That is probably the finest win for an Australian heavyweight since Aussie Joe Bugner beat Greg Page in 1987. (Kali Meehan is a Kiwi-Fijian for me! )

Craig Petersen stopping Alex Stewart isn't far behind though it was a shame what happened to Petersen who could have done something with his career and life!

However Mark seems a decent, clean living sort of chap and Mahone had a damn good record coming into the fight in Auckland so it is a good win in my book! Congratulations Mark!

Although Mahone is a shell of his former self it was a very good win for Mark. I watched the fight, Mark fought alot more conservatively than usual but was justified given Mahones reputation as a banger and his vast experience Mark outboxed and beat Mahone to the punch time and time again.

Mahone needs to retire, but probably wont.

alex leuapi next?

Theres still some good matchups in Australasia for Mark, Bob Mirovic, Colin Wilson, Alex Leapai, Nathan Briggs, hell even Haumono!

I'd be happy to see him fight any of the above

De Mori -v- Haumona would be a fight to look forward to!

beating a former world title challenger is a huge win for me, he is not what he once was, but i think my tactics made him look worse, i refused to let him fight his fight and took away his comfort punch, the jab. i was brought in as the "opponent" but knew if i stuck to my game plan i could win, i had some good sparring with pieter cronje and lawrence tauasa to prepare me
