Sonny is a footballing genius no doubt.
Just on the boxing thing , don't believe the hype. Things are not what they seem.
He holds a New Zealand title but he won't be defending it any time soon ( his camp will tell you three years ) New Zealand boxing fans will tell you he will never have a go at serious boxing while young up and coming star Joseph Parker is calling Sonny out for a match up.
I'm not hating on Sonny here , it's remarkable he can box on any level with all the things he does. But take a look at his last fight against aging fighter Botha.
The fight was scheduled as a twelve rounder.
Botha got Sonny in trouble in the ninth.
Inexplicably and to the ire of people who had paid $39.95 for pay perview.......the fight was reduced to a ten round fight ( in the eight round LOL ).
Attending Warriors ( NZ type don't shoot neutral here ) against the Roosters , the crowd chanted " You owe me thirty nine ninety five Sonny "
To add the the farce , it transpired that the Belt Williams was awarded for the Fight , didn't previously exist ( one was made for Sonny ) the Queensland boxing association hosting the fight had never heard of the Queensland title he fought for
Would Williams be a good signing for Wire ?
