Boxing: Four minutes and it's over for Cameron

It was a crying Shane.

Television viewers who forked out $40 for the Fight of the Century; the wealthy businessmen who paid $15,000 for a ringside table at Hamilton's Mystery Creek, the celebs in their new frocks on the red carpet - they trundled off to bed, their champagne barely touched.

David Tua unleashed an uncompromising power-punching assault to knock out Shane Cameron inside four minutes.

Tua, asked what the future held for him, retorted: "Go to Burger King and have a sleep."

He has now proved he means business as he attempts a comeback to big-time boxing. The future doesn't look so bright for Cameron, whose hopes of earning a world title fight are now almost certainly dashed.
