Why cant Joe get good fights ? Does nobody want to fight him or what ?
Lots going on in NZ pro scene this weekend:
Friday 4 March 2016
Walter Nash Stadium, Lower Hutt, New Zealand
Joe Blackbourn W Fabian Purcell RTD 3/6
Blake Bell W Matthew Tuakolo UD 4
Saturday 5 March 2016
Addington Raceway, Christchurch, New Zealand
Bowyn Morgan v Daniel Roy Maxwell (vacant NZNBF welterweight title)
Reece Papuni v Joshua Tai
Nort Beauchamp v Leon Tangaroa
JaeJae Smith v Vehekite Moataane
Joshua Hatherley v Sivan Hermez
Ratu Sailosi Dawai v Navosa Ioata
War Memorial Civic Centre, Thames, New Zealand
Cairo George v Daniel Ford (IBO Asia Pacific welterweight title)
Leki Maka v Nick Hikuroa
Pettigrew-Green Arena, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
Toa Leutele v Clarence Tillman
Jason Rarere v Shaun Rankin
Tipene Maniapoto v Ryan Heketa
As usual most of the bouts are foregone conclusions but there are some points of interest (for me at least):
- Good to see Bowyn Morgan will pick up a NZ title on the path to what should be a move to the international scene, was supposed to be on JP's ChCh card in April and will likely have a decent fight on the undercard of Parker v Takam if it's in NZ, still on Duco's radar
- Easy wins for Blackbourn, Papuni, Beauchamp, Cairo and Leki but good to see them active at least
- JaeJae Smith is one of the Palmerston North Buttabean opponents, he lost then but good to see he is back in the ring and looking to go pro after stepping up his boxing work with the ChCh boys
- Navosa 'Smily' gets to right the loss he suffered last week immediately
- In Hawke's Bay, Tipene is FINALLY having his second fight and quite interested in Toa Leutele's debut against Tillman
Like you say TM, lots of bouts in NZ tonight but nothing to get really excited about.
Cairo George KO's Daniel Ford. Another win against another Bum. Would like to see him fight Bowyn Morgan!

And it sounds like hes broken his hand (again). His career really isnt going anywhere quickly.
Reece Papuni (12 1 0) W MD Joshua Tai (3 9 0)
Nort Beauchamp (8 1 0) W SD Leon Tangaroa (0 3)
A couple of worrying results there.

Definitely. Not good signs I would have thought.
