Just to get away from the disaster of a main event, thought I'd post up my (very brief) notes from the undercard for the blokes that didn't see it.

Happy for anyone to point out where they think I've got it wrong.

Cameron v Ammann (Cameron via comfortable UD)

Cameron rarely troubled and relatively composed. Decent body attack and a few good patches, but never really found that next gear.
Ammann: awkward and relatively resilient. some success with a long left hand from the southpaw stance.

Interesting that he mentioned fighting Green in his post fight speech and then was on hand to issue the challenge after the main event. Is that Main Event's doing or a bit of showmanship from Green promotions? How big is Cameron in NZ? Does this fight have potential for cross-over appeal to mainstream sports fans?

Mostyn Niemann v Shane Tilyard (Niemann wins every round + 2 KDs)

Clear to see that Niemann had some amateur pedigree. Good bag of punches and some decent pop in his right hand and left hook for the young 21 year old.

Didn't go overboard when the bad cut sprang up in the second. Will be disappointed that he didn't close the show after having Tilyard ready to go after two KDs in the second.


Matt Garlett v Luke Norton (Garlett via TKO in the second)

Garlett looks good early and has a respectable jab. Nice snappy sort of fighter. Norton doesn't look to be a complete can either. I get up to take a leak and come back to see it's all over. The replay shows Gartlet throw that jab to set up a peach of an overhand right that scores a big KD. Norton bravely back to his feet, but powerless to defend against the inevitable onslaught from Garlett, and the ref waves it away. Can anyone tell me any more about Garlett?

Brad Pitt v Oscar Siale (Pitt via TKO in the third)

Siale apparently coming back only three weeks after losing a torrid majority decision to Dom Vea. The replays of that fight show a badly busted up fighter, and it's no surprise when a crisp and fluid Brad Pitt handles him with ease to register the round three TKO. 5 wins for Pitt now with 4 stoppages. Prospect?


Jack Asis v Willie Kickett (Kickett via UD without dropping a round)

Fight seemed a lot closer than it ended on the scorecards. Kickett was super slick as usual and looked to have a bit more intent in his punching than I've seen in the past. Asis is a capable journeyman with a wealth of experience and pushes Kickett to the bell. Kickett looking a million dollars, but a sharp offense has always been there. Time to step it up again for 'Cool' Willie?

Brad Pitt was really impressive, blowing out the same fighter that went the distance with Dominic Vea albeit only 3 weeks ago.

Thanks for the wrap-up mate, nice work.

Kickett looked very sharp, part Floyd Mayweather part Roy Jones. Misses too much with his big shots though. Didn't hurt his man once, though Asis was one tough little dude.

Oscar Siale should not have been fighting so soon after the war with Vea.

I like young Garlett. He's got some pop in his punches and isn't afraid to throw them. I remember when he made his debut a while back on a Green undercard, he blasted the guy out in the 1st round. He is much more refined now.

His only loss was a fight against good QLD prospect Corey McConnell, who I rate pretty highly.
