Shane Cameron fight.

Can he get his eyebrows cauterised (serious question) coz it seems to be that he was severely hampered by his inability to see.

NZ boxing also needs to get their shit sorted in allowing that ring surface. What a joke! Even the ref had trouble keeping his feet. I think it took a lot away from what the fight could have been.

Just like everyone else has said unfortunately Cameron gets cut to easily.
The stuff he took early on was nothing but it still opened him up. Fatigue, blood, sweat and the pain every time Friday tagged him was just to much and he wouldn't have been able to see them coming.

I think the fight would have been different had they been able to keep their feet. Cameron may or may not have won, maybe Friday could have scored more big hits because every time Friday set up to throw a punch, he slipped. But I do think the fight would have been over quicker.

completely disagree. If they had stopped it in R8 there would be big questions all over the place. Esp when cameron knocked that last guy out when he had a broken hand. Once of them needed to hit the canvas hard for the fight to be stopped. Cameron just needed to stay out of the way for another minute and he would have been right but got tagged big time. I dont think he even saw the second knockdown coming. Just stood up for long enough to wipe the blood out of his eyes.

Lets hope that is not the end of his career cause we know how quickly NZ drop sportmen who arent winning all the time.

I get your point but the guy that Cameron knocked out with the broken hand was nowhere near the class of Friday. They're consenting adults and I love it that fully grown men are willing to pound each other for my entertainment, but Shane took too much damage. He was always in with a chance but he wont have many more fights like that in him. Not without some permanent damage occurring.

The condition of the ring was a bloody disgrace and while the corners are at fault, the ring officials should not allow it to happen.

I admire Cameron's courage in taking that gamble, it almost paid off too.

I thought Cameron fought well but like Henry Cooper, former British heavy weight who decked Cassius Clay, (later known as Mohamed Ali) he could never get past his cut eyes and his opponents plundered them.

Cameron's style causes him to take too many hits, he's a tough cookie but will soon be walking on his heels if he keeps boxing, it's just not worth that.(IMHO) John.

Agreed........to be honest i thought it was so bad they might have had a clean up.Did a bit when a young fella myself.Anyone remember Perry Rackly?

Yep I sorta knew Perry when I was a little younger. Don't hold that against me though
