Sonny Bill Williams' highly anticipated boxing match against Paul Gallen ended in disappointment for the former rugby star, as two critical errors led to a controversial defeat.
The bout, which had fans on the edge of their seats, took an unexpected turn when Williams made what many are calling "amateur mistakes" that ultimately cost him the fight.
The First Mistake: A Costly Slip
Early in the match, Williams lost his footing at a crucial moment, giving Gallen the perfect opportunity to strike. This slip allowed Gallen to gain the upper hand, landing several powerful blows that set the tone for the rest of the fight.
The Second Blunder: A Missed Opportunity
Later in the match, Williams failed to capitalise on a clear opening, hesitating just long enough for Gallen to recover. This hesitation proved fatal, as Gallen quickly regained control and dominated the remaining rounds.
Controversy Surrounds the Decision
While Gallen was declared the winner, many fans and pundits have questioned whether Williams' mistakes were the sole reason for his defeat. Some argue that the judges' scoring didn't fully reflect Williams' moments of brilliance in the ring.
Regardless of the controversy, one thing is clear: Williams' two errors were decisive in shaping the outcome of this thrilling encounter.
