That is exactly right. Both Kushner and Tua have to prove themselves this time. Life is ticking away.
I know Tua's practically shot but I'd have to go with him in this fight personally, much more experience and probably a better chin. Arreola isn't exactly going to outbox him is he so it's a battle of who's chin gives in first.
Arreola would get right in Tua's face and try to brawl with him, which really is Tua's best chance of winning a fight...and if he got knocked out by Arreola, at least he would really know it's time to finally call it a day. No, this seemed like an ideal opponent to take on and if Tua misses out, that would be pretty dreadful.
Damon - if he misses this one he really is gone. Pray that both Kushner and Tua actually have their act together well enough to land this fight.
