Gutsy performance by Barrett as always. The best part is that I'll never have to read about Tua being a title contender EVER AGAIN!!!
Tua had him on toast,great workrate from barret early and heart he showed to get to the end of rnd12 was great!!Congrads to him!!!
sick of hearing about tua , bloke never ever put it all on the line , go the whole hog . if he had a hundredth of what smokin joe frazier had tickin under his chest tua would have won the heavyweight championship and have a couple of hundred mill in the bank , christ john [ the most limited heavyweight champ of all time ] ruiz won 3 belts cause he had a ****en go , tua never did except maybe the ikeabushi fight
Promoter said after fight that if Tua won then he woulda more then likely had shot at klitschko. Check the scene for story.
Tua did to little to late, the last round was all but his but he couldnt finish the guy off. Exciting last round other than that it was a bit of a boring fight.
It seems the hero that overstays his welcome becomes the villan!But wasn't that ibeabuchi fight a craker!:hi:
wow! the tua hate is wrong imo. just because he is far from his best doesn't mean he suddenly was never any good ffs. keyboard warriors at work again i suppose.
I find it hard to comprehend all this negativity towards Tua, he's never done any one any harm, and as far as I know has never said or done any thing worthy of him being vilified. The man has put on some great displays over the years, sure he turned out to be an underachiever, but I don't think he was entirely to blame, although he is responsible for his business decisions.
Tua came in so overweight and should call it a day if he does not want to train. Watching the fight live it was a cure for insomnia besides the last round.
Who's being a keyboard warrior? The guy was close to an undeserved shot at a title and he can't be bothered to turn up in shape.
Theres not one Australian at heavyweight that can even compete with the Tua of today! **** of with your superiority complexs, He still would **** you up and you know it.
