    Sonny Bill Williams to fight this 40 something year old obese guy- who happens to be on sickness benefits....:patsch What's the point?? It's nice that they're raising money for Canterbury after the recent disasters... but this **** just brings boxing into disrepute (even more so).

    Mundine must of helped create the match knowing what he's like with his opponents :rofl

    I don't mean to offend but does this bloke also have Down Syndrome ?

    These ****s are making the sport of boxing a laughing stock.

    Williams' opponent is no different to the level the vast majority of all boxers with a bit of a name begin their careers.

    True enough. :good

    And then others like Mandy even continue it through the majority of their career. :yep

    I actually like SBW, I reckon he could do ok once trained up properly.
    At least he looks the goods and comes to the ring conditioned.

    I agree on the conditioning part Sox. Liava'a has fought better fighters than Williams, still I don't see him causing him any problems.

    Why on earth do people go to these events or even watch them for free in a pub ?
    90 % of people in this world must be complete idiots.

    Why? I'd watch it free at the pub if it were local enough to me.

    No way I'd pay for it though.

    This is true- and herein lies the problem. Do you not think it is reasonable to expect SBW to fight someone reasonably competitive if they are charging for the fight?

    I mean the guy was on sickness benefits FFS... How can he expect anyone to take him seriously?

    Would watch Mundine vs Toliver for free. But wouldn't cross the street for Sonny Bill Williams vs the overweight loser they have him matched up against.

    I'd argue that for Sonny Bill's level, he will be reasonably competitive. He's been twelve rounds before and won and fought (and lost to I might add) to the likes of Mirovic, Kirby and Big Daddy Browne. It's no different to how most, if not all, prospects are matched. Do I think it's PPV quality? Nope.

    For Sonnys skill level and being a novice, the matchup is about right. More a amateur bout if anything...the fact that Sonny comes in conditioned and fit is what makes the matchup look weak. Not a bad payday for a part-time boxer!
