My guess is that his promoter, Inga, didn't call it in to any boxing website.

 

Earl: funnily enough, Burger King is one of his sponsors. No foolin'.

 

Did that start before or after his infamous "I'm going to Burger King and then taking a nap" line during the in-ring interview after he KO'ed Cameron?

 

:nono

Nice looking place but holds only 3k.

Demetrice King: W15 (KO 13)+L19 (KO 2)=34. Lost 4 of his last five. 6′ 2″, weighed 277 in last bout.

:think

 

Tua is making this a low key affair for several reasons. He wants to test his shoulder to make sure it's ok in a boxing match, and he wants to finish his restricive MTV contract, with this being the third and final fight. He's fighting in his backyard, as Tua lives down the road from the Pacific Events Centre. The prices are ridiculously low, and he wants Pacific Island, primarily Samoans, to support it. His undercard features Maselino Masoe, a former world champ, on the undercard, as well as up and coming Samoans. He's fighting Demetrice King because he's tough and comes forward. And he's also very beatable. Tua's next fight is in June against a credible opponent.

 

King is a lot like Tua. Short arms, tons of power, great chin, really low workrate. His stamina really stinks though, and he's quit after 8 rounds before just because he got too gassed. Only guy to actually knock him out was Shannon Briggs, and he took a lot of damage before getting KOed. He's also knocked out a few hype job types, like Bowie Tupou and Bermain Stiverne. I suspect Tua will pull this one out, but it shouldn't be a foregone conclusion. If Monte Barrett can put him on ***** street, King punches a hell of a lot harder than Barrett.

 

I thought he had a rematch scheduled with Barrett?

 

Hope Two Gunz knocks him out should there ever be a rematch. Big up Two Gunz!

 

Would love to see him and James Toney go at it and might as well an ESPN Friday Night Fights:good

 

They were supposed to fight in separate fights in Aruba in December, but it was cancelled.
