Never seen George fight, but I've seen big Nelson's... Attempts.
Just given his lineage - and growing up with 17 brothers - I tip Burgess to put him to sleep within 2 rounds.
NAS has no place in the ring, and if George can't beat him then I vote this time we Aussies send a pom back to Blighty for hard labour....

He has improved heaps, and hits bloody hard.
I think his technique still needs to develop a fair bit - his defence in particular. He's still quite a slugger.
Fun to watch though.

Yeah dunno what big George brings but Big nasty will stand toe to toe with a man similar in height an weight and should feel the power of every punch.,I don't think he wins based on this last performance....,but these fights can be set up a

Yeh definitely. NAS has looked terrible so far, but if he could actually box he'd be a golden goose for No Limit.

Absolutely, but I reckon the only way he's a golden goose is, if all his fights are "set up" ... he's not a boxer he's a big unit that is swinging and that's it..no style not movement no setting up off the jab ,just a big unit... Body punches are way more killer than head shots id be loading up on that large body ..
Hits a lot harder than Tim and has a nasty streak in him.

I wouldn't you know how corrupt boxing is, NAS is more marketable

true, I just wasn't impressed with NAS last fight, I dont thing burgess would need to be any world beater to beat him
Parro will be hard to beat, expecting a bit of a home town decision with the fight so thought $1.50 looked good

This whole build up has been like a cartoon. I hope it’s over quickly, whichever way it goes, only person doing well is big Georgie Rose !

100% Nelson is terrible, his first 2 "fights", he should have won both in the first round... if he could fight,he struggled , and got clipped many times then starting flipping his height on the smaller fella ,he won't be able to do that with George. I hope Burgess puts him clean on his ass.👊

That's my only concern, Burgess isn't starting a full time boxing career, Nelson is .. it will go the distance Burgess with most likely land the better shots ,but Nelson will get the split decision...
Has to be a KO for Burgess to win

NAS is the epitome of someone initially seeming marketable, but lacking anywhere near the skill he should've already had by his first fight. And his second was even worse.
Not only that, but he presents as really unlikeable; arrogance as though he has ever done anything in boxing; it's contrived and artificial.
I can't see how No Limit think NAS is their next Gallen: he was actually good, and would've destroyed him. Still would.
I'm really hoping that they have seen he is going nowhere, regret taking him on, and are putting him in against Burgess so he loses badly and gives this whole stupid idea up.
