AMI CENTRE - MARCH 22ND 2014 - CORNER MAN
On Saturday Liam, Tearoha and Barbie had bouts in Auckland at the AMI Centre. Grant, Junior, Trish, Piata, Maria and myself were there to help and support and Junior and I did the corner for Liam and Barb. It was a great experience, a first time for me. It's all about getting them ready physically and mentally and keeping them calm while allowing them to get sparked up and ready.
My only slip-up was forgetting to put Liam's mouthguard back in before the last round (sorry bro!) but after jumping up and putting it back in (which created a short time stoppage) all was well and the fight continued - resulting in a WIN for Liam - the man!
