And ok point taken regarding Vea and Hamdan. Then again 99% of the All Blacks were born in New Zealand so perhaps we should hear the end of the "All Samoans" joke. Especially given in the current squad we have more NZ europeans playing than Polynesians!
Anyways whos in Gold Coast and wants to watch Paman VS Cotto tomorrow??? There must be at least one person?
Gotta admire Chauncy for his run. 40 days, 5 fights, 5 wins, 26 rounds, 2 KO's, avenged a draw with a near shut out 12. That's how you show people you are serious. Too bad the American Clubfight scene was not hopping with guys doing the same.

You too? I thought I must have stuffed up my password.
Have seen Wellivers last 3 fights,about time he stood up and fought someone of calibre.The quality of fighters in New Zealand at present are pretty poor.The crowds are down the publicity to promote an event has been next to nothing.
cjscott you make some good points. Boxing in NZ often isnt promoted well enough, unless you have Cameron or Tua fighting of course! It just doesnt capture the mainstream, and thats through a lack of quality and regular boxing on TV people dont no the boxers and therefore dont show up to support them!
In anycase I have a fairly decent card comming up in March
Chauncy Welliver (USA/NZ) VS TBA (possible Title Fight)
Jameson Bostic (USA) VS TBA
Matt Sweeny (USA) VS TBA
Clarence Tillman (USA) VS TBA
Gary "The Baboon" Gurr VS Sam Barton
Bit of a US VS NZ night obviously TBA is in action alot but the slots should be filled be the new year the rest of the show will see North Shore VS South Auckland Semi-Pro fights so should be a good night!
Have seen the fight card for the 18th March a week before the Tua v Friday fight.Hope you promote this night well as last pro/ams i have been to at the ABA the crowds have been next to nothing.I no it anit an easy job but to get the crowd back and to watch our up and comming fighters you need to get bums on seats.

One of my boys has been on the under card to Wellivers last 3 fights at the ABA.
Only have Amateur boxers at present unless your going to make it a pro/am and we would be there for sure.Do you have any pros around light middle with say less than 5 pro fights ready to go.
cjscott, im looking at having 4 amateur fights on the night so your most welcome to bring your boys. I need a girl 62kgs, then a guy 72guys all having had no more than 10 fights. Will let you no others soon. Do you have any corporate type guys?

I have 2 boys ready to go and both around 72kg to 74kg.1 boy has had 8fights and the other is ready for his first fight when ever the first fights of the season start.
Having been to the ABA several times this year i wonder if you would be able to tell me how the points system works for amateur boxers at the ABA.Not sure how the system works but i didnt think they had majority results any more..Do you belong to the ABA..
Perfect, if you give me both there names i can submitt them to be matched. Your boy whos making his debut can fight a boy of ours shows had 3 corp fights but no amateur fights. Do you have any corporate guys?
In regards to the scoring system i dont belong to the ABA so cannot comment on how it works. Majority decisons seem strange to me ??

In regards to your boy that has had corprate fights,i am made to believe that if had corp fights that they wernt allowed to fight amateur and had to turn pro...
Well he has turned amatuer no problems so i wouldnt believe everything you here. The corporates are for guys who are to old to be amatuer or not experienced enough to turn pro. Guys who just wanna have a few fights to say they have done it and if they are ypoung enough and wanna get serious then they turn amateur or pro

Fair enough,will let you no by 2nd week of Jan when we start back training about 10th of march but couldnt see that being a problem.Where abouts in Auckland are you based.
And no problems, i'll try get as many of your boys on as possible and if you have any guys who have just started training and want to do a corporate bout please let me know, I have about 6 boyy who havent fought before needing corporate opponents. Will accomodate you as best we can
