Its a shame that Tua isn't working hard right now, he'd give Wlad problems if he wanted to, but ultimately i think both brothers would outbox him over 12 rounds.
swinging punches....was it for the fans..This guys an idiot. swinging but knockout power...Tua was careful....sized him up then took him out.... Smart n always in control.....R
Before i don't like Tua, but later on i have known him more deeper via some interview that he's a real man, a humble man and a strong man. He deserve to be a champion of the world in heavyweight division. God luck Tua man.
Tua's a nice guy, quiet, well spoken, humble. One of the hardest left hooks of all time.
Can't believe he never became champ. I remember watching him coming up in the 90's thinking he was gonna be the next Tyson. Strange how things turn out. I think he was just too short to beat Lewis. But when you consider the state of the division now, maybe it's not too late for Tua.
He had an injured shoulder weeks before the fight which required surgery. Furthermore, he is flat broke - he couldn't even afford a professional training camp. His training team has changed around so we'll see what's what next fight.
Tua has the power, no question, but I'm not sure his current promoter can get him a title shot. He may have to appeal to Don King for that to happen. Tua's comeback has lasted two years so far and still no title shot in sight under Kushner. Just more tomato can opponents.
i hope he doesn't have to go to don king. i hate when boxers i respect sell out. the fans need to speak out and speak up. the fans gotta demand a title match. tua has my support. if he get's the shot, i'm sure he'll win
Of course, but then, he should be able to since he is a professional boxer. The fact is, ever since he left Main Events he has allowed his weight to balloon to the point where it is hindering his ability in the ring. It culminated in the Lennox Lewis debacle.
I don't think that was the reason for his weight gain. A good read is "Terminated," the story of the Tua/Barry split. That gives a good insight into the Lewis fight. Of course, you don't need to be ripped like 80s Tyson to be a champion. Michael Moorer didn't have abs and did pretty good. Tua was at his best fighting weight when he fought Ike Ibeabucchi in my opinion.

People may not know this but Bolo means testicles in Samoan.
So... Tua being a Samoan interviewed Bolo Punch is pretty funny. Low blow! Low Blow!

I think he deserves it as well. His left hook is one of the best in history and he has a heart like a lion.
O for O-Some. :o)

I don't think he's very risky anymore, his performance against Barrett wasn't so good, Barrett hasn't looked good in a while either.

Tua looks to be in the best shape I've seen him in years. I hope he wins a title before he retires!

I'd never heard Tua interviewed. Very contained, thoughtful and articulate. Sounds like a great guy. Can't say I liked the interviewer.

He wasnt fat in that fight, his management made him put on muscle to make up for his height disadvantage which I thought was a bad move.

If you equate ripped muscles and abs to fighting ability and punching power, your ignorant. Check Mark Hunt vs Jerome LeBanner.
