If you ever wanted an idea of what the shows are like in New Zealand, this would be the co-main event on a non televised card in Hamilton (not Auckland)
It's actually making me keen to get along to the next one here in February :oops:

Wow, Campbell’s mouth was hanging open from the third but I still didn’t expect him to wilt like that.

Well done Robinson, it was looking like a rough night for him.

And that wasn't a rough night for Robinson??
He was hanging in there for the previous two rounds by the stubble on his chin!

Well, I’m sure if you ask Robinson how he feels right now he’ll say pretty damn good thanks.

But prior to that first knockdown it was looking like he was going to soak up another 50-100 blows and get stopped.

That reminded me of the late 70's/early 80's Mike Barrett shows at the Albert Hall or Wembley when they'd put in a couple of heavies like Stan McDermott, Neville Meade, Gordon Ferris etc and last one left standing won.
Can't beat a couple of big guys swinging away like that for entertainment

Robinson trained his bollocks off for that. He was devastated how he looked last time on Sky.

Gibbs needs to take him out or he's going to lose this on points deductions, mental.

Yeah, the gumshield caused him more danger than the opponent !

Great performance there 7-1 (-3) and he only lost the round when distracted by the GS.

76-73 the wrong fvcking way round ?! :maybe:

That's ridiculous :lol: it was only 3 off in the end wasn't it? I thought if it kept happening in the final rounds it might cost Gibbs but he won that surely.
