At least. Those fights start late, at least the main event does. It's being streamed somewhere, and I think PPV in OZ. I'll check though, if it's free on SKY, I'll try to tape it. Some decent undercards, especially Meehan, who is 12-0.

yeah saw press conference Meehan (only sitting down) looked a huge unit - his career has been a slow burner - he fought in NZ years ago

Costing $40 on SKY tonite. No thank you.
RE: NZ boxing - News,Views and gossip. - bart - 03-23-2022

I do expect it to be a decent bash Hall could upset the apple cart but $40 for non elite boxers....naa

Sonny Bill Williams knocks out AFL great inside two minutes
Sonny Bill Williams has won his fight against AFL great Barry Hall in Sydney on Wednesday night with a first round knockout.
Hall fell to the canvas twice, the first time from a shot the referee could be heard saying he didn't see, before Williams delivered the knockout blow inside two minutes of the first round.
Just over 90 seconds, Hall was given his first standing count after Williams landed a right hand above the AFL great's left ear.
Hall would last barely five seconds after recovering from the first official knockdown.

Thanx for the video bart. Bring on Gallen. SBW looked good, but he needs to keep that left up.
RE: NZ boxing - News,Views and gossip. - bart - 03-24-2022
He did look good all the physical attributes - the only thing left is to see how he reacts to getting caught
Very good performance though- Andy Lee has the midas touch

Can't fault SBW this time, he looked a lot more like a boxer in there than Hall did.
