What do people think?

I think that regional titles are worthless, I'm not sure I'd forfeit some of my purse to pay the sanctioning body for a shiny pointless belt.

They arnt totally worthless if you was a rankings in the top 15 you need a regional title

plus its good to have something to aim for you know like State titles e.g NSW title, National title, Regional title, international/intercontinental title and then world title

I was just referring to the alphabet governing bodies titles. Winning a state title is of much more importance (in my opinion), as for getting a world top 15 ranking for beating a Filipino/Indonesian with dubious credentials is beyond me. Inevitably just setting yourself up for a big fall with the next massive step up in class.

On a seperate note Benny, have you heard anything about Reece Papuni fighting on the Sept 26 Christchurch bill? Any names?

Reece is looking to go down a weight so the bout was cancelled

Any idea when/who he'll fight again?

I dont know
