And he's our next big smaller-weight prospect. Nz boxing Is a low standard. Gosh, the Argentine has a horrid record.

Junior's probably winning this but surely you've also got to be an entertaining fighter to go anywhere in boxing

Hmmm yeah it's not great. Junior Fa looks bored.
RE: Professional Boxing in NZ - Justapakeha - 05-26-2017
On the ricky murphy debacle: I swear the Argentine looked two weight divisions higher than Ricky at the weigh in. What a joke NZ boxing is, to out him in with a monster like that after being out for a year. Shane Cameron must be thick. Saying that, the Argentine had previously drawn with a guy with a 6-5 record, so youd expect our next big thing to get past him- but not only did he lose, he lost every round. Really embarrassing for NZ boxing. I don't want to hear about any Kiwi prospects again until they have proved they can beat a club-fighter-level import. I don't rate Fa. Nyika looks entertaining; but seriously someone needs to teach these guys about what it takes to be a great boxer, not how to swing hooks and look cool

Is it just me or could Hunter Sam have snatched a draw out of that fight?

The answer is no but very unimpressive from Fa. Having said that, Hunter Sam is an awkward customer and better than his record suggests.
RE: Professional Boxing in NZ - tm7 - 05-26-2017
Fa doesn't seem to have that killer instinct, didn't even look that interested

So Fa couldn't put away a guy with a 12-11 record, who was mildly tricky. What are they teaching Fa then, to fight like the other guy will be a stationary target? Come on. Boxing is about thinking and devising an attack plan vs 'tricky' customers, not just fighting using the absolute bare essentials. Making a statement would be knocking a tricky customer out. Labouring to a tight decision means you are okay. Okay wont pay the bills though. And I thought Fa would be up for a Fred Kassi level fighter this yr. No chance against Kassi.

Trust me I'm with you. Yes Sam was tricky who swiched stances a lot but as you said, he should be showing a lot more intent than what he showed tonight. He looked happy labouring to a points victory when he should have looked force the issue from about round 4. He's got a lot to work on before stepping up to Kassi type fighters.
