George Burgess

I hit him.

His head hit the ground, and he was pretty hectic.

But luckily, he was fine.

And we got a picture after the game, and it was all fun and games.

He got a bit high on you, mate.

You know what I mean?

Well, he poked the bear, and you don't do that.

Yeah.

Mate, I've got this young sparring partner.

He's a beast.

He's like, I don't want to give too much away, but yeah, he's better than Nelson.

so you get it you you're getting in obviously people that look like or like similar body size than else yeah you need someone who's got power because you you're gonna i don't i'm not gonna hit my sparring partners with everything i got in training if they're not big enough yeah so this guy that i've got he can take some hits take some licks and he gives me a few back as well which is good so i'm getting used to uh some heavy hands coming at me

and working on my defense and copping some on the nose, copping some on the chin, and feeling the rush of it.

Yeah, who's coaching you?

So his name's Israel Carney.

I got really lucky with this dude.

Back in the days, he was on the contender.

like with Mundine and Garth Woods.

He fought Garth Wood on the contender and he was a former middleweight Australian champion.

So he's been coaching boxers for 20 years, but he's like, I was lucky I wasn't in Sydney because I would have had a massive choice of people to choose from to coach.
