Re: New zealand boxers???
Sonny Bill Williams got the decision against Frans Botha last night after the 12 round fight got shortened to 10 rounds in a ritle fight!
He was getting battered and nearl got stopped at the end of the tenth and I dont know if the ref is made aware of the decision before the MC announces it but the ref lifts Williams hand before he would know he was the winner!

Historically New Zealand produced Tom Heeney who got a World Heavyweight title fight against Gene Tunney.
Also like seemingly half the world, they too have a claim to Bob Fitzsimmons.

Joseph Parker (watch for his younger brother in a few years)
We had some excellent fighters in the 60's & 70's!
