it is hard to believe a word he says.

    Was interesting to hear Peter Badel mention that Zerafa had tried to pull out of Hardman bout several days out with injury
    Then the commission asked for evidence, none was provided and the bout went ahead with Zerafa KOing Hardman

    Also heard he was going to pull out of the Lara fight due to his sister being unwell.

    Zerafa’s old trainer said he was going to cut himself with a knife to get out of the Tim Tszyu fight before using covid as an excuse.

    That's what i also found strange about last night
    Where were Zerafa's regular coach/cutman?
    He had both Josh Arnold and Matt Clark, both guys are Qld based.
    Why wouldn't he travel without his regular team?
