This should be good, always interesting to see good ameteurs turn pro,
especially young ones(how old is he anyway?)..
AntonS, do u have any idea who trained Leti in Samoa??
i might know the bloke, cheers,
i just come back from Samoa(couple of months ago), seen a couple of fights over there, good raw talent there, my Missus is half Samoan and her uncle there trains alot of Amateurs, including Vaitele Soi who is now a Pro......

Don't know who trained him in Samoa, Titahi Bay boxing guru Chris Kenny trained him in NZ & is now gutted 'cos he had plans for him in this year's Commonwealth games
Don't know who trains Soi, but I'm sure a couple of forum members will will let you know.

If I remember correctly, Waru was out cold for 5+ minutes in his last fight. If Leti is as good as they say, Waru might be in for a longer nap :lol:

He was supposed to make his debut at the MGM grand but instead at the ABA... :D In any event he has 4 managers or something like that.... :lol:

Great talent....should have boxed at Commonwealth games and then on to an Olympic games before turning pro. Then again the supposed 4 managers should know better.....

yes... he was supposed to have been signed up by US promotions giant, so guess that never happened instead he makes his debut in Auckland. NZ missed out on a potential Olympic medal...quite possibly....

Not sure what the "bother is". "Injury" apparently....in any event it would have been against the guy he fought before-- a bum. So it being a non event is no great tragedy...

At least they are not throwing Leti in at the deep end. Waru is very experienced but has not won a fight in nearly four years.
