    Boxing promoter George Rose believes Nelson Asofa-Solomona can be his true aggressive self now he's ditched rugby league for prizefighting

    Boxing promoter George Rose believes Nelson Asofa-Solomona can be his true aggressive self now he's ditched rugby league for prizefighting

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    The 16-test Kiwis international has missed the last two NRL grand finals due to suspension ... but Rose says the two-metre giant can stop trying to tackle little playmakers and beat up on blokes his own size.



    Asofa-Solomona himself is looking forward to busting a few heads.
