Fight for Life : Wairangi Koopu v Matua Parkinson

The second fight at the 2011 Fight for Life between Wairangi Koopu and Matua Parkinson was put on hold at the beginning with Koopu having his own “Sonny Bill Williams” moment.

Koopu used his reach and straight punch to pick Parkinson off and was content to do that until late in the second round where he rocked the rugby player with a bevy of punches.

Koopu started the final round just as he had finished the previous, attacking Parkinson and forcing him to hang on and struggle to keep his feet.

Koopu won the fight. Watch the video for the fight.
