| TONGA VS SAMOA BOXING REVIEW | 6/3/08 | ||
| ||||
| SHAKOBE BOXING I know that when Samoa vs Tonga Boxing came to NZ my 1st impression was shot! Yeayah! Kewl! Osum! and all that. Big hits and k.o. fights came to mind, although I prefer watching a boxing match over a brawl any day especially good boxing scientific matches, if there is such a description, but you know what I mean anyways where was I, oh yeah. When I first heard of this, my immediate thought was BOXING, not Tonga vs Samoa but BOXING. Many people did not see the BOXING but rather the TONGA VS SAMOA, which I guess would bring out feelings of fear. Fear as in 2 cultures who are physically big strong people, 2 cultures who may in the past had bad blood between them. Being half of both worlds, a deadly combination some would say, I can understand where they, who chose not to attend are coming from. I know it was painful for them though cos they LOVE Boxing. When I attended the last event we did have a little scuffle there which I personally feel the media blew out of proportion, of course they would, be it at a Tonga vs Samoan Boxing match. In the build up to the next Tonga vs Samoa match many people did not want to attend thinking that because of the little scuffle last time, it would probably result in some kind of revenge or trouble. I heard all sorts of rumours of people gathering up troublemakers to spoil the night. That really pissed me off! Especially when rugby fans of all different colours and race could gather and cheer on their favourite rugby teams side by side and yet in Boxing we could not. Last night's Tonga vs Samoa was osum, scheduled to start at 5pm. By 5pm everything was half full or half done. The seats were half full, the corporate tables were half out the chairs half done the palagi boxing official half asleep, snoring while the people waited patiently for the Boxing to begin. The programme kicked off with our youth in amateur boxing. I so wanted to yell out but I couldn?t cos I love all those kids. I took a seat back and watched a young boy by the name of cole fight a more experienced Ambrose. I was very impressed with cole and made a mental note to look out for him in the future. By the way, that mental note of names is growing so fast. Ambrose?s name was already on it. The m.c. for the night was comedian Vela Manusaute. He set an owsum tone to the night by providing us a night of humour. Besides flirting with the palagi professional boxing judge, we thought it was very balsy of him. Especially when her father was the Boxing referee Lance Revill who also fought for NZ back in the dinosaur days and her husband, a police cop who was also a boxing judge, sitting on the left hand side of the ring LOL. Vela included the security guards, people from the audience and even the boxing Officials into his jokes, so it was a nice way of making us all feel hmmmm how should I say it? At home??? Comfortable??? Yanno what I mean lol. It was a good ?feel good? atmosphere. There were celebrities there such as Jason Suttie, David Tua and a famous kick boxer by the name of ummm...errr...I know he?s famous I just don?t watch k1 as much lol. Actually, I had been watching this person train at the A.B.A he looked so familiar but I could not figure out where I had seen him before until last night when he was announced yeah a real famous russian k1 Boxer. We had live entertainment, which had many women of all different ages asking me for the phone number of those guys that entertained us. One woman had to catch her teeth while trying to pronounce the Niuean guys name. I told her she should look out for the SUPER FRESH DVD coming out soon then she can perv all she likes. There were 2 k.o?s in the Professional bouts. The 1st by Esikeli Maama on the Tongan side. This was his 1st professional debut and though I cheered hard out for Eses?s win I cheered equally as loud for junior pati and his efforts in an owsum fight. The second was Bob Gasio from the Samoan team whom K.Oed his opponant, which caught me by suprise and even though I cheered hard for Bob I applauded etisone for his efforts in an owsum fight. I watched David Tua run to the Etisone to see if he was ok and then embrace him with a big hug. There is so much more behind the title of Tonga Vs Samoa. There is money for Amateur Boxing NZ there is a platform for our youth in Boxing, there is a platform for the next Boxer to follow in the footsteps of David Tua. It may be a platform for the next world champion. It is possible you know. It could also be the sport to bring people together. So next time SHAKOBE has a Boxing promotion come and experience a new kind of entertainment. A night of comedy, action, entertainment and community bonding. C U there! posted by SoulSurfah | ||||

| TONGA vs SAMOA 4: FINAL SHOWDOWN MONDAY 02 JUNE 2008 (QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY) OTARA RECREATION CENTRE, AUCKLAND The fourth and final part in the "Tonga vs Samoa" series will be happening next Monday at the Otara Recreation Centre with a Showdown of top Tongan and Samoan professional boxers. The objective of these promotions is to help revive and promote Pacific Island boxing. The first two promotions were held in Tonga last year and the third promotion on the 28th of March this year in Auckland pulled in an audience of around two thousand people. According to New Zealand Professional Boxing Association's Secretary General, Mr Pat Leonard, "Pacific Island boxing is back and on its way" and these promotions are helping the resurgence of professional boxing in the Pacific. Promoter Kenny Tau from Shakobe Entertainment said "I believe that future world champions will come from the Pacific. It's time to start looking for the next Kitione Lave or David Tua." He also said that it has been hard for boxers to make the transition from amateur to professional because of the lack of local promotions and support in the islands. Four out of the five Tongan boxers had to be flown-in from Tonga for this promotion and this is the second group of boxers that Shakobe Entertainment has brought into NZ. The fight program consists of five professional and three amateur bouts. The main event will be a cruiserweight contest between 3 time Oceania gold medalist Bob Gasio of Samoa against undefeated Tongan cruiserweight 'Etisoni Vea. On the undercard, former NZ super-heavy amateur champion 'Isikeli Maama is turning professional and having his debut pro fight against former NZ Golden Gloves Champion Junior Pati. Tongan heavyweight 'Alipate Liava'a will clash with Amosa Zinck of Samoa. Tongan cruiserweight Supileo 'Uhatafe will fight Francis Partsch of Samoa. The amateur bouts will feature 2008 Oceania silver medalist Junior Fa, Piutau Pani and 14 year-old female boxing sensation/2008 NZ Golden Gloves Champion Magan Maka. Live entertainment will be provided by NCTC, Glen "JXN" Jackson, J Brown and up-and-coming hip-hop/r'n'b artist Shado Avia from Samoa. This is an alcohol-free promotion for the whole family and the wider NZ boxing community. Tickets will be available at the door and the fights start from 5pm. Shakobe Entertainment is leading the resurgence of professional boxing in Tonga and the South Pacific.
