    Judging by Tua's previous efforts against Lewis and Bryd.......I would say highly unlikely that Tua would connect especially as it took 24 rounds to connect with Barrett and Tua didn't manage to "connect" with journeymen Friday Ahunanya or Demetrice King either.

    If Tua could not connect with a KO blow against the the likes of Barrett,Ahunanya and King in a total of 48 rounds then the chances of Tua connecting in just 12 rounds against Wlad are "Slim & None"......and slims out of town!;)

    If the Tua from the last 3 rounds of the Barrett fight shows up,
    Wlad is going to hospital

    If it is just the fat plodder, Wlad wins hands down

    Maybe Tua never gets the chance. But maybe he will.

    Tua loses his fights in the gym now. Look at the spare tire around his gut. This was a revenge fight...a big fight for Tua...and he comes in fat! Hang it up man, if you can't take it seriously anymore.

    He could KO Wlad if he landed clean, but I don't think he would ever get the chance. He does not want to take the big shots on the way to getting inside. The few clean power shots he landed on Lewis were leaping hooks. I don't think he could pull that off now.

    Yeah - but what if he did?

    Leaping hooks is what he used on Barrett. There is almost no defense against them if they are done right.

    No he won't get the chance........losing to Barrett has seriously damaged what little stock Tua had left.

    There is no chance that Wlad or Vitali want to face anyone in the ring that has lost to a 40 year old Barrett.
    It would be a "no win" fight for the K bros.

    If they beat Tua,which would be by far the most likely outcome.....they would be criticised for taking on a shot fighter would could not beat Barrett in 2 fights.

    If they lost........then they would be ridiculed by being beaten by a boxer that had been beaten by 40 year old veteran Barrett.

    Hell is more likely to freeze over now rather than Tua getting a shot at Wlad.;)

    True - unless Tua beats say, Meehan, Rahman, Arreola kind of guys.

    Then he may be in with a shot. We will see.

    It all comes down to this- If Tua wants to continue with any kind of success, he has to push himself away from the buffet table.

    Watch it again and this time wear glasses. Bryd outbox Tua but didnt beay Tua easily. And even though Tua weigh 233 pound, thats not tua's weight at all. And if you watch tua fights vs ruiz, first rahman fight, maskaev fights in which all by tko/ko then youll know.

    Hehe. Could happen!!!

    But maybe you guys are all correct and it is all over for Tua.

    When I watch the video, though, I can't help feeling he still has something left. I don't know if there are many heavyweights that could have broken Barrett's jaw like that. Do you??

    We may have a difference on how easily Bryd beat Tua.....but really what's the point of this discussion...... Tua never looked close to beating Bryd.....end of story really.;)
