Emerging threats in NZ at the moment:

Each has strengths and weaknesses:

Sydney - Power and Southpaw, very good kicker, but hands are still a little lose

Paula - Hasn't been tested yet, know one knows how he will go against a big leg kicker

Peter Sampson - Great kicker, Big guy with good power - but needs to use his range better with his hands to set up his kicks - lost to Daniel due to a shin cut

Daniel - Power in both hands, solid kicker, very durable but short for a heavyeweight and can be vunerable to a fast handed fighter

Tavita - good power hands but needs to up the kicking side of things


Andrew Peck and Hiriwa Te Rangi would both be great opponents for any of these guys to get past and see wether they can step it up a notch ...Overall its finally great to see new names coming through in NZ its long over due otherwise what happens when Sefo, Suttie and co retire ?

Peter Slane - regarding Syd knocking out Jason Suttie or Ron Sefo - even though you are a fan which is cool it is a big step up for him right now and is really quite disrespectful to fighters who have proven their credentials internationally. Careful not to bag one fighter when pumping up another.

Scotty I'd like to see Peter and Daniel rematch as the last fight was stopped due to a shin cut. What do you reckon?
