New Zealand - Heavyweights - Semi-Finals & Final
Semi-Finals:
Tom Heeney vs Toakipa Tasefa - Tasefa was pulling away by being faster to the punch and landing the harder shots. A frustrated Heeney landed 3 low blows in the fight, garnering a warning, losing a point then finally being disqualified in the 8th round to send Tasefa forward. I had it 6-1 Tasefa while Romy Alvarez had it 5-1. The judges had it 3-2, 6-1, 4-2 Tasefa.
Harry Laing vs Shane Cameron - A brilliant brawl with little to no defense as Cameron suprised everyone with the 4th round TKO despite Laing never going down. Cameron took 2 of the first 3 rounds before the stoppage.
Final:
Shane Cameron vs Toakipa Tasefa - Tasefa had built a small lead when he was knocked down in the 8th then cut to stop the fight for the TKO. Cameron moves on as New Zealand's entrant in the World Tournament.
