Sonny Bill Williams VS Gary Gurr

[The Tuaman]

SBW will make his professional (and probably one off fight) debut against Kiwi street brawler Gary Gurr. Gurr is known around the Auckland area for knocking out bouncers at nightclubs and for organised bareknuckle street fights (AKA Kimbo Slice) Gurr is hardman, who'll bring the sort of raw toughness and agression that should test SBW. One would think SBW will have the superior conditioning and athletic ability but it could be an uncomfortable first round for SBW until the Street fighter Gurr Tires!

[WhataRock]

How does Gurr look physically Tuaman? Problem is with streetfighters they are absolutely clueless in the ring if the other bloke doesnt drop after 3 punches and tend to quickly tire.

[The Tuaman]

He's around 1.86cm and 100kgs apparently a builder by trade so in reasonable nick 31 years of age just loves fighting!

I heard his trainer/manager did a bit if a piss take promotional thing that will screen on the news tonight!

[Watto]

Well this will b a brawl then no chance it will go the distance,id like to see sonni do a Hoppa in his debut

How solid is your mail Tuaman?? I've seen the same rumour elsewhere too but...

Plenty of people like this guy grab at their 15 minutes of fame by making some noise in the press.

Just can't see SBW agreeing to what would amount to a slugfest. Reckon more likely he'll be looking for an easy bout against someone who just isn't capable of doing him any harm.

Tend to agree.....a seasoned pro will beat a street fighter in the ring because he has the ability to move, counter and defend the barrage until the street fighter is shot...then the boxer will finish him

However SBW is no seasoned pro fighter.....he could be KTFO in 30 seconds....dont think mundine would let that happen

[sallywinder]

mundine might let it happen...depending on how pissed off he is about the 500k sbw owes him...

[westside]

I see Khoder is not promoting this fight? .. very interesting.

[leati]

How does Gurr look physically Tuaman? Problem is with streetfighters they are absolutely clueless in the ring if the other bloke doesnt drop after 3 punches and tend to quickly tire.these type go all out in the 1strnd & run out of steam.good luck SBW

[Francis75]

Come on now. We all know this guy will be a bum. Lets not make out that this fight will be anything more than it is.

[bigrick]

Be scared SBW, be scared! I have personally known Gary 'The Baboon' Gurr for a number of years an have never met a man with the arm strength and power as Gurr.
He's mad as a bag of snakes with the speed, guts and determination as a group 1 race horse.
Known for his bareknuckle brawls in the back streets of Auckland, i have personally watched him take down many high profile sports stars in arm wrestles whilst chatting up the local ladies and sipping away on a whisky, a huge testament to his arm strength.
This man won't go down without a fight, he has taken out bigger men than Sonny Bill in a blink of an eyelid his whole life and his call 'i'll finish him in the first so i can get to the bar' shouldn't go unheard.
I'll personally be at the fight to watch SBW come unstuck to this modern day Tyson, and witness the brawler with a ticker the size of pharlap!

the guys not a boxer & clearly you have no idea, so you and your opinions can seriously fuck off.

[Marcus]

ha ha ha ha

this is classic!! maybe not true but fucking funny!

holy shit rick.....sounds like you either suck the babbons dick or your totally out of your fucking mind.

does his training go like this..... fiss n chups....bear.....some more drunks.....out of the town with tha bros....i bit of a fight hey......hey bro?

[westside]

that video is hilarious.

[Marcus]

whats the vid? im on mobile.

[rongee90]

Gary Gurr will end up knocking him self out! SBW fitness and stamina will no doubt pull him through with maybe a few boxing skills. He's an exceptional talent thats only in the ring to increase PPV and pay back mundines camp.

[sambo1987]

whats the vid? im on mobile.

Sonny Bill doing some basic training.

Seriously though, if he thinks he can roll his shoulders like that, then my girlfriend will not be enjoying his good looks for long..

Hope he's taking this more seriously then the video suggests.

[westside]

Hope he's taking this more seriously then the video suggests.

no it says it all really.

[Marcus]

thanks sambo.

has there ever been a fight on a mundine undercard that was set for more than 6 rounds? fuck i hate choc and his team.

[westside]

the undercard is poor.

though, take it from me, there is fast running out people who are willing to deal with the camp here in australia.

[LeonMcS]

No wonder Teke left.

To be honest Leon I am a little disappointed - that post was tailor-made for your humour and yet no epistle is yet forthcoming

The only thing that made Gurr vaguely resemble a boxer was the fact he was wearling gloves - and they were pink!

....and people are gonna pay to watch this on the night.
....circus!!

[BoppaZoo]

Man Gurr looks like an actor. More than a street fighter.

This is funny but it would be even more funny if it ended with Gurr winner by KO round 1 10 seconds into the bout.

Like a Jimmy Thunder type fight.

6Y6kog5RJKY

[Melbourneborn]

If this Gary Gurr joker was actually getting in the ring with a boxer, even a bloke with a handful of am fights.. it'd be a very short affair.

People don't seem to understand the difference between mugs and fighters. If someone trained at golf, everyday, every week, for years on end (as would be required for someone to have a handful of am fights than turn pro), and had a game against a bloke with no real experiance other than a bit of mini golf, how would it go? For some reason people think street-fighting = boxing. Street-fighters are fucks. And its disrespectful to the sport to even compare them to boxers.

Having said all that, SBW is obviously no fighter himself. So, it'll probably be a touch entertaining and make mega $$!

On another note, speaking about Jimmy Thunder, I know a run-in he had with a well known individual in the fighting (but not boxing) industry. The end result being that this man (maybe 10-15 years Jimmys senior) put the big Kiwi to sleep. Anyone else heard the story?

[The Tuaman]

Mate i have heard the same thing about Thunder, theres a story going that went something like "His name is Thunder, But was out like Lightning" was it noit a Melbourne Bouncer who decked him cold

People seem to think beating up a well known boxer is something special...

I knocked out a 2 time oz amateur champ(he was champ at the time) at penrith rsl one night..I owned him but im sure if i got into a sanctioned bout with rules he would of boxed my ears off..


Whole different ballgame.

[clarksgtr]

Hi guys. I know Gary and his family. His father was a tittle holder in boxing back in England. I'm told by a reliable source that Gary was "golden gloves" and never lost a fight in his amateur career. He is tough loves to fight and is fearless. I am going to back Gary ($100) to KO SBW, probably in the first round. Gary was sparring with some American boxers training over here. There trainer asked Gary not to hit them so hard with his body shots as they could not handle the power of his punches. During his training he uses 40lb weights tied to his feet while doing chin ups. Can even do sets with a girl on his back. SBW is in for a rude awakening/quick sleep. You guys in Aussie should do your homework first before commenting and wasting peoples time, ah Melourneborn.

Stop talking BS mate. You say this Gary nobody never lost an amateur fight ? Well is that because he maybe never had any ? I say on the night this bum looks like some labourer off a building site and gases after 90 seconds and goes down. Say goodbye to your $100 :hi:

[westside]

now ive just watched the video. circus is the only way to describe this.
that dude jabbing the bag is hilarious. gimme a fuckin break. that guy aint no boxer.

[clarksgtr]

lol Fair enough. Should be good to watch anyway.

[Francis75]

lol Fair enough. Should be good to watch anyway.

Yeah it's just a bit of fun on the undercard. It doesn't mean anything. It's just there to sell a few more tickets for Mundine. The mainevent is the one that counts. Keep posting mate. :good

[clarksgtr]

Check out his arm muscles. A couple of good body shots and ...........
We do not have any way of legaly placing bets on that fight over here in NZ. Have Aussie TAB's listed any odds for the SBW fight?

Cheers

TAB will only take bets on title fights, so no, your best bet (hyuk hyuk) will be an online agency.

Not sure if you can bet on this fight in Oz but i don't recommend you put money on your mate Gary winning :-( because Mundine's people chose him as an opponent for Sonny Bill Williams for a reason.

He was actually available and called out Sonny Bill but Khoder deemed him to much of a threat so they wheeled out this Gary nobody to be the fall guy.

he has contributed more to this thread than you westside. so id be happy to see 'you fuck off'......

He does chinups or whatever with little girls on his back.So fucking what..

Should see what i do in the sack with grown WOMEN..

I cant believe i missed this 1..lol..

You should seriously become a promoter or atleast car salesmen..Man you can talk some shit.

With the power,speed etc you boast about,why is it Gurr is fighting Sonny Six weeks in training Williams??

[Francis75]

The way Gary has been talked up here by his mates i'm starting to think he may be the most outstanding prospect in world boxing. I don't understand how he slipped through the fingers of Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions.Will Gary be calling out one of the Klitschko's after he dismantles Sonny Bill with those big strong arms of his.

[samnz3]

No doubt gary is reading these, so good luck mate from your bed and breakfast family the walton street crew. Sam3

[rabbitoh14]

I think you are all being a bit harsh!!

It was nice to see the Gurr family take the time to log on to ESB to talk up little Gary

[sallywinder]

.......as against, an temperamental potential rugby league 'superstar' whom is so injury prone that a suck on the cock gives him a groin injury...( i hope gary doesnt think of that one) so one wonders what a flying elbow will do?

should be an interesting night.....:hey

Gary does drink heaps and does fight heaps. One of you was right, Gary is also a tv personality here in New Zealand. He was the builder in a house renovation tv series over here for the past couple of years. His favourite hobby seems to be intimitating the bouncers in Takapuna. I own a bar where Gary and his brother Dave hang out alot and have seen Gary take on all comers in arm wreslting during the night. No one yet has even come close. His arm strenth is amazing and he has speed. If any of you have a serious question you want Gary to answer, let me know and I will post his answer.

i see a recurring theme here

[sallywinder]

i have a question.....id like his resting pulse rate....

serious!

also, what exercise does he do?
what sport does he play?



.

[Marcus]

how many beers has he drunk this week?

[sallywinder]

ashley asked...

I have a "serious" question

How was he picked for this fight?

[clarksgtr]

The promotors had lots of conditions eg must be over 30 years of age, must not have had a proffessional fight, be under a certain height and weight etc. Luckily he knew Gary and his family though boxing over here.
Gary had one beer last friday that I saw at the boxing in Auckland.
I will ask Gary what is heart rate at rest is. Probably depend if there is a pretty girl in his vision. Boys like a stag in the "roar" season. His sport is taking out bouncers that look sideways at him.
I do how ever feel sorry for SBW.

[TheDuke]

WTF is going on?

[TheDuke]

Clark and Gary hold hands while they watch that one

[clarksgtr]

Nah mate, all is good. Just trying to explain that instead of picking an easy beat opponent for SBW they got more than they bargined for. I will stop trying this suttle approach and just say my monies on Gary for a knock out, maybe even in the first round although I think they may be short rounds. He has had lots of boxing experience and if SBW gets hit he will know about it when he wakes up and views a replay.

haha... he doesnt have lots of boxing experience. that video is hilarious

[rongee90]

Two other NSW Amateur Boxers were offered to go pro and fight Sonny but Later turned down by matchmaker George Reno because it was too much of a threat for him. One was Mike Bourke and the other one Guy Sinclair (sparring Mike Peachey). Bourke I think was NSW State super heavy champ and Guys and up and comer.

My moneys on Gary up until the end of the second round...Then the beer will kick in!

The Clarksgtr,

Has gary fought amature and if so what was his record?

Cheers.

[clarksgtr]

I played poker with his brother last night. He confirmed that as an amature he never lost a fight. Never heard of him losing a fight with bouncers either. His last outing found him holding a bouncer down in a submission hold with the bouncer reciting the alphabet for all to hear. Apparently he did not want to hurt that one physically. LOL

[kel]

Is this Clark dude some sort of promotional tool Knoder has devised to drum up ticket sales. No way the bloke fighting SBW will be any good.

Sacrafical lamb springs to mind

First rd stoppage SBW.................... hope i'm wrong

[clarksgtr]

Just building up hype for the fight. I want as many of you as possible to buy tickets to the fight. You guys should be happy to just watch two kiwis beat each other.

This man won't go down without a fight, he has taken out bigger men than Sonny Bill in a blink of an eyelid his whole life and his call 'i'll finish him in the first so i can get to the bar' shouldn't go unheard.

Jesus Christ, this must be a fucking joke!
:lol:
Good one, mate.

[Drunkenboxer]

Is this Clark dude some sort of promotional tool Knoder has devised to drum up ticket sales. No way the bloke fighting SBW will be any good.

Sacrafical lamb springs to mind

First rd stoppage SBW.................... hope i'm wrong

Have you seen him hitting the heavybag? Fucking atrocious! His jab is an underarm backhand, it's pure shit!

[leati]

Be scared SBW, be scared! I have personally known Gary 'The Baboon' Gurr for a number of years an have never met a man with the arm strength and power as Gurr.

Drunkenboxer I think you are remembering the wrong sport entirely. If I remember correctly it was a cricket match were an backhander was given for an under arm. Gee was,nt it YOUR team that did it.

first fight, no experience. we knew hed never have a jab. if he can land a right in the first 50 sec...hes the winner.:yep

[lefty]

Check out his arm muscles. A couple of good body shots and ...........
We do not have any way of legaly placing bets on that fight over here in NZ. Have Aussie TAB's listed any odds for the SBW fight?

Cheers

What do arm muscles have to do with anything? Your power doesn't come from your arms, it comes from timing, coordination and core strength, one motion from feet to fists. Unless this guys arm muscles are so big and strong that he slaps sonny bill to death like a wild gorilla, that would be something.

Oh Fuck me! Kiwi poster comes on board and can't go 48 hours before bringing up the underarm incident - that was nearly 30 years ago - haven't you poor bastards got over it yet??? :huh

[ozziebattler]

OB... Things get better mate, Warrick Capper has been scheduled for a fight in Melbourne.......... Im fkn serious!

The end is near....

Whats the odds of Capper coming out in speedos??

[ozziebattler]

I played poker with his brother last night. He confirmed that as an amature he never lost a fight. Never heard of him losing a fight with bouncers either. His last outing found him holding a bouncer down in a submission hold with the bouncer reciting the alphabet for all to hear. Apparently he did not want to hurt that one physically. LOL


Ofcourse you have never heard of Garry losing at anything because you got all your info from the wanker himself or his family members.

[dave fletcher]

The undercard is underdone for a World Title Fight but it's a shame that the boxers who are fighting on the undercard are overlooked by everyone because of all the hype over a footballer vs a so called street brawler. It may be would've been a good talking point if SBW was pitted against say Barry Hall from AFL in a clash of the codes with each receiving the same money and then donating it back to their respective codes through their junior bodies. That way it could've been pure entertainment instead of making a farce of the greatest game of all.

Described on a sporting blog website as a "modern-day Tyson" and "as mad as a bag of snakes with the speed, guts and determination of a group 1 race horse", Gurr is also known to win arm wrestles while chatting up women and drinking whisky, and his catch-cry is: "I'll finish him in the first so I can get to the bar".


:lol: Good on ya BigRick, you give noob's everywhere hope.

[fast hands]

.......as against, an temperamental potential rugby league 'superstar' whom is so injury prone that a suck on the cock gives him a groin injury...( i hope gary doesnt think of that one) so one wonders what a flying elbow will do?

should be an interesting night.....:hey

Sorry to bring this up. No doubt you remember that SBW isn't the only "Boxer" with Rugby League connections who has to endure a nagging injury.
Choc has a hip problem caused by having to hump around a huge chip on his shoulder over the last decade. [ I believe this was triggered by his non-selection in a representative football team ]

You have given nothing on Gary other than funny anecdotes.
If he never lost an amature fight it would be expected he represented his country at some point after winning a national title or atleast fought and won a notable tournament ,Fiji v NZ, Nth V Sth Golden Gloves etc..??
What amature accolades has he taken in his time?
Who has he fought amature...Elama, Mene, Paea, Kirkwood, Collins, Hawkes...etc..??

I hate being cynical about a bloke who is putting himself out there, very few do...but the wraps you are giving him on here are best left to be told around a camp fire after a few to many steinlagers.

I have questioned this before, hip op before Sturm? How's the hip going into the Geale fight?

[calebt]

Gurr might have a chance if he lands that one big haymaker in the first minutes or even the round, I don't know how Sonny's chin is so it's hard to say but he'll probably be too condition for Gurr and leave him sucking wind. Can't say anything at all though to be fair, have no idea on how hard or even how quick Sonny's hands are.

[flamengo]

From the Doctor's report, the experience will leave a nasty taste of leather for Geale.

For Mundine himself, he'll suffer from severe 'stretch marks' around the Wallet region, and suffer a lesser world wide regard.

As for Khoder... his mouth will be smiling... Whats new??

Good on ya BigRick, you give noob's everywhere hope.

Isn't it fantastic when a major newspaper reports the one time post of B.Rick and actually quotes him. Is it much of a stretch to suggest the "journo" involved, Brad Walter, didn't actually originate the quotes himself? Are they that desperate for copy?

Journalism 101 today, google a name and hey presto. Don't have enough to write? Join a forum, spin whatever bullshit you want and sit back.

So Brad, if you are still around, can you explain to me why just half an hour after 'B.Rick' posted, you had his comments up on your twitter stream?

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Waiting in anticipation of an explanation, expecting none...

[Big Kabosh]

Kia Ora,

I know Gary and his brother Dave so I thought i'd add my 2 cents....
That interview with Gary was just him taking the piss & hyping it up, don't take it so seriously - the media talking him up as Kimbo-like street fighter on the back streets of Auckland lol. Hes just a piss-head who likes a fight, a casual boxer at best who's has a few amatuer fights. He'll be giving away a huge reach advantage but dont be so quick to right him off.

All the pressure is on Sonny to deliver and he seems nervous - Gary is relaxed and just loving the chance to fight Sonny, if he looses he won't care, if he wins hes a legend. Obviously hes been chosen because he ticks all the boxes (age/height/experience) but Sonny may have bitten off more than he can chew here.

How many fights has Sonny had? Oh thats right, none. So don't just assume he can fight and that he can take a punch.

All you Aussies are so quick to write off the Kiwi underdog, don't you remember the leauge world cup? haha jokes - sorry if I struck a nerve there.

You herd it here first: GURRRRRRRRRR via The BIG KABOSH!!

You do knowSBW is a Kiwi as well so none of us assies give a fuck who wins out of the sheep circus, oh and that world cup...must suck to be you since like the Anzac cup kiwis got smacked again, well in another 20 games when the kiwis fluke a win again come back and dribble some more.

[calebt]

Sheep jokes in '09?

Anyway as a fellow Mozzie myself Kabosh, you don't really think Gurr's street fighting skills can compare to Sonny's pro athlete conditioning in a boxing ring, do ya? The silliest thing Sonny could do is probably go toe-to-toe with him, he's gotta keep on his feet and let Gurr gas himself.

[shanemfr]

Wow what a coincidence a few new names that only pump this Gurrs cock here al lof a sudden, you wouldnt be the same person now would you calebt, big kabosh, this reminds me of the speedy days when Mundine had more than 3 fans

[calebt]

What the fuck are you talking about? When did I ever declare my support for Gurr? Try fucking reading.

[clarksgtr]

Gotta love all this hype. SBW looks good. Gary has a big heart and loves to fight. He stopped working and trains 3 times a day. Channel nine asked him to mouth off. Guess its to create interest and sell tickets. Could you please post where on the nett I can find someone willing to take $9-00 on Gary. I am sure if Gary can clobber three bouncers, whose job is to fight if nessassary, then one SBW should be no problem. Hope you all go see this fight or please bet big on SBW so Garys odds get better.

Agree with you in theory - would've added something to an otherwise absolutely shitefull support card.

Hall wouldn't have been available due to AFL contractual issues. But if he was would have put SBW to sleep in quick time. Hall has a very good grounding and extensive junior experience. SBW??

shanemfr - Sorry I know that wound hasn't healed yet but I've appologized already, good comeback tho...

The reason I joined this thread was just to give a bit of background on Gurr. I don't care about hyping it up, SBW is fighting, its already hyped.
I'm not trying to build up Gurr - I just wanted contribute to this thread and point out that he has had a few amateur fights, where as Sonny has not.

Of course Sonny should win - he's super fit and they've hand picked an opponet for him.
All im saying is its not a foregone conclusion so don't give Sonny player of the day just yet.

[COULDHAVEBEEN]

Minutes before a sparring session with Alex Leapai, Sonny Bill Williams was in his hotel room boiling a saucepan of water to mould a mouthguard he bought from the chemist.

"I said to 'Choc' that I didn't want this to be a charity fight, I want it to be serious," - SBW.

Have come across some of Mundines sparring from a mate who checked him out at his gym 2weeks ago..

Mundine looked very ordinary..I actually wouldnt be surprised is Geale wins via points though for him to do so he will have to constantly press the action.

I suspect Geale will have an impressive workrate through 12 rounds.
Mundine with all his class simply has no workrate, several fights he has won in his career have been dogged with claims he threw to few punches to win on the cards.
