[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 361410, member: 38640"] His two opponents so far have been so terrible I'll put my money on you. When he bet Ryan "Hulk" Hogan (a seeming parody of Eric "butterbean" Esch), he didn't look like he was all that good, but I guess we won't know until he fights someone of quality. No problem with doing boxing training as a fitness tool, providing it is used to improve your rugby. I'm not convinced it is in SBW's case. Plenty of good All Blacks were good boxers, Bunce, Rush and Masoe to name a few, but it's just that I don't think entering a pro boxing match, before your first season of S14 is neccesarly a good indicator of where your mind set is. That being said, it is a part of his contract apparently, so I guess the NZRU can hardly complain. I also admit that if it was Ma'a Nonu entering a boxing match before his S14 season, I wouldn't be quite so cynical, so I suppose that's a dirty double standard. In terms of his skills, I think Liam Messam actually looked better than SBW, at least in this vid - [media=youtube]LGS0WqPDNRo[/media] [/QUOTE]
