Nelson Asofa-Solomona makes statement with KO on debut
Two-time NRL premiership winner Nelson Asofa-Solomona needed less than a round to emerge victorious on his professional debut, stopping another ex-footy player in Jeremy Latimore.
The towering Kiwi sounded a warning shot with an uppercut earlier in the round before landing the same punch shortly after, sending Latimore to the canvas and ending the bout.
NAS then confirmed his willingness to face any NRL player next.
Stevan Ivic does just enough versus Liam Taliva'a
(96-94 x2, 95-95)
The Australian heavyweight title remained in Stevan Ivic's possession after he claimed a majority decision victory over Liam Taliva'a.

In the end, two judges saw it for Ivic by the narrowest of margins.

That famous Liam Wilson left hook did the damage again, this time sending Rodex Piala to the canvas via a savage body shot in the fourth round.

(60-54 x3)
