When ask what his opinion on a certain comment, Benjamin Watt Stated...

“I am the type of person that says no matter what the result is you should always show aroha respect and kindness to boxers, officials, trainers, managers, family and friends. I personally did not see the bout between Nailini vs Ange as I was tending to an injured boxer. However I do not care who wins, lose or draws, no one deserves abuse like this especially since the event promoted world suicide day and the mika haka foundation. We will not accept abuse like this and we as a community should not accept abuse like this especially when someone is telling someone else to go kill themselves”

NZPBA Secretary Sir Pat Leonard has accepted the appeal and will be putting together a committee to view and consider its decision. There will be no further comment in the meantime till all facts and Appeal considered.”

A few accusations have been made toward the commissioning body including rigging the fight due to Nailini Helu being close to have a world title shot this time next year, all the judges are related and came in pre empted with a plan and the score cards from one of the judges were altered.
