AFL Player To Pro Boxing Debut!!
Спорт
Well, that was an absolute whirlwind of emotions! I had my first professional boxing fight on April 3rd, finally stepped in the ring after retiring from AFL and it didn't dissapoint.
Lots of hardwork, dedication and literally blood, sweat and tears went into this 10 week training camp to make sure i was wholeheartly ready for the night.
This was all new to me but thankfully after 14 years at the top level of AFL set me up to compete in the ring!
Big big shout-out to Chris Rose Boxing for getting me prepared for the fight and training me everyday, honestly mean't a lot!
Big thank you to Joe Fortune who made this all possible, allowing me to solely focus on training! #joefortune
Everlast coming through with the training gear throughout the camp, LSKD for hooking me up with apparel which meant a lot.
I'll be definitely be getting back in the ring after a couple weeks off to put my feet up and relax a little!
Hope you enjoyed the vlog!

I wouldn't mind seeing you sort out Dan Andrews. He stiffed us up here in Ballarat and could do with a lesson. In all seriousness, find a similar skilled and similar level fighter. Nothing good comes out of miss matching.

@@RobboVlogs Some advice on how to avoid starting to feel tired around your fight time if you’re fighting late is get your body clock acclimated to that time, so at a certain point in your training get a session in at the time you will be fighting. For example my last fight I was fighting overseas and I was going to be making the walk at around 1.30am our time so a few weeks out one of my sessions started at 1am.
ROBBO!!! Mate you've got quick hands. Moved like you've been at it for much longer. Really good sharp combos and a solid cannon when opportunity opens up. It did a few times and you went in. That was really good to watch. Congrats and respect from an old flat noser

Onya Robbo! calm & cool great stuff, liked it when you used to fire up with the Bluebaggers
Looked great out there mate. Definitely a future in this for you fighting NRL guys and other pro fighters around the same level. Your conditioning was outstanding and was something a few of the ex AFL guys should have aspired to.

Honestly Robbo. Im a lions fan and seeing this as a boxing fan. Im impressed. I think you could do really well in the ring and I think 4 rounds 2 Mins long isn't long enough for you. I think you could do 6 Rounds at 3 Mins. Good luck for the future ❤

Decent effort and was definitely a class above your opponent but now it’s time to travel from gym to gym and spar with some other opponents, younger and older. Lots of talent in gyms that can put you through your paces. Nothing beats experience. Look forward to seeing where you go with this 👍
