Boxing In New Zealand: Tua Crushes Cameron In Comeback

By Bruce Dingo October 3rd, 2009 All Boxing Results

"King" David Tua recaptured the crown of New Zealand boxing today when the former world heavyweight title challenger put an end to the aspirations of rugged Kiwi Shane Cameron at The Mystery Creek Events Centre in Hamilton.

It was well expected that Cameron would have to stick and move if he were to keep the much shorter and huge-punching Tua at arm's length and the 31 year old tried to do just that once the bell sounded.

But the far more experienced Tua knew how to negate Cameron's attempts and was soon putting dents into his opponent with big, booming shots.

Cameron was just about finished by the end of the the first round but was saved by the bell. No such luck came to his aid in the second as Tua simply picked up where he left off and the one-sided contest was mercifully halted. More...

It was a good Saturday night across Asia and we'll kick things off Down Under in Melbourne, Australia where there was a superb bill at The Peninsula.

PABA Light Heavyweight Champ Daniel "Porky" Lovett, 17-3 (10), was in action in a non-title affair with former Australian titlist Jamie Guy, 9-9-1 (7) that went the distance.

After ten rounds of combat, Lovett emerged the winner via scores of 100-89, 99-91 and 98-92 to win his third straight contest since losing the IBF Pan Pacific Super Middle crown to Nader Hamdan.

Big punching light welter Lance Gostelow, 16-1 (13), led the way on the undercard, belting out ex-WBC Asian Boxing Council titlist Sataporn Singwancha, 17-6-1 (10), of Thailand, at 2:09 of the second round.

Another Thai import took it on the chin as current Australian Super Middle titlist Les Sherrington, 20-5 (13), crushed Bangkok slugger Plaisakda Singwancha, 35-16 (29), at 1:58 of the first frame of a six round non-title bout.

Australian Light Middle kingpin Frank LoPorto, 9-3-2 (5), rounded out the bill by stopping Indonesia's Hendrik Aritonang, 2-13 (1), in the second.

Saturday also featured a big card at Cebu Coliseum in Cebu City, Philippines, where Ciso Morales, Bert Batawang and Ranee Ganoy all entered the winner's circle. More...

Boxing In Australia: Friday Night Results

It was a massive night of fisticuffs last night Down Under and with so much action to choose from, it's difficult to know where to start!

But start we must and that takes us to the Sydney area where at the Catholic in Campbelltown, NSW, there was a big showdown at middleweight between IBO Champion Daniel Geale and challenger Geard Ajetovic.

Geale was coming off a masterful boxing performance last December against previously undefeated slugger Daniel "The Rock" Dawson to win the vacant IBO belt and but the Mt. Annan stylist was facing a tough challenge in this one.

Ajetovic, a native Serbian who has fought his entire career in England, had completed his last six bouts without a loss following a narrow disappointment to European Champ Christopher Canclaux in a non-title bout two years ago.

When the bout started, it was clear that Geale possessed the sharper skills and ring generalmanship, but the dangerous Ajetovic closed distance and badly the champion in the fifth round. More...
