The same day I became an Uncle I also went to the 'Fight of the Century' between NZ Heavyweights David 'the tuamanator' Tua and Shane 'the mountain warrior' Cameron. Being the event that it was me and the boys put on a tidy shirt for fight night and headed along early to catch the undercards. Funnily enough we saw a few well known NZ celebrities who actually had worse seats than us, shame. And being a Tua supporter and having listened to the banter over the interviews for the months leading up to the big fight I was pretty pumped to see David Tua knock down Cameron 3 times and stop the fight in under 4 minutes for what was scheduled to go 12 rounds. So excited in fact that when there was not a single bum on their seat after Tua unleashed I yelled at one of my friends "bro lets learn how to box!". The wait in traffic to get out of the venue was 10 times longer than the actual fight itself but I still enjoyed watching it live and direct. About 10 seconds into the second round Cameron took 13 consecutive punches to the head before hitting the canvas, I guess that's what happens when you get a bit cheeky...
