The fighting styles, physiques and sportsmanship of both Barry Hall and Paul Gallen - by default - represented their respective football codes, with the…
Great points made IAP. It was great to watch the speed as you say and at least we had a decent look at Hall move as boxer.

I was in my comfort zone watching I must admit. It’s a tough sport… the training and fitness is thru the roof I reckon. Tx for comment.

I see it the same. That’s an interesting hypothetical about Bugner. At least it’s been good to see a glimpse of Hall boxing at this level. He was always good value on the field too… club loyalties aside!? Yep the pair did great… phew… in their ‘other’ sport.

Not a bad idea Big Daddy, I like the sentiment behind it, but do you mean 100% of profits from the rematch…. Wow… would be great PR. Where should the money go I wonder? Tx for comment.

Yep its seems a tip of the iceberg would get the big payoffs Christov. I wonder how they compare in this way to other pro sports. Not sure too many sports people are fitter overall on average (there’s another discussion) … so for effort they would deserve something substantial. I hope they at least get enough to cover insurance!!

Agreeing with you here Succhi. The Hall speed and contact was worth a watch on its own. Glad you added here with your observations.

Thanks for your comments and analysis Judith. Much appreciated. It’s encouraging to hear you found those angles about Hall’s physical pursuits and family, past and present.

Thanks for commenting on this article jamesb! At least he ‘got out’ and into the ring… eventually!!

I would side with a 60-40 againsy it, but…boxers do come back s bit don’t they (I learnt that watching Rocky V). Hall has repeated since the bout that his family is his priority. He’ll wrestle with family versus the income he could reap I guess as well as considerhsi reputation (do boxers think about injury?) I wonder if Hall will have more to gain or to lose???
