1st up, no disrespect to anyone here... you guys are awesome for stepping up and stepping in...

Bam Bam to win his..

Tough call... Vinnie is a hard nut thats for sure... will call this super-duper (sorry boys) heavyweight bout a draw...

Kasi v Alex will be a cracker... I seen Kasi in town and man he has fast hands!!!! Kasi to win

JJ - in the first... but the longer the fight goes, Agaese will have he fitness... another tough call

Jaye to win this due to experience... but do us Rangas proud Alex!!

Is there anything Baxy cant do?? Cricket, League now boxing... anohter tough one... Will pick Baxy

Power fight the next one... I dont think there will be much footwork involved in this fight... Matt to win... maybe...

Joe to win the next bout... will be a blockbuster though

Phil v Weasel... the Fly-weights... will be quick... blink and you might miss it... I think Phil should win but Weasel is a tough lil fire crouch... maybe the red will see him through??

Tali should win... experience etc...

and Mo to take out the battle of the refs..... I mean the Coach vs the Ref fight... I reckon Mo could still be playing/reffing prems!!! The competitive streak will get him through easily!!

Well theres a few fence sitting calls!! hahhaa

A big thank you again to all fighters who are stepping up to the challenge and everyone out there who is supporting this event.

email your new picks through to: au@aranui-high.school.nz

how come no one from the hornets is fighting?

We tried to get a Hornet to fight but apparently their focus is only on footy this year or something along those lines. We had a couple of guys from their lined up but they pulled plug.

We (Keas) are very thankful to those fighters that have put the hard yards in and the clubs who are supporting this unique event on the Canterbury Rugby League calendar. See you all on Saturday night!

who won please LOL
no doubt awesome night for all who attended

What an absolutely great event! Well done Keas for your organisation and management. I really enjoyed the the night.
Full credit to all the boys who got in the ring, I take my hat off to you all.
I thought big Vinnie and Teni fight was the best of the night also JJ smith and tali had a great fight too!! All fighters went hard and were very entertaining!!

Congratulations to current Auckland Vulcans squad member and NZ Domestic player of the year for 2009, Johnny Aranga who is the winner of the boxing picks competition. Johnny picked a total of 8/8 correct. Weasel and Phil's fight was disregarded due to weasel's withdraw at late notice.
