Tua better not walk in to punches to the face - like at 1:58 - in a real fight with someone throwing with bad intentions. That should have been a duck or slip by him, not a faceplant on the glove. No matter how hard a puncher he is, he'll lose quick if tries to fight with his face leading the way like that.
ive been watching boxing for a very long time and i can tell when a fighter is shot. you still got a few good years left man and if you dont start so late in your fights you can overwhelm these bums and get those kos early like your famous for. monte barret is a prime example of starting to late!! let your hands go and get at him. the only reason you lost is because you let him pile up rounds bro! when you put pressure on him he had nothing!!!
Tua was offered a title shot for 400,000 in December but they turned it down because apparently Tua owes IRD 2,000,000 million in tax money....you cant pay it off with 4 hundred thousand. thats called Bankrupt.
He got knocked out by Felix Savon......badly. He also never faced the toughest opponents. By the time he came into Boxing, the Heavyweight Division was no good anymore. He'll never be a champion.
@khalsasikh Tua has never been knocked out in his 50 pro fight career. All others have been KOd including Mike Tyson, Klitchko's, Lewis. Tua got IRON JAW.
man muj respect to my uso tua but the fight today was his first knockdown ever in his boxing career but he drew against monte barrett was a good fight but hope the uso gets fitter for next fight
@llevijr well to be fair to barrett,he did publicly say he was retiring after the tua fight and if tua can't beat barrett,then he's finished,he already turned down wlad for the dec 11 fight so that says it all for tua
@llevijr mate, he dropped tua and should've won...i thought david was back, but after that dissapointing performance against barrett he can just forget it, if he can't beat barrett what chance does he have of beating the klitschko brothers? but don't worry we gotta new star on the rise, joseph parker who is also samoan and has the tools to be better than tua.
@sssbbbwww30 Tua sustained a shoulder injury during training, he also has the IRD chasing after another 2million dollars..after the court battle with Kevin Barry.. and parker wont go heavy weight. most likely cruiser weight. he doesnt look like a future heavy weight.
@sssbbbwww30 barrett mentality before fighting tua was "im going to retire with a bang"....well that mentality is out the door now. if he had kept that mentality vs Haye then he wouldve not just knocked Haye down but also knocked him out.
@llevijr why didn't tua beat or knockout barrett? you can't use an injury as an exuse,if tua doe's have a title fight i hope he doesn't perform the way he did against barrett...BUT......tua has the power to knockout any heavyweight in the world...so i'll support him if he does and hopefully get's another title shot.
@kiwiandwhat Yeah Lucas. Be interesting to see how his world title fight goes. Big Daddy I hope. Fob caught him alright! i thought it might be over but Big got up. His right cross is devastating.
@kiwiandwhat huh you said your the street fighter not me....i think you need medication as your going back on what you said...you said "street fighters would kill any mma fighter no rules" ..remember?...fuckin muppet..and who said i was white...your a fucking clueless muppet
@kiwiandwhat i never said anything about mma fighters or boxers...i said this wasn;t street fighting...fact is street fighters wouldnt even last 5 minutes of training with a boxer or an mma fighter...the only try hard here is you... street fighters are gutless..they throw a punch and run or pick on someone half there weight...a real man fights in the ring..something you need to learn boy!
@kiwiandwhat yeah ..you should understand that idiot comments come back to haunt you....muppet..."fuck mma we kill them on the street" your an idiot if you think that son
Its a fire within...in life we face a lot of challenges...get up and have a another go.....you gotta look deep within yourself .....the only one who can answer them is yourself
I like Tua's style of fighting, he owned Friday and Fridays manager cracks me up lol he looks like a pro wrestlers manager! Bloodworth looks like he's got an iron chin or jaw or nose or something lol
i wish he would kill all u mma pussies shut up muay thai and jiujitsu chumps up it simple avoid takedowns you will make a jiujitsu expert a bitch i promise what u mma pussies dont see is that tua doesn't need ground game or elbows or cheezy leg kicks he one punch thats it
friday seems to be a nice humble man n i like that.His trainer on the other hand needs to be strapped up n ready to jump inda ring with Tua n get his contract tuaminated hahaha woda laugh that'l be.
i believe that tua would be a great challenge against my favorite fighter mike tyson. only because his skills are good enough and he can take a punch and can definately give. tua and tyson are the shit! my top 2 favorites
headbutt and holding tactics?? lol tyson was known for elbowing,hitting on the break & after the bell, & while opponents where down, not 2 mention trying 2 break opponents arms when he was losing! holyfield beat him coz he was the better fighter on the night
my money would be on the holyfield who beat bowe,beat foreman,beat douglas, not the tyson who looked great against mediocre fighters he could intimidate but always struggled (or lost) against guys who stood up to him & attacked him
tyson didnt fight medioncre fighters. he fought fighters that were good but now known. because at that time the heavyweights werent very popular. until he came around. i can give you names of fighters that were really good before he started going down hill. his prime was between 85- 90
tyson in 1988 would beat the holyfield that turned heavyweight after the braxton fight but that was the only time tyson had a good chance to beat holyfield who hadn't juiced up yet but was in the process.I believe tyson would turn it into a war and that holyfield wasn't well rounded yet.Tyson needed to follow the damato style and Damato,Atlas and Rooney were all the best for this particular style.The others were shit for his unique peekaboo style.
@fadethetrade i believe both holyfield AND tyson took steroids during thier careers, theres no conclusive proof either way, but there has always been talk of tyson being on steroids as well as holyfield- so it wouldve been a fair fight since they were both juicing lol
but i agree with u, when holyfield 1st moved up 2 heavyweight tyson wouldve probably overwhelmed him, but holyfield reached his peak 2 or 3 years later, that holyfield wouldve beaten tyson, in my opinion
I believe we missed a great ali/frazier like battle with tyson/holy in 92 ,if it happenned!Even ferdie pacheco said this.Tyson still had enough in technique ,speed and power and timing and holy didnt have the head butt holding tactics yet so it would have been pure war mentality and holy was still not well rooted enough yet in 92.His juicing was in full force.Tyson didnt need to juice up between 85-88.I would still put my money on mike against the same holy who almost got ko'd by Cooper.
dmato died & tyson fired rooney- so what? all fighters change trainers & lose loved ones, they dont use that as an excuse 4 thier losses!
is tysons memory so bad that he forgot everything he was taught as soon as he left rooney? if tysons skills deteriorated it was his own fault & nobody elses, just like its tuas fault 4 being overweight
rooney wasnt a great trainer anyway, what other good fighters has he had?? dmato had torres patterson & tyson, & rooney only had tyson coz of cus!
In this video, Tua proves he is good puncher, he has got power punching, though if you have a look in his defense, it is very vulnerable and i wouldn´t like Tua would lose by points of this way.
I hope Tua knocks Friday out soon, and we can see Tua fighting for a world championship again.
@HatmanTV tyson in 1986 was a better fighter then any year tua.Tua had problems with fighters tyson would have taken apart especially the tall boxers.
i didnt say tua was a better fighter,i said tua could do things that tyson couldnt...tyson was faster & more dynamic yes, but tua has better stamina than tyson ever had, better work rate & more heart.. in tysons whole career he only scored 1 ko past the 7th round, thats despite going past the 7th 9 times
tysons power would fade in fights, if u get past the 7th with a prime tyson he aint gonna knock u out, where as tua has scored numerous late round ko's
@HatmanTV When most people remember tyson,they judge him as a whole areer and those 3 loses always fade our memories of when he truly did fight differently in 1986 then any year after.He was a total fighter who outpointed good boxers as good as douglas. Tua lacks a boxers ability to box with tall boxers.Tyson learned how to jab with jabbers.Tua didn't have a better jab then tyson from 86 and that gave tyson the advantage against boxers.tyson after 88,all bets are off.
@HatmanTV the tucker that ko'd douglas could easily outpoint tua.Tillis,the day he took tyson 10 rounds could have easily outpointed tua.The razor Ruddock that hit tyuson with 19 rounds of left smashes could have stopped Tua,He would have landed that smash all night on tua.
i agree that tucker couldve outpointed tua, but tua wouldve beaten tillis & ruddock ruddock was floored badly by an over the hill boncrusher smith,& stopped by journeyman david jaco b4 the tyson fight-yet somehow u think he would ko tua? no way! tua went toe 2 toe with ike ibeabuchi, who was way better than ruddock,they set a record for most punches ever thrown in a 12 round heavyweight fight that night!
Infact ibeabuchi was better than anyone tyson ever beat,& i would picked him 2 beat tyson
@fadethetrade tyson does better against tall boxers than tua, tucker would beat tua, but tua does better against guys who stand and fight- tua wouldnt have been stopped by douglas or holyfield, he might not have beaten them, but he wouldnt have been stopped, & tua would destroy ruddock, ruddock is taylor made 4 tua, stands right infront of u, dont use a jab, gets tired early, throws big swings, no way on earth razor could beat tua, tua would ko him
when he fought holyfield, holyfield was more past his best than tyson was so u cant use tyson being past his best as an excuse
also bare in mind tyson & holyfield sparred in the olympic trials, tyson was 20lbs heavier than holyfield at that time (holyfield was a light heavyweight then & was only 6feet tall at the time) yet holyfield gave as good as he got despite giving away so much in size
in my opinion i think holyfield always had tysons number,he wouldve beaten him in his prime
tyson was created with a science of boxing.He never reached his full potential as a damato style.Had he done that,he would be much better overall then Tua.Tua was too crude,not enough science to his style.His chin saved him from losing 10 times.
@fadethetrade i think tyson was better overall than tua, at his peak, because he was faster on his feet & able 2 get inside very quick
BUT as i keep saying, tua had certain strengths tyson didnt have, so he wouldve done better against some of the guys who beat tyson or gave him trouble
tua didnt just have a better chin, he also had more heart, better stamina & workrate (he was in 2 fights which broke the all time record 4 punches thrown)
@fadethetrade & as far as tyson not reaching his potential- niether did tua! tuas been overweight 4 most of his career!
lewis fought a washed up tyson, so i cant say if lewis wouldve been able 2 handle a prime tyson
but douglas (who was 29 at the time with several losses) beat a 23yr old undefeated tyson, & holyfield (who was 34 coming back from a ko loss 2 bowe & a heart scare) beat a 30yr old tyson who was world champion with only 1 loss
but 2 be fair,4 all i know tua may have other sparring partners who do move,they just didnt show them in this video,but 4 me personaly id like 2 see him spar a guy who moves so i can feel more confident that tua is prepared
but the weight gain there is no excuse 4,he shouldnt be blowing up like that between fights,especially at his age,i know he loves burger king (dont we all?? lol) but he needs 2 have the dicipline 2 stay away,so when his next fight comes he doesnt have 2 lose so much weight
& as for tuas weight, the guy is 5'10", there is no reason at all 4 him to weigh more than 230lbs for any fight, regardless the opponent
when he fought ruiz he was around 225 i believe & still had the foot speed 2 leap in & catch ruiz from the outside with a terrific left hook
& he needs 2 stop balooning up between fights
i say all this because i want tua to be champion,he's the most exiting heavyweight since tyson, & this is his last chance so he has 2 do things the right way this time
the reason i say that is because tua has always had trouble with guys who know how 2 move & box at long range, even in some fights he's won he's been getting outboxed & is behind on the cards before managing 2 pull out a win very late on, so in this comeback i'd like 2 see him doing more 2 rectify that problem
im not sure if ahunanya is dumb enough 2 go 2 toe with tua or lay on the ropes like he did with cameron, i suspect he will move alot & use the jab
the power & hand speed is still there, clearly! would like 2 see him sparring guys who moves more though, coz nobody is gonna stand infront of him & go toe 2 toe (this guy only survived coz of the big 18oz gloves & facesaver head gear) he needs more practice against guys who move, coz thats what most his opponents are likely 2 do, & the klitschkos, & even ahunanya have better movement & ring inteligence than shame cameron lol
so he needs 2 drop down to 230 at the most & work on movement
Tua better not walk in to punches to the face - like at 1:58 - in a real fight with someone throwing with bad intentions. That should have been a duck or slip by him, not a faceplant on the glove. No matter how hard a puncher he is, he'll lose quick if tries to fight with his face leading the way like that.

i agree that tucker couldve outpointed tua, but tua wouldve beaten tillis & ruddock ruddock was floored badly by an over the hill boncrusher smith,& stopped by journeyman david jaco b4 the tyson fight-yet somehow u think he would ko tua? no way! tua went toe 2 toe with ike ibeabuchi, who was way better than ruddock,they set a record for most punches ever thrown in a 12 round heavyweight fight that night!
Infact ibeabuchi was better than anyone tyson ever beat,& i would picked him 2 beat tyson

@fadethetrade tyson does better against tall boxers than tua, tucker would beat tua, but tua does better against guys who stand and fight- tua wouldnt have been stopped by douglas or holyfield, he might not have beaten them, but he wouldnt have been stopped, & tua would destroy ruddock, ruddock is taylor made 4 tua, stands right infront of u, dont use a jab, gets tired early, throws big swings, no way on earth razor could beat tua, tua would ko him

tyson wouldn't get ko'd by douglas ,lewis, or holyfield had it been a 1986 tyson.

when he fought holyfield, holyfield was more past his best than tyson was so u cant use tyson being past his best as an excuse
also bare in mind tyson & holyfield sparred in the olympic trials, tyson was 20lbs heavier than holyfield at that time (holyfield was a light heavyweight then & was only 6feet tall at the time) yet holyfield gave as good as he got despite giving away so much in size
in my opinion i think holyfield always had tysons number,he wouldve beaten him in his prime

tyson was created with a science of boxing.He never reached his full potential as a damato style.Had he done that,he would be much better overall then Tua.Tua was too crude,not enough science to his style.His chin saved him from losing 10 times.
fadethetrade 2 years ago
@fadethetrade i think tyson was better overall than tua, at his peak, because he was faster on his feet & able 2 get inside very quick
BUT as i keep saying, tua had certain strengths tyson didnt have, so he wouldve done better against some of the guys who beat tyson or gave him trouble
tua didnt just have a better chin, he also had more heart, better stamina & workrate (he was in 2 fights which broke the all time record 4 punches thrown)
but due 2 his slow feet he can be outboxed

@fadethetrade & as far as tyson not reaching his potential- niether did tua! tuas been overweight 4 most of his career!
lewis fought a washed up tyson, so i cant say if lewis wouldve been able 2 handle a prime tyson
but douglas (who was 29 at the time with several losses) beat a 23yr old undefeated tyson, & holyfield (who was 34 coming back from a ko loss 2 bowe & a heart scare) beat a 30yr old tyson who was world champion with only 1 loss
so we cant make excuses 4 tyson

but 2 be fair,4 all i know tua may have other sparring partners who do move,they just didnt show them in this video,but 4 me personaly id like 2 see him spar a guy who moves so i can feel more confident that tua is prepared
but the weight gain there is no excuse 4,he shouldnt be blowing up like that between fights,especially at his age,i know he loves burger king (dont we all?? lol) but he needs 2 have the dicipline 2 stay away,so when his next fight comes he doesnt have 2 lose so much weight
HatmanTV 2 years ago
& as for tuas weight, the guy is 5'10", there is no reason at all 4 him to weigh more than 230lbs for any fight, regardless the opponent
when he fought ruiz he was around 225 i believe & still had the foot speed 2 leap in & catch ruiz from the outside with a terrific left hook
& he needs 2 stop balooning up between fights
i say all this because i want tua to be champion,he's the most exiting heavyweight since tyson, & this is his last chance so he has 2 do things the right way this time

@vaea46
the reason i say that is because tua has always had trouble with guys who know how 2 move & box at long range, even in some fights he's won he's been getting outboxed & is behind on the cards before managing 2 pull out a win very late on, so in this comeback i'd like 2 see him doing more 2 rectify that problem
im not sure if ahunanya is dumb enough 2 go 2 toe with tua or lay on the ropes like he did with cameron, i suspect he will move alot & use the jab

Tua looks like he's got a good sparring partner. That helps immensely with preparation.

jwhitdatman27 2 years ago
the power & hand speed is still there, clearly! would like 2 see him sparring guys who moves more though, coz nobody is gonna stand infront of him & go toe 2 toe (this guy only survived coz of the big 18oz gloves & facesaver head gear) he needs more practice against guys who move, coz thats what most his opponents are likely 2 do, & the klitschkos, & even ahunanya have better movement & ring inteligence than shame cameron lol
so he needs 2 drop down to 230 at the most & work on movement

He should fight James Toney. James says he's the best and he dont have anyone to fight same as Tua

looks quite impressive in sparring, glad to see that...his handlers are obviously happy with him too, which is why they invited the media 2 film it
still got the power, plus come decent speed & nice movement, by the time he's in fighting shape he should be pretty formidable
