The fight was an impressive battle from the two respective legends with the three judges scoring the fight 58-56, 58-56, 59-55, although the scores have received flurries of criticism over social media the fight was worth the watch as the two cultural icons went head to head.
The culturally significant night had Hunt, of Samoan descent, show love to Melbourne based Samoan rap group HP BOYZ by using their latest single “LOYALTY” for his entrance song. This marks a significant moment in our scene’s history as it has brought a track with the “Australian Drill” sound to the forefront of national media with the fight being streamed live to both Foxtel and the Kayo Sports App, introducing a whole new set of eyes and ears to one of the best and most notorious Australian Hip-Hop tracks of the year. The track’s music video currently has a whopping 1.5 million views with an average of 1,000+ views an hour, numbers that will likely increase since it’s national TV debut on Wednesday night.
