Stop talking about Tua, no one will care about him until he does something meaningful. The fact is Klitschko won every round, against a guy he didn't need to fight, it was just a routine defence I agree to a certain extent, I think he has lost quite a bit of power since coming out of retirement, although none of the last four guys he fought can be called 'chinny' fighters. He is still the 2nd best fighter in the division by a big margin and still has a couple of fights in him. Its time for Haye to put up or shut up though. If he doesn't try his hardest to fight Vitali next summer, then I will always have him down as ducking that fight
David Tua is lined up to fight Bruce Seldon in Feb, then Friday Ahunaya (???). I assume this David Tua is the same ****er who talked a load of shite before his "Fight" with Lewis, then hardly did much more than Johnson did tonight!! No offence mate and this isn't directed at you but I am ****ing sick of reading about Tua and how good he IS. He was never more than a contender who got embarrassed in his title fight. He is also 37, so how ever good he once was (And Lewis showed us just how good Tua was in his "Prime") he is a lot worse now. David is looking for one last pay-day, and so is taking easy fights which will make him look good in order to secure it. I for one don't begrudge him (Or any fighter) a good pay-day. But he is no longer a serious contender.
My thought entirely. I wish people would stop going on about Briggs, Toney and Tua until they beat a top 10 (or even 15) fighter and actually prove they are still legitimate fighters in the division.
You need to go to sleep and woke up when Solis, come in shape on the ring, o travell time sleeping and woke up by the time Tua was hungry and in His prime.
Rare is it you see a fight where 100% of the fighters focus is on defense. KJ did everything he could to avoid taking punishment. You could be the biggest puncher on Gods Green earth. But when a guy with ability, and KJ is better than some guy off the street, is dedicating his every thought to defense, you arent stopping him. Mike Tyson was taken the distance by Mitch Green, who fought to survive. Does Mike have no power?
Vitali hurt Johnson in the 12th round with a right hand and went after him but Johnson recovered. Johnson was smart to box the way he did or he would have been knocked out in this fight.
I agree with Odo. Vitaly wipes the floor with Solis. Solis is even too fat to run like Johnson, and last the distance. :rofl
It = An accumulation of damage over the duration of the fight, in a very weak era where the opposition is poor. Vitali was never a big puncher, he is a big heavy handed guy who has a high workrate and accumulates damage and wears his opponents down. He is hugely overrated H2H. Wlad would stop any version.
