    It's official. Only Povetkin ahead of Tua now - between him and Wlad. If Povetkin avoids Wlad then Tua may get a shot.

    Official rankings-

    Somebody in WBO wants this fight to happen.

    Tua vs. Wlad. One shot to the head is all it takes????

    Sad to see how ratings are bought these days, Tua in no way deserves to be rated so high. If Wlad can't lock up a fight with Haye or Povetkin in the coming weeks, I guess we could very well see Tua get his ass handed to him and be finished for good in the fall.

    Hmmmm. Guess you haven't been watching Tua closely

    But I agree - he should really fight an Arreola or Peter or such before Wlad.

    I see Tua diving head first into the turnbuckle again. Wlad by embarrassingly wide UD.

    One shot to the head is all it takes

    And Tua has been showing a lot more movement recently

    His old power is still there

    Friday is simply a guy who goes 12 rounds and knows how to survive

    He has done it many times with high level opponents

    Let us see who Tua meets next

    Last I checked Tua was #3, behind Chambers. Wasn't it sort of expected that this would happen once they re-ranked and bumped Chambers down for his loss?

    Barney Rubble was a technical draw though, nothing he can really do about that.

    And he went the distance with Povetkin!!!


    Although that was a six round fight ...
