Reece Papuni did much better than expected after 3 years out. Started limping badly at end of the second round but apparently, it happened in his warm-up.
Was a calf injury. Not sure how bad. Posted to Facebook saying his next fight would be in Christchurch

Pretty average on paper, saw the Josh Francis fight which was a bit of a slugfest. Boyd has a decent chin but Francis eventually got the better of him. Only saw the first 3 rounds of the main event but Leutele won all of them but I heard Long knocked him to the canvas with an uppercut??? They might need to have a rematch down the line.

Yep, I figure Mikhailovich must just love being in the ring. He's very active.

Just saw the Long/Leutele fight. Good draw result, as it was the right decision. In his day, Long was a decent world journeyman, and fought everybody. Today, he's a NZ gatekeeper. Looks like Leutele is not going anywhere outside of NZ/OZ. Here's Long's record. Impressive opponents:
