Craig, not sure what he could have done better. He was very ordinary, with a huge heart. I always felt that when he got his top ten ranking, he should have gone for it and faced a top ranked contender. Not LL or a Klit, but a top 5 guy.
In fairness to Shane he was a smaller HW -decent power but not explosive power, huge heart as you stated and champion work ethic.
Caught between two weight classes really, just not the speed, movement or agility needed to be a cruiser champ.
Danny Green beat him via the scales.
Who knows what may have happen if he held on v Friday... was going well until his heart start pumping blood via his eyebrows.
Gets alot of flack for the Tua fight but he made them both $$, as we know Tua had insane power but terrible work ethic... Cameron woke the beast unfortunately for him that night.
Was rapt for him to get that Barrett KO - a career highlight
Did pretty well after boxing as well- should be regard as a Kiwi sports hero I think.
