What a night for the ROC fight team.
3 fighters. 3 fights. 3 wins. 🥊
A massive congratulations to Culann, Kelly and Shannon for the way you represented ROC at Karapiro Cage Fights last night.
All three came away with the win, with Shannon closing out the night in the main event and bringing home a shiny new belt for the gym. 🏆
Results are always great, but as coaches we’re just as proud of the work that happens long before anyone steps through those ropes. The training, the hard rounds, the sacrifices, the nerves, the discipline and the willingness to keep learning. Last night was the reward for a lot of work behind the scenes.
A huge thank you and respect to our opponents and their gyms. It takes two fighters to make a fight, and we genuinely appreciate everyone who steps up and gives our guys the opportunity to test themselves and grow. Nothing but respect.
Thank you also to Nigel and NJE Promotions for having us and putting together another great night at Karapiro Cage Fights. We appreciate the opportunity to be part of it.
And to our ROC whānau, supporters and teammates, thank you. Whether you’re fighting, sparring, holding pads, helping someone through a hard round, travelling to the shows or standing ringside making plenty of noise, you’re part of this. We simply can’t grow without the people around us. Special mention to Ray Ray for his mahi out back and in the corner, padding the boys and locking in that flow before the fights, you’re the man Ray Ray! Thank you bro.
We’ll enjoy this one, then it’s back to work.
There are plenty of challenges waiting for us over the weeks and months ahead, new goals to chase and another level for all of us to reach.
Proud of this team. Proud of these three.
Onwards and Upwards 🥊
