[QUOTE="james5000, post: 470282, member: 53353"] I don't think these fights can be considered amateur(amateurs don't get paid!!!), they were more like exhibition fights. They did wear something like 16oz gloves as well, amateurs don't have that much padding, they're only used in sparring. McFarland was a lot more mobile than i expected, and he deserved to win. I thought he was going to be a bit old, he did much better than I thought he would do. He made Seuseu look like Suesue lol. Parkinson was **** considering he had such a "boxing pedigree" lol, he got schooled possibly the biggest margin of the night. Koopu was a much better boxer. Holt beat Hareb in an exciting fight, i picked Holt but found myself cheering Hareb. I thought Hareb's fitness was going to pay off, but she was a bit small really. Spencer showed that he's more than just a physical specimen, had that have been a three minute round Guttenbeil was fu*ked. Guttenbeil should have come in a bit heavier, he was pretty much the weaker man in the fight. He did control most of the fight with his reach, but Spencer hit much harder it appeared any way. Luke was pretty crisp against Cullen in the first two rounds but Cullen came home strong. Cullen probably should have gone for it from the start, its hard to come back when you lose the 1st round in a three round fight. I thought big dell might be too strong and use his experience against Messam. Was a close scrap but Messam did enough i thought, he actually was a better puncher and had a bit more skill I thought. Big dell just swung for the fences, and missed most of the time. Not too much to say about the main event, it was **** and neither deserve the cash they make from it, should give it to charity. I heard they pocketed over 100k for that fight. That's a good pay day in NZ boxing, Cameron has only made more cash in one other fight and that was against David Tua. They should have worn regulation pro gloves at least. Monty Betham imo showed enough to suggest had he turned pro at a young age he would have been a class above Shane Cameron. [/QUOTE]
