Tell me - what do you think of this matchup now? Who wins? Could it be Tua with a round 3 or 4 KO?? -I think so. A huge money fight. Bring it on!!
Yea tua would Ko him quick I think. Peter can't take bombs and tua can take anyones so I say tua inside 3.
Tuaman by early to mid round KO. He punches harder and has a better chin, plus his fundementals are better.
tua seems like the logical choice but one has to wonder how much he has left. he hasnt fought real stellar competition lately or been really hit hard in years. chins do age as well. i dont think its an open and shut case. i believe he declined a match w/brewster? Why? even though i was one of those who really overrated peter, the window isnt closed just yet. both are unknowns imo, at least as top level hws.
I think TUA takes this too...b4 McCline I was a little skeptical, but I forgot how crude and sloppy the Nigerian is/was
If Peter fight like he did this past week, Tua by KO. Not really sure how good Tua is at this point. I haven't seen him fight lately.
Well I have always been a Tua fan, but he has let me down before. That being said, in hindsight it seemed pretty premature to compare Peter to Tua and Ibeabuchi those guys would never have got dropped 3 times by McCline, they would have starched McCline.
This fight will only happen if Tua signs with King. Peter will only fight King fighters from now on... Just see how fast Arum based Rahman was moved from the fight to newly signed McCline...... Peter will probably fight Ray Austin or some other King bum in his next fight... Ohh and I think Tua could probably take out Peter inside 10 rounds, otherwise Peter wins a decision.
Peter would have to be patient and box like he did against Toney to win. Tua has a punchers chance. It would be a real tough fight either way it goes. Tua wouldn't have far to reach Peter's chin since Peter is only 6'.
Tua is a better boxer than Peter. Tua can actually hit a target. Tua has a better chin. Tua has better power. They are equally slow. The only way Peter can win this is if he can "out-stamina" Tua. Throw lots of punches and hope to get the decision. This is possible, because Tua isn't in that great of shape anymore. After staurday, I pick Tua to stop Peter.
Tua and his people should be screaming for this fight. Peter's people will avoid this fight. Peter's people should opt for the big payday and take it despite the risk. Tua KO in 4 or 5 if he comes in near 230 again.
I would like to see Tua agianst someone better than Saul Montana or Cerrone Fox in order to make judgement about his current condition. In general Tua has more skills and expirience. I am not sure what is current condition.
