Nort is the kind of boxer I love a true gentleman out of the ring and an absolute mongrel in it.
In some ways I think fighting away from home suits him best because he does not feel the need to showboat and entertain the crowd which he has tried to do in the past.
I want to see the kid go as far as he can go but to keep things on context it is only a WBF strap. Don't forget Julias Long is fighting for their heavyweight belt.
In saying that Nort can only beat who is in front of him and he did that easily. Don't judge him on his other fights in NZ as he is a lightweight or super feather just hasn't been able to get opponents at those weights in NZ.
Before Saturday's fight he was ranked something like 850 on boxrec as a lightweight. The Ozzies he's calling out are ranked in the 30s and 50s on boxrec as super feathers. We all know boxrec is far from gospel but if Nort can beat those guys he moves forward very quickly.
Fingers crossed he gets fights over there but would love to see him against a decent Ozzie on a Duco card if they have another one later in the year but they would probably rather find a Kiwi kick boxer to fight him for $1000.
Hope he gets the opportunities he has worked hard for and deserves
