Amazing reply, thanks for answering. I'll check those guys out.
Interesting insight on the Polynesian genetics. I suppose it might be different strokes for different blokes. Their build might be good for rugby but not so much for the hit and not get hit sweet science.
The NZ scene sounds similar to how the Uk had been for ages. You would get the occasional exception like Lennox Lewis and Joe Calzaghe who were really great boxers, but most were tough or brawling types like Hatton, Froch, Benn, Eubank. Good to hear it's growing in popularity though. Are Duco and Parker helping with that? I know Eddie Hearn and Carl Froch fighting George groves seemed to be a catalyst of sorts over here. Kids started seeing boxing as a viable option. Plus the London Olympics programme.
