Sam Rapira - former top NZ light heavy Amateur

Post by Craig14 »

Made his professional debut last month, was a little fortunate to get the win. found this on the net. Do you think he has a future in the pro game? Plenty of amateur experience.

Looks a likely type. Good first round but lucky the ref didn't stop it in the second.
Maybe he was short of a gallop.
There are a dozen or more active light heavies in OZ. Shouldn't be too hard to match him.

Yeah I think he was a little lucky not to be stopped. He's fighting again in 3 weeks on the undercard of Parker/Botha fight against someone called Viliami Taofi
