In front
of more than 2000 spectators, Tamaititahio put on
a scintillating performance to stop Leamy Tato
from New Zealand by technical knockout in round
five of the scheduled twelve rounder.
Tamaititahio took control of the fight from round
one, much to the delight of the partisan crowd,
and never allowed his opponent to have much
success.
The end
came when referee Reginald Leca decided that
Tato had taken enough punishment, and correctly
saved the brave visitor from the onslaught.
