A Tasmanian boxing promoter is willing to shell out $100,000 for Aussie Rules football star Barry Hall to fight rugby league bad boy John Hopoate in Hobart next summer. http://www.sportsnut.com.au/entry.php?intid=6357
This would be good to see....Hoppa trying to Ko Hall in the first 3 rounds...maybe he would come close..maybe not....if it goes longer he would become tired if he was unable to KO Hall....Hall would pick Hoppa off in the next 4 rounds before a stoppage win to Hall...I don't think this fight will go on because Hall needs some warn ups before he tekes on Hoppa or anybody of substance in his first fight..
Yeah I think Hoppa will win if Baz doesn't have a few warm up fights first, but thats if it happens.... and for **** sake why are all these boxing promoters throwing so much money at footballers??? Since when did being a good footy player mean your gonna make it in the fight game??? i havent watched an AFL game for a while but last time i did there arent a whole lot of things that can be learnt from afl that will help u in da ring
Hall by late KO. Hoppa will burn himself out early doing his waterless freestyle swimming stroke routine. LOL
Actually you are quite right. The only thing close to fighting you will pick up in AFL is pushing and shoving, chest bumping, and jersey grabbing and headlocks. I do think Hall would be safe to get a warm up fight.:bbb
Please for the sake, and credibility of Australian boxing, please do not let this fight happen, its going to make australian boxing more of a laughing stock than it is at the moment, well thats the way it's heading anyway, by the recent fights we've seen, and the people turning to it. If barry hall fights Hoppa, its going to be similar to the fight Matt Seers and the other fellow who KO'ed Andrew Johns had on the Footy Show last Thursday. We need to nurture boxers at a young age into the sport,we don't need any sidekicks in it..
ok well please name 3 - i am curious to hear the reasons. Barry Hall would have naturally better footwork, speed and agility oh yeah and stamina. What has hoppa got beside a huge looping left hook that is as slow as a wet week?
Yeah its cool, i just have to stand up to you rugby boys, i love rugby too (go sharks) but i know AFL is a far more skilled game :hey :hey and better boxers :bbb
iv worked it out........ uppercut and notdye .......i know who these guys are.............................get ready .....................you know these guys................. uppercut and notdye are...................... Jonny Lewis & Angelo Hyder :nut :nut :nut :nut :nut :nut
