Super 8

[bennyaha1]

Looking forward to Super 8 III
I am disappointed that it isn't a Light-Heavyweight Tournament like it was originally planned but at least Brian Minto is involved
Shouldnt there be a Super 8 Title option in the Title of Boxrec?
anyway whats the predictions for the weekend?

[Gnome]

I had forgotten about this! Who is fighting this weekend?

[Gnome]

Just saw the line-up again - surely Minto will walk this in??

[tsmithy50]

I hope Asher Derbyshire wins, not sure if he's got enough. I'm really looking forward to the Soi/Mckrackon fight and exciting heavyweight prospect Hemi Ahoi is fighting Clarence Tilmann. Should Bea good night.

If you like I can do other events as well because I'm starting to get more involved in the Boxing scene in NZ and you probably gathered its a passion of mine

[AntonS]

I will do it

Thanks! If posting in forum, please start new thread e.g. Super 8 basic results......or do you want my mob number?

[Kelandbeave]

Wow Adam Hollioake is going to get his head knocked off against Monty Betham

I'd be prepared to take $1.10

[bennyaha1]

I'm hoping that When Monty Betham Wins he will go after Monty Filimaea for his Unified NZNBF and NZPBA cruiserweight Titles

These tournaments can be good to watch. One of the keys is getting through the early rounds quickly (preferably by KO) and unscathed.

[bennyaha1]

I hope these one of these Tournaments happen more often but i just hope the next one isnt cruiserweight again

[tsmithy50]

Interestingly Hemi Ahio has had no amateur experience, must just be a natural.

[bennyaha1]

Its amazing isnt it when boxing comes naturally to people and be great at it

[tsmithy50]

He was superb on the first super eight undercard when he knocked down and beat Will Quarrie.

[bennyaha1]

poor Will Quarrie beaten at two super 8s in a row to people who i have to say are amazing boxers

[bennyaha1]
