    On paper it looks like a winnable fight for Quarry. But I’m not sure if he can stay out of trouble for an entire evening without taking some serious damage from those left hooks of Tua’s. That and Tua had an iron chin so a KO win for Quarry is highly unlikely

    I think Quarry s winning till he isn't.
    Tua finally gets him, behind on the cards.

    On paper Tua should win.

    But on paper (and H2H hype) Tua should have retired undefeated. He didn’t and I saw him troubled by a multitude of different styles even in fights he won. For all his power and great chin he was relatively easy to outbox. Quarry definitely has a chance to outbox Tua as well. Power didn’t really bother Jerry too much. Skills did which is something Tua lacks. He was a one trick pony.

    Quarry was cagey enough to survive an early blitz .. I see him winning a decision ... the only Tua that beats him in my opinion is the one that fought the bout of his career against Ike, a fight that I feel he actually won by a shade ..
