Gallen.

Sam doesn’t have the boxing experience.

[graveyard johnny]

knowing sam he will be in training now - he will not want to lose - at this or anything - cmon england 

[Damien]

Sam's shoulder didn't seem that good on the celebrity SAS show.

[moorside roughyed]

Obviously I'd want Sam to win. But I'd go for Gallen as he has boxing experience.

This is off topic surely?

[EastLondonMike]

Is this really going to happen?!.. seems Gallen has gone from wanting to be a genuine boxer to just fighting current or former RL players. 
 

In all honesty, Sam couldn’t really throw a punch when he played, I can’t imagine he’s improved that much since retiring.

[fighting irish]

won't Sam have reach advantage?

 

[DavidM]

I’d like to have seen it on the paddock in their prime

Gallen had it painfully illustrated to him that Boxing has a skill set that can’t just be picked up in your late 30s over a short period of time. 
 

you wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of. Sam Burgess punch though

I’d say not, but either way don’t worry about it!

[Tonka]

I’m gonna say Burgess even with Gallen’s experience

but wont have the skills to stop Gallen getting in close

[graveyard johnny]

Sam should be the only one out the 2 to be going in to the bout "unbeaten"

Gallon fought a genuine boxer last time out & was embarrassed,he’s obviously thought the better of it & has gone back to fighting non boxers who share his lack of boxing ability.

The sports authority over there really should put a stop to it before someone gets seriously hurt.

[Dunbar]

Burgess and Gallen should stop all this macho SAS and boxing nonsense, get themselves signed up to Strictly, start on an even footing, and may the best man win.

[DACS]

The C List Celebrity Boxing here in Oz is a bit embarrassing, but its because the sport is very small. Has-beens like Mundine can keep going way after they should have retired, and people like Gallen fool themselves into thinking they can box because they beat some other long-retired football player in a 3-round exhibition match. If they keep amongst themselves I wish them the best of luck though - its clearly all about earning a few quid, and enough idiots are willing to pay to watch them fight in slow motion.

The Real Housewives of Cheshire had a boxing "match" between two of the "ladies". Maybe they could sort "The Real Housewives of Sydney" to be on the undercard to give the bout added credibility.
