Temuera Morrison is known for playing iconic tough guy 'Jake the Muss' in Once Were Warriors back in the early 1990's, he is stepping into the ring for real as part of the under-card for Joseph Parker and say's he isn't the fighter Jake was.

New Zealand Professional Boxing Association president Lance Revill is prepared to strip Sonny Bill Williams of his New Zealand heavyweight title if he doesn't accept an invitation to fight the winner of Thursday's Joseph Parker v Afa Tatupu fight within six months but is prepared to enter into negotiations to delay the challenge. Promoter Dean Lonergan, of Duco Events, has challenged Williams' manager Khoder Nasser to accept a showdown between Parker or Tatupu, the current holder of the New Zealand National Boxing Federation title, with a $1.3 million winner-takes-all prize.

Grant Dalton and Dean Barker reflect upon when they realised that the America's Cup was lost to Oracle and why they were beaten after such a promising start to the finals.

The America's Cup remains in the USA, Oracle Team USA have sportingly praised the fantastic effort and challenge from Dean Barker and Team NZ.

Fans & supporters turned out in numbers everyday at Auckland's waterfront, Shed 10. The emotion & faith was always strong, watching, waiting but to no avail. Oracle clenching the win in race 19 of the 34th America's Cup.

"It's very hard to swallow." The first words from losing Emirates Team New Zealand skipper Dean Barker, coupled with his ashen face, showed the pain of top level international sport. Barker and Grant Dalton reflect on the last three years and today's disappointment. courtesy America's Cup.

Team NZ can still win the Cup. They still need the same recipe - and are still perfectly capable of following it: predict the weather perfectly, mode the boat perfectly, win the start, be first to the bottom mark, cover the opposition's every move, sail perfectly. That's a lot of "perfectlys" but this is a team capable of perfection. But that one race is proving chillingly elusive.

Team NZ is fighting for its very existence after this morning's disastrous losses to Oracle, speaking at the post-race press conference skipper Dean Barker vows 'We will fight to the end'.

Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill has made millions of believers in his America's Cup comeback, he is full of confidence for the final race Wednesday 'bring on tomorrow ' he says 'I wouldn't want to be anywhere else'.

Team NZ still need that one precious race win, while Oracle now need three to successfully defend the America's Cup. Skippers Barker and Spithill are both confident that the America's Cup will be theirs.

The All Blacks have arrived in Argentina keen to keep their unbeaten record against the Pumas intact, and also see the tourist sights before facing the stern challenge from the home team.

OTUSA have now won the last four races to be sailed in a row. Team NZ were leading the last three races to be called off. Oracle's downwind and reaching speed became starkly clear. They have a faster boat downwind and, as there are two downwind legs, their advantage by a couple of knots is significant.

At the post race press conference, it was an audible murmur of disapproval that accompanied the NZ journalist question comparing past All Black failures at World Cups to a possible Team NZ loss at the America's Cup.

Fans & supporters are not losing the faith after Team NZ were defeated in two races in a row to take Oracle 5-8 as we move to race 16 & 17 on the 17th day of the 34 America's Cup, the longest in the history for a team to claim the auld mug.

Team NZ fans & supporters were once again disappointed after racing was postponed due to weather conditions. The faithful stay strong and amidst the disappointment and frustration, most feel it only delays the inevitable and tomorrow could bring a promising result.

Auckland's Waterfront Shed 10 & the Cloud were both filled to capacity this morning but, the hopes of joy soon faded into frustration. Supporters and fans remain faithful, they will be back at sunrise for what hopes to be history in the making.

The America's Cup skippers Barker and Spithill give their reaction to Oracle dodging a bullet and Team NZ yet again failing to win that final race to claim the Cup. Spithill also explains the history of rivalry between Australia and New Zealand.

Dean Barker and Jimmy Spithill square off in the post race media session re changing the America's Cup rules and the momentum of an Oracle come back. There will be no panic in the Kiwi camp - they still hold a 8-2 lead in the series and have immense confidence in their boat. But that will be of little consolation to impatient New Zealand fans eager to kick off celebrations.

Shed 10 on Auckland's waterfront was once again packed to the rim with Team NZ's supporters. Auckland Supercity Mayor, Len Brown was amongst the crowd enjoying the spectacular racing. He is calling for the people of Tamaki Makaurau/ Auckland to come down to Shed 10 for what we hope will be the final winning race to bring the cup home.
