Niue's Star Tauese fought a close competiton with Ghana tonight, Sunday the 19th of March losing on points 15 - 14 in controversial circumstances.
The refereeing was very difficult to understand and Star was 'Held' out of the match. Niue have protested the result and asked for the fight to be reviewed on tape.
Star had a bad first round losing 8 - 1 but thereafter had the better of his opponent in the next three rounds. The Judges too appeared to miss many scoring shots particularly in the last minute of the contest.
The bout could have gone either way and was a credit to the two contestants...
