Sprott down twice and stopped in the 1st round of the final.
Sounds like an awful standard. Rahman was beaten in the Quarters by a guy who lost to a 0-10 opponent in his prior fight.
Sprott won a decision against Rogan in the Quarters.
Kali Meehan wins NZ Prizefighter tournament, KO's Sprott
Re: Kali Meehan wins NZ Prizefighter tournament, KO's Sprott
I went to this, the standard was poor. Sprott was by far the best boxer on the night but got caught early by Meehan My mate had just offered me 10-1 on Meehan and I laughed saying he had no chance (he got a gift of a home town decision in his quarter final v.s Aussie champ Hunter Sam) Sprott got £50,000 and a nice holiday down under out of it though. On the plus side the local undercard fights were cracking.

Watched it and very surprised they manage to pay the winner circa 100k sterling and runner up 50k it didn't have the feel of a big event.

Holy hell, I thought Kali Meehan was retired years ago... I aint heard shit about him since he lost on kayo to Hasim Rahman all them years ago...
Re: Kali Meehan wins NZ Prizefighter tournament, KO's Sprott
The Rahman fight was 10 years ago. Kali retired in 2012 & made a comeback for this tournament. The years seem to have treated him better than they have Hasim.HomicideHenry wrote:Holy hell, I thought Kali Meehan was retired years ago...

1st KD looked to be back of the head.

The last punch was definitely behind the head, though Sprott looked gone from the punches before it.johnswan1 wrote:1st KD looked to be back of the head.
