    Tua was doing well against the "tune-ups". Now he just up and
    takes 5 months off. Turns down a Brewster bout just when his
    conditioning is looking better. What gives??

    Anyone have any decent idea who might be in the pipeline in
    July for a Tua fight?

    Any rumors out there?

    All quiet on the Tua front as far as I know. I haven't heard anything. He should get busy.

    That's funny. :D Unfortunately, it's also consistent with Tua's recent pattern.

    I've always liked Tua, and always wanted him to do well, but like most fans, I've been very disappointed with his comeback. He's just treaded water - and at a very slow pace, too. He needs to step it up, ASAP and make a move. A title would be there for the taking if he worked himself into shape and fought more frequently.

    Compare Tua with Holyfield... who now looks to fight for a belt.
    Tua surely could be right there by now doing the same thing.
    Totally cannot understand a 5 month layoff at this point.

    And still no announcement.

    What is Kushner (his promoter) doing?

    I remember he was going to fight Briggs over a year ago then backed out saying he needed like 14 more tuneups or around that number.

    Tua got worked over by Barry etc.


    And I think he's picked a very poor promoter this time too.

    After his second to last fight, both Tua and his trainer were saying they'd fight every month. Kushner, sounded like twice a year, and trying to tee upa title shot on Tuas name would be enough.

    The language both Tua and Bloodworth used, it was obvious there had been disagreements about this.....
