Judge: Carrick Belton 18-20
Judge: Gary Searle 18-20
Judge: Craig Thomson 18-20

The NZPBAssn presented Robbie Berridge with Association's New Zealand Light Heavyweight Title. His manager tried 6 boxers of standing to match Robbie for the title. All declined for various reasons. Robbie made a token appearance in the ring in a 4 x 3 bout against Moses Ioelu. Moses was the only one who volunteered to get in the ring, but with only 4 x 3’s. Robbie was presented the Belt after the bout.

Four 3x2 corporate fights and two 4x3 pro fights. NZ$35, not exactly value for money.

Time to resuscitate ANBF/NZPBA Australasian title (Aussie vs. Kiwi champ). Yannick vs Berridge would be an excellent start.

Berridge/Yannick is gonna be a cracker.

When will Berridge learn, this country is his future, when i interviewed him after stopping Broadhurst, i asked the question about future, "will you make Australia your platform to launch onto the world scene?" His manager and he both said they will return with a big fight, that ended up being Caperello, but never confirmed the answer.
Have a good look at his record, he has never fought a single fighter with a winning record in " Cozzy Bro " and his only opportunitys have come in Australia, to which all fighters have had winning records, with some world rated.

Why, WHY, WHY, is this talented gritty fighter wasting his time in the land of many sheep?

Berridge can still be a Kiwi and base himself here.

He would not look out of place at Bondi. Shorter plane trip from Sydney to Auckland than Sydney to Perth.

Not sure if basing himself in Aussie is the answer, him and his team probably feel they need a knockout in aussie to win against an aussie opponent. The foley fight was a disgrace and the judging against caperello (even though caperello won the fight in my eyes) was way off the mark. For such a terrible bill he had an impressive fanbase at the ABA the othernight. I reckon the reason all the other kiwi light heavy's turned down the fight was because it was on Berridge's 'our time' promotion. I wouldn't want to fight on a promotion where the opposing fighter is organising all the judges, ref, times etc..
There's plenty of good fights for him overhere, Daniel Mckinnon,Taito Ratuere even Gunnar Jackson not long ago won a title fight in aussie at light heavy. Hounddawg lol at 'when I interviewed him' - loved to of been there, seeing you standing outside the dressing room like a teenage girl at a Justin Beber concert notepad in hand, Mr Berridge it's Hounddawg from the Daily Planet, can I ask you a few questions, Robbie what do you most like about Australia? Is it our biased judges or our Kangeroo's? I told a joke once, doesn't make me a comedian. If Berridge really wants to further his career he's going to have to start fighting in the States or even England. He could carry on selling out the ABA and fighting the likes of Moses Loelu, Peter Tovio and Fale Siaola in Auckland or cross the ditch and being the 'kiwi' in an aussie ring against the local favourite but to really make a name for himself I think he has to think bigger.

Why do you keep coming back for more punishment..... Danial mckinnon, Ratuere and Gunner jackson( i beat a 43 year old man and got beaten by a debut fighter) McKinnon struggled to beat a 1 handed 21 year old kid, mate add something, we're all waiting! And your right how silly of me to say i interviewed someone, when i didn't, is that all you have, mate others have read my stuff, so stop flogging a dead horse, and as someone said on another thread you can call me Daddy child!, don't retort, i really have bigger things i'm trying to achieve at the moment and agree with most, wankers like you need to fornicate off and let those who know and love the sport have there forum back.

And Green,Mundine over here have there promotional companys handle the entire event, if Berridge is attempting to do that, great and his team seem like they're business minded, having a look through his horrible opponents offered up in the land of many sheep, it's a wonder he's made a $ as yet, your probably the only paying customer seeing how he told you to fornicate off when you approached him. Your Knowledge is filled with so much, how to say this nicely..........nah have a great Easter mate, i'm sure life dish's you up enough.

Punishment, manchild? You really do have an arrogance and self importance about yourself, and your literacy skills are atrocious, you continuously use filthy language because of your lack of good english. I actually don't want w@nkers like you to eff off because you and old spice make me giggle with your constant ramblings.

Nice add on - that took you 20 minutes? He didn't tell me to eff off, I said I found him rude, I accept a boxer needs to be like that but a pretend journo? I've actually spoke to him and his trainer vasco after fights, I guess in your book that constitutes an interview.

Im not sure why the hatred for Kiwis. If Berridge makes good money fighting in NZ then why wouldnt he fight there. He is a proffesional boxer and needs to earn money. its not like all the Aussie LtHeavys are lining up to fight him. i can tell you its the exact opposite. His team struggle badly to get him fights.

Also im not sure why your discrediting Gunner Jackson, He is a good honest fighter and a really humble and nice bloke, The 43 year old you are Talking about(Dave Letizia) would punch the crap out of a lot of LTHeavys in this country.

The thing with boxing in this region, Is 90% of the decent guys wont fight each other, Berridge is the exact opposite. His management try to put him into every fight they can.

I think Berridge, and Caparello for that matter must be being looked at by allegedly promoted WBO champion Nathan Cleverly's team, they fit the right criteria unknown quantities with decent records. If Sol Powncenby was being talked about.......

How is it hatred, fornicate i really wonder about this forum, and your a mod, did you not read the rest of my post commending him for having his current promotional team either, after all Yid said he doesn't blame anyone for not fighting on Berridges cards, because of his team picking judges ect. Being a judge yourself you completely missed the scathing attack at our judges being grouped as doddgy! but somehow found my post as hatred....LOL why in this country is stupidity rewarded?

I know Ben people aren't lining up, but thanks for enlighting me, and being based in New Zealand has helped how? Great, Gunners a nice bloke, forgive me for saying he wasn't??? Ability wise where would he rank here at super middle? What division is Robert Berridge again? Why did Gunner take the fight against West Australian Letizia at Lt Heavy, because he's obviously seen better days at 43. Did i say Letizia couldn't fight? No, like the majority of minds out there, 43 normally means hang em up, however Letizia made a few statements against lower to middle opp, does that make me a bad person for stating the obvious??? It was a solid win for Gunner at an opportune time then he lost to a young bloke on debut, not Everyone from WA are world rated Ben! Always supported the scene in WA.

Back to Berridge, as i stated i believe could have a big future here, I hear Caperello's team pay well for his ability, why to most does this always seem so hard to comprehend...don't blame the market or dismiss it, have a look at one's ability!

Happy Easter to all, hope you and the kids have a great day Ben!

Man child, The body of man and the mind of a child. This is why I think you write children's literature, childlike comments and childlike spelling. Any good at art are we? Enjoy the easter egg hunt.

Slightly off topic but seen as his names been mentioned......

Gunnar Jackson Vs Adrian Taihia 2 "Unfinished Business" next Friday night here in Auckland, NZ. There will be a link up shortly where you can watch the fights online. the first fight was a cracker and the boys contest the NZPBA and WBFed Oceania Super-Middleweight Titles. Yes they actually are fighting for there NZPBA title

Also on the undercard are Andy Robinson hard punching light heavy who wants a crack at Berridge even though hes 1-0 hes keen to get in with him ASAP hes fighting Kashif Mumtaz over 4x3min

And James Emmerson from Glasgow, Scotland makes his pro debut against Monty Filimaea in another 4x3min contest.

Both Gunnar and Adrian could easily fight at Middleweight. So depending on the outcome of April 5th we'll look at options for both guys at Middle/Super-Middle. I know there limitations but as Sweet P pointed out Jackson is a great bloke, honest and humble, hardworking and will fight anyone we just trying to give him a decent crack! Taihia is the same!

Hoping stream is better than Aussie recent efforts.

I don't think a man who has continuosly been told by myself that a capital letter to start a sentence is all you will ever need to know about a mans education. Mate do i really make you that uncomfortable in your own skin? Does my existance here make your day? You do realize you're picking on an old ex boxer in Brute( Yeah your a real man aren't you? love to catch up on that note) and following me around like a lost puppy, i have very little tolerance for nasty little pieces of work like you, and i can't stand intolerance to one's own stupidity.... I have children to attend to, it's easter after all, so i bid you a great day, and life and if you would like any further contact, you have my number to which i gave you last year.....you still haven't called! I work in communications mate, doesn't it hurt that i use to write for love, nothing else and many of your hero's i've wrote about in my spare time, and you wait around at ring side trying to touch your little love hero's as they pass by....

I didnt read most of your post. I just seen you having a dig at the kiwi fighters. Being a judge i wont comment on the post on biased judging.
Gunner would match up well with most of our 168 pounders. He is a slow starter but takes a good punch and can fight.

I agree with some of your points. And Berridge is better off fighting regulary in Aus. But if he can make money in NZ good on him.
Also mentioning Capperello. He is the most avioded fighter here. ALL the top 175 pounders in this country and NZ are avioding him. That is the reason he gets in imports.

Well, I agree he is old and deluded ... but surely you didn't swallow the ex-boxer story?

It's not picking, it was a suggestive that i believe his abilty is beyond the fighters mentioned, Tahia was stopped by kariz, i believe Berridge would do it in quicker fashion, I believe the same of Gunner as N2 stated thier ability isn't there atm, and the reason i stated that Robert is yet to fight a boxer with a winning record in Newzealand, in 18 fights his 4 fights in Australia are his only fights were his opponents have had a winning record. McKinnon is an option, however i believe Flanaghn would have stopped mcKinnon in 8 not for the broken hand and believe that Australia will provide the bloke his best career path, not saying McKinnon can't fight, i just don't think he's a Lt Heavy, he's not world class yet, but we have the fighters here that could get him to that point. IMO he's number 2, and with the right match making he can challenge the number 1 spot,and his fight with Cap was enjoyable and after a few extra fights with quality like we've already provided will prove an even better fight in the rematch. A fight that Cap really needs, as you said he's the most avoided fighter in the country atm, wish that would change.

When is McConville coming back? Bolling? surely this is not one of those story's where they throw away god given?
