Langton vs Betham rematch in Opunake, June 30th:

Looking forward to the rematch?

The Colton's Coastal Rumble is going to be a fantastic night. Not only will James 'Batman' Langton and Monty Betham Jnr be fighting it out for the NZNBF and IBO Asia Pacific Cruiserweight Titles but top Taranaki boxer Sam Rapira will be fighting on the undercard and popular Opunake boxer Simon Julian will be making his pro debut in front of his home crowd! All this and we haven't even started to announce our very exciting card of corporate fighters.

Hospitality tables are now on sale... and selling quickly! If you want to secure your table message Kelly Langton or contact me on 027 416 1586.

Sandfords Events Centre has limited capacity and every Coastal Rumble event has sold out well in advance. Get in soon if you want to avoid disappointment.
Craig Thomson Promotions has announced that Adrian Taihia and Robbie Berridge will finally get it on in October this year, with both fighting on CTP show in august. Great news.
Too quick for me craigyid14!
Great fight! But man it sux these are not on televised cards so more people can see the best domestic fights.
This fight was meant to headline a ppv not that long ago, I guess both fighters stocks have dropped fro various reasons since then.
Would love if Craig Thomson Promotions could get a reasonably priced stream for this. I'd pay $20 if it was reliable and there was a commentary with half decent camera work. Am I a mug or would others pay that too?

CTP Boxing is proud to announce October 26th at Westlake Boys High School Auditorium, 3 years (or more) in the making they are FINALLY going to get it on because they don't get along...........

Adrian 'TERRAH' Taihia VS Robert 'THE BUTCHER' Berridge - NZPBA Light-Heavyweight Title Fight!!!!

August 13th both Taihia and Berridge will fight in seperate bouts at the Westlake Boys High School Auditorium in the build up to October 26th. More details to follow on this later........
I'm sure he will have a stream up, a couple of years ago his promotions were streamed and free.
Awesome, I paid $10 for the George stream against Nort Beauchamp and it was well worth it. Can't even get a jug for that nowdays

Anyone keen for Maka v Morgan or do we let them build for a bit longer yet.

Throw Ricky Murphy and Anthony Taylor in that mix too
I'd love to see Nik the Greek fight Papuni on the Parker Christchurch undercard (of coarse Papuni is from Christchurch). Nik will fight Kwadjo on 1st July on the big bash 5 card, but if its only over 6 rounds again its perfectly feasible to fight Papuni at the end of July.

I've got Berridge as top NZ light heavy followed by Papuni then Nik the Greek and Taihia at 4 because of his unforced lay off. The kiwi light heavys get me more excited than even Parker. Especially now they seem keen on getting in the mix with each other.
It sounds like Berridge vs Papuni might be on the cards for the Parker/Sol undercard in Christchurch, gonna be a big year domestically for the butcher.

Will be good to see them go for it over a longer distance that the tournament format! I still feel bad for that young guy Sefo who beat Berridge in the ring but lost on the scorecards. Hopefully he gives boxing a decent go.

I thought Berridge and Duco were back at odds after the last undercard kerfuffle 
Is there a way to upload photos on here?

There was a little story in the Metro newspaper in London about Jordan Tai jumping out of the ring!
