Tua said he has bulked up for this fight in anticipation of going toe to toe with King. The extra 10 pounds of weight from his last fight with Barrett is all muscle. Pictures to come.
A friend of mine who went to the weigh in said Tua looked great. And that King looked trim at 274, if that's possible. Tua wanted to bulk up as he will give less movement and more power in this one, as he won't have to go searching for King. Speed? His trainer, Chris Martin, says he's fast. We'll just have to see on fight nite. I'll get pictures for you as soon as they come in.
6'2 277 lbs Never even heard of demetrice King before. i know Tua has big debt though has to do what he can to pay people off. http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=219753&cat=boxer
Yeah, he may be listed at 6'2", but he's only an inch or two taller than Tua at 5'9". King has a record of 15-19, but has power and a chin. He has KO'd two undefeated fighters in Bowie Tupou and Bernie Stiverne. He's gone the distance with Kevin Johnson, Michael Grant, and a few other good fighters.
