I was at the fight for life and remember thinking Monty did a great job of staying out of the way and avoiding the big blows, good foot work, but that appeared to be his only goal, he never really tried to go toe to toe or even out punch/score Cameron. In saying that, he probably knew he couldn't beat Cameron so concentrating on avoiding a KO was his best beat. I would have done the same thing haha

[@drew21241]

betham cant even box just throws his arms and was running the whole time

[@isthatthebestyougot4845]

I know Monty has absolutely shit technique

[@rikimackey7984]

He put up a good fight against a decent heavyweight and survived comfortably

[@4DoorsDown]

Monty Beffn haha

[@KlonoaPS01]

1:12 Shanes expression when Monty throws last punch. priceless.

[@chickentwisties2298]

I don't know how tall Monty Beetham is but he's definitely not 180cm he's 175 at best lol

[@arigold9448]

So all this time I was told Monty was a good boxer lol 😂

[@theephraimite]

Compared to you he is.🤣😆😂

[@YallNotWhite_YourPINK]

Nah he was just good at beating up australians on a rugby pitch 😂

[@jealousmeister8317]

All da muscle no power

[@ilizitch]

Surely Monty has to be disappointed with how he fought, not once did he try to put himself in a position to win the fight, if he's honest with himself he was too scared of getting knocked out than giving it his all. Cabbage...

[@jimmypage1969]

Actually it was James Cook that put NZ on the map. But if you have a better explanation of why Samoans deserve the credit please tell.

[@vSmitezzdN]

@James Reed first white guy and first man to put him on the map yes

[@raidenjax6223]

Samoans put NZ on the map in Boxing and with their so many superstars in different genres. James Cook didn't do shit and he was not the man who discovered NZ.

[@ClassicBoxingMatches]

Shane was holding back but Betham had some things going for him. He had good foot work at times and a decent block. Those things won't win you a fight just by themselves of course... But Betham was just trying to survive, I don't think he had any intention of actually going toe-to-toe with Cameron.

[@pantherinae]

@mollzm Lol! The name of the game is indeed boxing and there are rules to be followed. This isn't street fighting and cheap shots aren't to be tolerated, plain and simple. I have no problem with either fighter but there is no denying that Monty used a lot of dirty shots in this game. Its undeniable.

[@keatonwallis3093]

Is Monty betham from nz or somewhere else?

[@187prettyboy]

@NiueCherryCurls30 Hard to when you have a runner in the ring, kinda like trying to catch a spring chicken.

[@STR8AZZ]

reckon mate thanx for posting

[@luchiboy]

No it was Abel Tasman. Though the Maoris populated NZ first. He was referring to the world boxing map. Samoans have done alot to put NZ in world boxing and other fighting and sporting codes alike

[@aussiemika1]

Betham is all punching

[@HungryLikeTheWolf70]

Haha Monty thinks he's Tua/Maywether/Sefo mate stick to league

[@niotamatoamarsters6222]

Monty took on a real boxer tho give props to the uso

[@HungryLikeTheWolf70]

@@niotamatoamarsters6222 I give him props for sure. But his attitude and demeanour in the ring is mad disrespectful. Not even professional boxers show that much disrespect.

[@niotamatoamarsters6222]

@@HungryLikeTheWolf70 yea i agree bro👍

[@KB-cp9ds]

@@HungryLikeTheWolf70 what a dumb thing to say boxers aren’t cocky lol Whitakker/Benitez/Camacho, they were worse than Betham 😂 😂 😂

[@kohekade2961]

@@KB-cp9ds Please don't tell me you mean Pernell Whitaker?, because he could back up his attitude, the guy could dodge every shot being up against the corner, that takes true talent.

[@TheDicamillo]

haha it was funny when monty does a cheap shot on cameron then looks to the crowd and raises his arm.

[@GisborneDAVE]

Yep. What a twat he was

[@MaoriWithaGun]

thumbs up if you want a 12 round rematch in 2012

[@SemiKalosi]

And yet, here you are, still dreaming about your goals when he's been on the big stage and earned more than you have (and probably will) in your lifetime... Not bad for a coconut.

[@bobsta832]

gud on both of them. for supportin the cause gud stuff keep up the gud work guys...

[@southaucklandpolynesia]

FULL FIGHT ANY ONE?

[@tauharamatiubennett8709]

Monty thought he was David.

[@luckystronga6439]

Monty you crack up lol

[@jimmypage1969]

He was the first to circumnavigate NZ and he litererally mapped the land of NZ

[@ezekiel676]

After that cheap shot by Monty, Cameron should have got serious and hurt him.

[@TyronePiahana]

monty is a pro boxer and field scrapper too so kinda even matchup!

[@samleota11]

How is it that James Cook put NZ on the map???? do tell

[@Avondalee828]

well said ronnie

[@mamiChikTPO]

@NCwolfspain AGREED

[@DJMATRIXVIDEOBLENDZ]

Shit haven't seen this till now who actually won? Its not mentioned on the video?

[@bigdosser7448]

Alot of these comments forgot who won😂😂😂

[@ClassicBoxingMatches]

*bet not beat

[@fijianz1]

Monty wants to train boxers. . .where had he learned to box and who had he fought that gives him threes skills to become a trainer...and: no one ! He is just a fit guy but no boxer. . Let's have a Cameron vs Monty fight sometime with a title on the line. Go the mountain warrior !

[@RonnieRingwood]

lol a fight broke out within a fight

[@GunsMoreGunsAndStuff]

Shane Cameron ! GIVE UP BOXING, AND TAKE UP HUGGING !!!

[@Aigalo72]

Like i said we luv it when ya hate on us so keep it coming you know and i know we world wide

[@xHopshotx]

0:53 Monty hit shane with a nice little flurry

[@paia852]

lmaooooo,, malo monty! straight samoan style haha

[@ZACKYCHAN100]

betham doesnt like gettin a hiding aye

[@reesebaird]

shane cameron couldn't even get close to monty, monty had great speed and reflexes nothing even hurt him i think if he had thrown more punches at the end he could of won

[@sassy12379]

should have been SBW and Shane, right?

[@h7p10]

I must admit looking back at my comment, I did echo your comment about who/ was the first settler here in nzl. Ohh and as for your point about NZL samoans dominating our national teams then any other pacific ISLAND ? ..... I guess in a way if you look at it overall yes,

[@rickydickydoooo]

MONTY BETHAM IS A SHOWOFF

[@187prettyboy]

Country (no islands). Well that rules NZ out then.

[@NZleaguefan]

it was a professional boxer vs a ex-league star whos been out of it for awhile, dont forget the only reason they got cameron was because everyone else was too drop nuts to take on monty

[@kalebalzino6293]

Brock Lesnar vs Monty

[@SuRXtC]

@Brewerchch at least kimbo slice throws a punch

[@fjbutch]

Onya ref...tell 'em how it is!!

[@SuperEzepeze]

ok mr police man

[@rickydickydoooo]

monty betham is a showpony... he was showing off the whole damn fight

[@TheDeceptikron]

Say that now... After he took the belt BACK from Barrett in the 4th round

[@GLugz]

This is my spin on this fight. These two guys are good mates out of the ring. Shane new he had it over Monty so was going into the fight half cocked. Monty wanted Shane to go at him guns blazing but he knew he wouldn't so he done all he could to try and get Shane amped. Much respect to Monty but he was way out of his league here and why Shane was on Fight for life I don't know. Should have kept it as it is, a side show.

[@lostgeek04]

to good 187prettyboy from a kiwi living in aussie

[@187prettyboy]

@NCwolfspain Huh, there was no hiding here. Shane clearly won the fight. And yes Shane has received a hiding before, from Tua.

[@MrBigolnuts]

thats boxing?

[@luchiboy]

You pretty much echoed what I wrote dude. NZ Samoans occupy alot more of our national teams then any other Pacific Island was my point. And of course the Maoris were here 1st- I was merely stating that Tasman was before Cook

[@reobarrt]

monty YOUR A BIG GIRL ON ROYDS

[@0mgIts_Zoe]

gooo uncle monty

[@685LA]

Monty is prob 174cm in height at most

[@TheDeceptikron]

riiiight that's why he socked it to Barrett last night and took that belt off his ass

[@kiwibro1000]

Chur Monty did well for some one who hasnt been in the ring for awhile !! wat a shame he didnt stick with boxing !!

[@187prettyboy]

@Rekuiemu A bit of a let down from Betham. People spend a lot of money for this charity event and great cause, he could have at least put up a bigger fight, instead of running around then only punching when the ref breaks them up. You cannot show off and do the Ali dance until you have done something or ahead on points. But he was down on points, yet was still dancing. :\

[@Alvie5]

nice fight Monty, fast hands u sure made cameron fustrated

[@Matak12]

Monty take it easy its a charity fight geez

[@braxton242]

Monty betham gave him a fukn good go, got some more than decent skills i reckon.

[@JangoFatty]

monty fucking dropped his guard and was against the ropes the whole time, plus that fucking cheap shot. shane clearly won that

[@bruceharrison7859]

Gee up fight

[@Palpac]

@z0mgrugbyreturns yeah true i guess. Cameron owned him, Betham seems to be playing boxer not actually being one. Maybe this will end up in a 12 rounder. Betham has no composure, always losing his temper, like when he played league.

[@187prettyboy]

@meekz87 Couldn't knock him out, yes Shane is useless. We all know that. Maybe if Monty stopped running around the ring and dancing, Shane maybe could have had a chance to knock him out.

[@18rjos]

@TheSimolar Ha wud like to see you in the ring

[@Wolfmada]

Pretty sure the MAORI did that boy

[@deanwitt7903]

Monty wouldn’t have ever lasted in a 12 rounder with Cameron . He be gone by 5 or 6 .

[@efks180]

I dont know why the ref tried to stop it. They were alright. If it wasn't 4 the refs interference would make the fight more interesting.

[@nicknj80]

Monty did well, Cameron is s pro while month is essentially a retired league player.

[@jimmypage1969]

You're right, I said " James cook was the first to put nz on the map" which he was. Look it up mate, he was the first to fully circumnavigate nz and put it on the map. "Bogan Bitch"? Good on ya mate, I'm not going to stoop that low.

[@25Lawlis]

LMAO shane you tryna FIABOKO to another samoan? shit we go hard in the paint uso lmao

[@ab182644]

1:11 that was filthy

[@XRPmaori]

no maoris

[@taKING82]

monty betham cant fight all show 'stick to training girls 'shane holding back hehe

Didn't maori's originate in NZ?

[@evltwin984]

Sadly

[@HangMartinBryant]

huh ?

[@efks180]

@NeehZuhn hahahaha agree with you

[@mintieez]

@DarkCeberus MONEY SHOT

[@fijianz1]

How about a rematch ?? that will be awesome...monty cant box but he is fit enough and has speed...12 rounds in the ring with a title on the line should be a ripper !!

[@maikacowan9098]

P

[@luchiboy]

Thought shane was gonna knock monty to next week. But to montys credit he upset him and did well enough. Would have like to see more attacking. It is a charity fundraising event after all!

[@davestatic3]

what was monty betham doing? there's no point telling the opposition that his punches don't hurt then throw fuck all punches back and the ones you do throw back are soft shitty ones. wendall sailor was dissapointing too, but all in all good ppv.

[@evltwin984]

BUMFIGHT

[@187prettyboy]

@z0mgrugbyreturns You obviously don't watch MMA or K-1. Anybody who does will know Mark Hunt etc

[@hiphoploveseverybody]

[@mamiChikTPO]

shot monty u da man bro

[@jonboylee1636]

Woah solid as monty betham actually both the Boyz shot Shane Cameron that's how you box no holding back first time I seen this I was like aye Monty and Shane , this should be good and it is. All day but monty though your hardcase.

[@DarkCeberus]

1:12 cheap shot

[@jaimeeleigh19]

@1funkdemus1 Agree with this comment 100% ! He did so well ! I wouldn't want to jump into a boxing ring with someone whose probably had more training and is an actual boxer ! stupit people !!!

[@Palpac]

bad form by Monty hitting on the break. He seems to slap like Calzagi did, where the power Monty.

[@mintieez]

HAHAHA MONTY U BEAST DATZ DA ONE U DAHH MANN!.WHO NEEDZ AH REF,JUZ GO 4GOLD

[@Tawhguy]

Is it me or did it look like Shane was holding back. I saw several chances where he could have easily knocked Betham out, but he didnt. Out of character for him

[@JAFAYA07]

@xpNgM4DST4 Shane Cameron won

[@alosioe8]

eh, FUAMIKI

[@nozattack]

shane should have won this by knockout monty danced around him like he was nothing and shamed the both of them no wonder why shane drop weight divisions i just dont he could handle the heavyweights
