NRL Main Event if you like the tongue and Terminator Jason T Malo up against big sexy Oregan Campbell Gillard Gillard in the white too in the black two of the nicest folks you will meet didn't have a bad word to say all week two guys that can throw him too is really load up on these shots here some good shots early on he's done a lot of sparring no he Gear with with Junior Paula if he can wear a couple right hands from junor bolo y he wear hand from anyone both guys Center the ring both look a million dollars too just over the top Campbell gab and a good right hand a little bit low there JT can come back with a big overhand right it's very unnatural for both those guys they they're not mundels they they're nice guys they're not used Tooney until they get on that boxing ring You' be surprised you know some of these guys dig deep and you know they they bring the mongr out and them you have to it's a boxing it's a fight here Campell Gillard with the better proceeding thus far a minute 15 into round number one it's just three 2minute rounds stumble there from the ones wanting the kick I just put it up I just pinned it up PR the world on him does Jace the hometown boy heels looking to make it two and0 for the night see Jason with VI written on the front of his trunks that is his given name big shot from from Jason tala the teachers at school couldn't pronounce VI so they just called him Jason to make it easier and he's run with it really good really even opening round both Corners will be happy with what their charge has done in the opening two minutes well will be happy to get the first round out of the way they've shaken most of those nerves off and they can look forward to the uh coming into the middle of the f [Music] that up that hand up all right Bre Bre keep breathing all right yeah no his hands down right that left Hook's there okay close it in whove the got to keep your hands up got to get in close yeah all right more Jabs more Jabs right to the body left hook all right right to the body left hook body left hook all right that's open that's stop moving all right hit him there come back the left hook do your thinket move around step Mo it around come back with the hook all right keep keep moving back up all right d I'll ask you is that too many different instructions for one guy or is that all right yeah I'll be honest I don't think he's going to take any of that on it's just a bit too much to scrambling just need to give him a couple two instructions two instructions Max between the round especially for these inexperienced guys you know last they're probably not even listening they they're more worried about catching their breath and you know Campbell Gillard what he has done is used his height and his reach Advantage very well in the opening round and a bit taval looking to the body trying to slow the freight train successful with that straight right down to the body a couple of times now faint up top drop that right hand down and then come over that left hook now he needs to follow that up that's landed successfully so if he can land another punch on the end and move on to a second phase attack it's going to have a lot more success good right hand from Campbell Gillard tamola looks to [Applause] respond rcg in the middle of the Ring again using his his jab trying to stay at distance he does throws the right hand then T Malo goes back into the corner and that's where we start again he's so in good condition here Campbell Gillard he's Nonstop Action here and he's loading up a lot of these shots too and doesn't seem like he's anytime soon good shot right hand from Campbell Gillard too with the response I think Jason may have looked for a tackle there in the middle of [Applause] that Campbell Gillard now with a little bit of momentum and a whole lot more confidence I would [Applause] imagine oh good right hand from Campbell again over the top from T Malo you punch I punch never throw hands with a bloke that throws out a [Applause] turn over the top using the forarm there to help push away another good round of heavyweight NRL boxing it is rean Campbell Gillard it is Jason talolo the eels look 2 and0 Junior poolo in the corner who have you got so far big Dempsey M I think C Gillard I think he's starting to steal these rounds a bit his Fitness you know especially in these these fights it's only six minute fight you know P that yeah JT is looking for the tackle yeah I wouldn't be fooled by rcgs um body figure he's actually quite fit he's got a lot of stamina Jason's big so he he'll probably Tire a bit quicker yeah really really well said again like we have said about the other NRL guys I think they have all handled themselves amazingly well tonight for Team guys in an individual sport I was I was thinking the same thing as well they've definitely lived up to the expectations you know uh people probably weren't expecting great fights and action-packed fights but honestly they've all they've all been great fights these guys jce just getting the mouth guard put in to protect the goal te here we go the final round of the fight just three 2minute rounds and has Campbell Gillard done enough in the opening two rounds and he doesn't need to do this because Here Comes talo Campbell Gillard Strikes Back we have got a war in the third and final [Applause] round taval over the top just over the top of that left shoulder of Regan Campbell Gillard the tall up rean Campbell Gill nice jab from the parameter real front [Applause] rower rean Campbell Gillard 197 games Jason Tom 246 under the spotlight of team sport now here they are as individuals the toughest Pursuit there is professional boxing a very different conditioning especially for the big LS in the middle like these two are Campbell Gillard not as fluent as he would have liked with those shots and C malola responds Jason talolo looking to steal the round and perhaps steal the fight countdown is on 30 seconds remain 30 seconds remain talo over the top he is hit Campell in the last 90 seconds and he has all fight and he is giving the judges something to think about any second this fight can finish you just waitting for another big punch of land someone to go down almost there on both sides rcg came out throwing RPGs and Jason T Malo has responded in the third round great stink two big boys two great fillers re Campell and Jason yeah is JT is JT not touring with uh Tonga is he not going with Tong he was the one that started the um Tong of movement I thought he'd be in there damn he started that [ __ ] he should be there there's no broken hands there's hope there's no broken bones anywhere on our NRL athletes tonight I think that'll be the uh the first question that the respected coaches asked him as well straight after get back to the dressing room any injuries pre-season starting soon T I know who would be watching tonight is the parameter reals coach Brad ARA and got a tip for you coach don't upset either of your front rowers you got that right yeah look at the smile on Junior's face you reckon he knows something good has happened here yeah the par has gone two tonight well earned as well both great [Music] fights they're looking at Young brend in hands as the future of the hooking role of parata safest hooker in the game dempy these two front rowers either side of you couple heavy heavy artillery on either side and I was very glad extremely glad we got the the nickname Big Sexy in for rean Campbell Gill up that's the stre and there's a bit of debate over if or given by two of his uh more annoying teammates did he get banned I don't think anyone's going to ask questions if he lives up to the name or note after a good performance like that just nod your head and smile the longer it takes when no he didn't get B everyone say bye Ethan in the ring don't close the door on the up [ __ ] see you later and we continue to wait junior barow is smiling big Reggie

scores the contest 29 28 Campbell Gillard judge Paul Williams scores the contest 2928 Town wo judge Chris Condon scores the contest 2928 we have a winner it is a split points decision it goes in favor of blue Conor oh I can see it [Applause] happening yeah rcg got that one conratulations to congratulations to Jason and J Jason's just too nice in the ring he he needs to bring his mongle from the field fight between two guys yeah but that that was a fair decision if you ask me like this oh is ran going to retire NRL and head over to boxing for years and years and years but these two guys yes they've done boxing training as a part of of their football training but nothing even remotely a sh ton so well done sh sha sh well everyone you know what to say to sh I remember my first handful of fights I had tunnel vision my first fight I couldn't hear my corner I couldn't hear anything everything around me was just numb and silent so and that was back at when I was doing about 8 months worth of training before I had my first fight it's head back to Rene thanks Andy thanks JY well it definitely was the Battle of two big Giants boys what did you make I think the first fight it was a tough one but it was a great one to what it was a great competitive fight you know they both stuck it out there but I think Gill just you know EDG with those long Jabs and those the boxing IQ and and just sto it towards the end but like I said it was a very good fight competitive fight yeah it was very good wasn't it and very difficult to split and that was reflected by the judges with a with that Split Decision there I probably did favor Campbell Gillard ever so slightly though yeah I think I was very much the same and I mean tough in front of a home crowd of JT as well too the concoction of the home fans they would have been around it but it was amazing to see as we said we see the development of these players first time they've ever fought Regan's obviously had a bit of a different sporting background but he come out on top as well too today and it's great to see that development yeah 100 say I'd love to know the mentality that go you know the difference between boxing and obviously on the field so definitely a question I'll be asking to see how mentally he prepared for for this fight well we're definitely going to be finding out that very soon he's making his way up he's not jumping up here like Nelson though weird I was expecting a little bit more how dare you stain Jonathan thon's name like that by copying his name the microphone they it's a b Campell Gillard the boxing champion old say Champion how did you find that um pretty daunting to be honest um again you can you can prepare all you need and and all you want and so we go into that [ __ ] into that ring y it's might get cliffed and you sort of got to regroup and try to go back to your training and and remember just sort of listen to your corner and um again I had the perfect I had the perfect uh training partner in junior um part of the whole whole reason of why I was doing this fight I needed a sort of a training partner to that he knows what he's doing and um yeah I felt some of the punches I I probably collected there tonight was the punches I was probably working on U for the last six weeks but [ __ ] J Jay's head mate like I hit him with everything and um his eyes was starting to go a little bit but like every time I was punching in the head he just found a way to sort of counter back and um yeah I probably got a little bit Fancy with
