Rob Burrow (Leeds Rhinos) Testimonail Boxing Dinner


Recommended Posts

Rob Burrows testimonial boxing dinner:

 

The following are the fights

 

The event will consist of 6 bouts, 2 of which will be a spectacle of proper boxing, and the remaining 4 will be just pure entertainment. In addition to my friends in rugby league, Lee Sharpe and Dean Windass have also very kindly offered to jump in the ring and show off their “skills”!

The Event:

 

Weller Hauraki (Leeds) v Keith Mason (Huddersfield)

 

Jamie Thackray (Barrow) v Micky Learmonth (Warrington)

 

Zac Hardaker (Leeds) v Jordan Tansey (Crusaders)

 

Lee Sharpe (Man United, Leeds) v Dean Windass (Hull, Bradford)

No idea what sort of shape Sharpe and Windass are in these days - not seen either of them for ages (apart from Deano's big fat 'ed on Soccer Saturday). But IIRC, Sharpe was fairly slight and Windass was completely the opposite ?! Size and power are obviously big advantages, but, in my experience, ability and fitness are more important.

 

I've sparred much bigger and stronger guys and more than held my own as I was fitter and more mobile. But struggled against skinny 15 year olds who, despite being weaker and smaller than me, have been fitter and had better skills.
