Cameron VS Smith and undercard

[The Tuaman]

Alex Leapai VS Alipate (Albert) Li'ava

MAN, Li'ava is a sponge soaked up some of the biggest shots Leapai could deliver for 4 rounds. Leapai threw everything and the kitchen sink 10x over and couldnt hurt Li'ava who is a HUGE man at 5'7 and 119kgs. Looked like the 5th was going the same way as the last 4 Leapai landing consistant bombs and Li'ava soaking them up but with 15 seconds to go in the round Leapai unleashed a 5 punch combo with the last punch being a HUGE overhand right which lays Alipate Li'ava out like a Buffalo being shot from a helecopter. How Li'ava took some of the shots he did is beyond me hes a tough mother but thats about it VERY limited skills.

Leapai WKO5

[Kegsy]

Good to hear Leapai dominated.
Never in a boring fight is Leapai.

[The Tuaman]

Round 2: More of the same, Cameron wins the Round again boxing better using his jab more

Sorry brief Round by Round posts but drinking and quickly doing RBR

[The Tuaman]

Round 5: DAMN another great round, Smith was out on his feet towards the end of the round with 30 seconds to go he was only just surviving. Cameron unleased some HUGE body shots and Hooks upstairs. BIG round for Cameron

Cameron 3-1

[The Tuaman]

Round 6: My god another fantastic Heavyweight Round, both guys just dishing it out. Smith came back well after being out on his feet towards the end of the 5th. I'll give Smith the round, he landed some nice shots Very close though

Round 7: Starts off slower, but turns into a barnburner. Smith out on his feet Cameron landing HUGE shots Smith IS DOWN!!! Gets back to his feet fight seemed to be stopped but is the end of the round

[The Tuaman]

Round 8: Smith's legs are gone, Cameron still landing solid shots, pace has slowed. How Smith is still there I'll never know especially after the 7th. WOW Smith Rocks Cameron. Cameron ok and hold onto the end of the round

Cameron is not punching straight, at all, when he has the guy hurt - I still think he's a chance to be KO'ed by Smith at this point. if Smith wobbles Cameron properly, I don't see Cameron lasting,

[PugilisticPower]

Straight punches Cameron - if you want to knock this guy out, the moment he's staggered, through the simple right straight down the line.

[The Tuaman]

Round 9: Both guys have slowed considerably but you cant blame them its been a WAR in there. Probably a even round both guys landing as many as they are taking. GREAT Fight. Smith is a warrior Cameron slightly Cut

Cameron 5-2

[PugilisticPower]

Cameron NEEDS to throw straight.. he'd have this guy out, completely if he knew how to throw a straight right when the guy's in trouble.

[The Tuaman]

Round 10: SMITH IS OUT ON HIS FEET, HOW IS SMITH STILL THERE CAMERON LANDING SLOID SHOTS THROUGHOUT THE ROUND. SMITH IS DOWN SMITH IS DOWN. HES BACK UP AND MAKES IT RHOGUH THE ROUND.................STAGGERING..............HOW IS SMITH STILL HERE???

Cameron 6-2

[ashley]

[The Tuaman]

Round 11: Another great round, both guys tierd, Smith looks like the rubber man, hes got nothing left in the legs but keeps hanging in there. Cameron Cut bad now blood gushing from his eye

Cameron 7-2

Thanks for the link :good

[The Tuaman]

Round 12: Smith going for broke, both guys like tierd, Cameron STILL landing heavy shots, Smith pressing forward like he has done all fight. What a fight what a final round. this has been one of the best heavyweight fights in Australia in YEARS!! Hell of a fight.

Cameron 8-2

[The Tuaman]

Barrl Michael scores it 119-107 lets await the judges scores. Cameron wins it that is sure

[ashley]

Yeah great win for Cameron.....that win should set him up for a high profile fight later this year or early next year.

[The Tuaman]

Judges Score it 116-110............116-110.......119-108 its Shane Cameron by UD12

Fantastic fight, Terry Smith is a warrior how he hung in there I'll never know. Best heavyweight fight in New Zealand for a VERY long time. Both guys gave it EVERYTHING its fights like these that make boxing what it is, both guys can take there hat off tonight and they have both gone a long way to restoring some pride and respect to the sport of boxing the way they fought tonight.

good win for Shane, sets him up nicely. I still think he gets hit to much and a guy who can REALLY bang can take advantage of this. No doubtd about it both Cameron and Smith wil never be in a boring fight

[The Tuaman]

Fale Siaoloa VS Jason Costa

Round 1: Both guys exchanging, Fale looks the beter boxer, Costa looks like a tough scrapper. Even round though

0-0

[The Tuaman]

Round 2: Costa the agressor Siaoloa counter punching, another good fight here both giuys landing some good shots. Maybe give Costa the round through aggression, and landing more shots.

Costa 1-0

[The Tuaman]

Round 3: Costa still the aggressor wins 1st half of the round but Siaoloa comes back during 2nd half of the round, difficult to score I'll give it even. Got scrao here.

Costa 1-0

Alex Leapai VS Alipate (Albert) Li'ava

MAN, Li'ava is a sponge soaked up some of the biggest shots Leapai could deliver for 4 rounds. Leapai threw everything and the kitchen sink 10x over and couldnt hurt Li'ava who is a HUGE man at 5'7 and 119kgs. Looked like the 5th was going the same way as the last 4 Leapai landing consistant bombs and Li'ava soaking them up but with 15 seconds to go in the round Leapai unleashed a 5 punch combo with the last punch being a HUGE overhand right which lays Alipate Li'ava out like a Buffalo being shot from a helecopter. How Li'ava took some of the shots he did is beyond me hes a tough mother but thats about it VERY limited skills.

Leapai WKO5great win for alex on his 1st overseas fight.

[The Tuaman]

Round 4: Another round of Costa being the aggressor this time it Siaoloa lands the better punches, landing good shots and mving Costa pressing forward as usual, but not landing as his was during the last 3. Sialoas round

Even 1-1

[The Tuaman]

Round 5: Another good round of fighting, Costa pressing forward consistantly, but Siaoloa landing the better shots ahrd round to score, both guys making a good fight out of it. Costa definately the man pushing the fight though i'l score it even and let the lats round decide the contest

1-1

[The Tuaman]

Round 5: Another good rounf for fight fans, Siaoloa moving and countering well, costa still pressing forward. Siaoloa landing the better shots thoguh and i'll give him the round and the fight

Sialoa 2-1

We'll await the judges scores

[The Tuaman]

Fale Siaoloa UD6

[The Tuaman]

Kashif Mumtaz VS Sosaia Vaka

Round 1: Ugly 1st round, hard to score. Vaka is a god tough fighter and on paper should beat Mumtaz. A feeling out sort of round. And I'll score it even. Apparently could be Vakas last fight tonight as he wants to spend more time with the fmaily would be a shame to llose a guy like Vaka to the local scene

EVEN

[The Tuaman]

Round 2: Another difficult round to score, Mumtaz landed some good shots but is finding it diffocult to nail Vaka whos proving to be awkward to hit. im going to give it to Mumtaz landed the better shots,.

Mumtaz 1-0

[The Tuaman]

Round 3: Another messy, scrappy round, hard to score. Vaka looks aggressive at times but doesnt seem to posses the power. Ugly sort of fight, I'll score this one even again, both guys hitting on the break.

Mumtaz 1-0

[The Tuaman]

Round 4: Mumtaz comes out swinging, and catches Vaka, Vaka is now sitting there easy to hit and Mumtaz lands again DROPS Vaka!!!! Vaka is up, Mumtaz is straight back onto Vaka, landing again and DROPS Vaka AGAIn Referee calls the fight off!!! Mumtaz wins it!!! Vaka is better than than that, but Mumtaz wins tonight

Rashif Mumtaz TKO4

Anybody see Cameron getting beaten by any Aussie HW's?

[The Tuaman]

I cant see any of the Ausie heavys Shane hasnt fought beating him. He's already stopped Wilson and Mirovic. Haumono isnt in his league, there is talk about Hopoate VS Cameron next.................would be interesting to watch but Cameron SHOULD beat Hoppa easily. I think Leapai has a chance of beating Shane, Leapai can hit and his agressive if his own chin holds up could be a very interesting fight. Nathan Briggs just cant take the kind of shot he'd have to take to hang with Cameron.

Yep that about what I was thinking

[ipswich express]

Hoppa and Cameron isn't happening any time soon.

[The Tuaman]

Good news for Hoppa and his fans.

Hoppa doesnt need Shane, Shane wouldnt mind Hoppa however because its a good money fight as it would create ALOT of interest and its 90% that he KO's him (nothing in boxing is ever 100% certain.)

Hoppa should stick to picking off a few more guys on the Aussie circuit, Nathan Briggs, Pieter Cronje and perhaps Leapai (although i think Leapai beats Hoppa and Cronje would be a tough fight) then perhaps look at doing what Sol is bringing down US guys may as well stick to his market afterall the name Hopoate means jack all outside of Australasia

I think fighting Shane is a bad move for Hoppa as we all do.

I think Hoppa should fight Briggs next and that would be a huge fight that should be very close and a great match...Briggs with boxing smarts and Hoppa with power and now able to go 10 rounds....very interesting.

[leati]

i think briggs wants hoppa didn't he mention it in commentary?

[Kegsy]

i think briggs wants hoppa didn't he mention it in commentary?Yeah Briggs definitely wants a piece of Hoppa.

[ipswich express]

I think you'll find both lads are going their separate ways for the time being. But we'll see what happens.
