yeah i think the same, everyone thinks, one hard punch and wlad goes to sleep, haha you need a good combination of three punches to hurt wlad for real. if tua lands a left hook, straight right and left hook again, the wlad could go down...
Give the size difference and all, it'd be interesting to see how Wlad takes one of Tuas left hooks flush to the ribs. Or his straight right to the solar plexus.
Or to see Tua eating Wlad jabs all night. I mean the guy is too short. He would be in his prime it would be different. But right now it is unfair for Tua.
Co-signed. Wlad isn't going to get knocked out cold by a single punch. He doesn't like getting punched, that's for sure, but he has taken hard single shots in the past - for example the left hook from Peter at the end of the 3rd. Of course Tua could put Wlad down if he lands a clear combination on Wlad's chin, but who wouldn't?
Remember Tua landed on Lewis? Nothing happened. "oh, but it was not flush :|" You want the opponent to let him punch him?
Yes. Tua fouled (pushed) him and he lay down in silent protest. Why do do think they call him "The Quiet Man"?
Agreed, as much as i want to see how wlad reacts to a few Tua wrecking balls i dont think this fight will play out like majority of us think......i like david tua but hes long past his prime
you need one punch to have wladimir in trouble,once he's in trouble, he's not that hard to keep on landing because his footwork and defense goes out the window. that's why most of the fights he's been hurt in he's either lost or had multiple knockdowns in those fights.
