Tomorrow night’s card at Sydney’s Hordern Pavillion will have a distinct rugby league feel with Sharks skipper Paul Gallen and Roosters young gun Willis Meehan involved in the undercard for the Daniel Geale v Jarrod Fletcher middleweight bout.
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is predicting easy victories for the NRL hardmen, with Gallen $1.36 to overcome former team mate turned bikie Anthony Watts ($3.00).
Willis Meehan is regarded as a budding superstar in both league and boxing, and the son of former pro boxer Kali Meehan is $1.20 against Willie Nasio, who’s a $4.00 outsider.
“Paul Gallen won’t take a backward step to anyone, just ask Dave Smith, but his opponent Anthony Watts is hard as nails and looks like he’s been living in the gym since retirement. Gal’s good looks may just be in danger here – oh hang on!” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
In the main event, Daniel Geale is the hot $1.30 favourite to beat Queenslander Jarrod Fletcher ($3.50).
