Sham, you haven't paid your dues the last two years. Send me a check, and I'll even sign it for you! Pink, right?
Moses Auimatagai was punch perfect stopping Ivana Siau last night in 4 rounds, he dropped him in the first, outboxed him in the 2nd and 3rd, dropped him again in the 4th and then finished him off perfectly. Siau was game but outclassed, I hope Auimatagai gets a bit of coverage now he'd be great for the bill on the 21st, a real classy operator. Tino Honey beat Alapati Afoa on points over four, I was a little disappointed with Honey, although kickboxer Afoa was tough and awkward. Honey probably shaded the first three, maybe 2-1 but looked a class above in the fourth. Craig Thomson didn't fight, his opponent failed a pre fight medical. Apparently he turned up pretty ill, I'll get the guts of it later. It was a good show, a few too many corporate fights for my liking (12) and not enough pro, but it was sold out which can only be good for NZ. One of Joseph Parkers wbc regional belts got sold for charity was quite surprised it only sold for $1500. Had a chat with Nik the Greek there, he was saying he didn't know anything about fighting Adrian Taihia (I'd heard this bout wasn't happening before hand). He's fighting Ghanian born Fijian Joseph Kwadjo on the July 1st bill. Quite interestingly he said he'd fight Robbie Berridge on the Parker undercard but would have to fight at a few kilos over the light heavy limit as he didn't think he could drop all the weight in time. The butcher declined, fair enough if Berridge wants it at the light heavy limit. It'll be interesting to see who he gets.
And die get the shirts printed up, it'd be worth 30 bucks of anyone's money and I'd wear it with pride mate.

That's great Craig...30 bucks should do it! It means die will get at least 60 bucks with yours and mine unless he pays for his own. We'll all be noticed in pink and die with a ribbon in his hair.
Not sure about the shirts being pink, but could happily see die with a ribbon in his hair.
Looks like Asher Derbyshire won a UD according to Boxrec.
There are some really good fights around at cruiser now, just hope they all stay active and the fights happen

Thanks for this craigyid14,
Keen to see Moses Auimatagai in action more. Anyone know if he didn't handle the occasion against Tai or was Tai just a level above? he didn't fire a shot that night but outclassing Ivana Siau who is handy and has a chin is a solid win.
Still fell Siau has a few more wins to come yet if he sticks to it.
No worries mate, I enjoy chatting with you and tm about the domestic scene. I reckon Siau/Murphy would be a decent scrap, I think Moses stops Murphy handily though.
Cheers for the update Craigyid! Shame Craig's fight didn't happen. Really interesting about Nik and Berridge, harsh for the Butcher to go off on FB if that was the case
