The date is July 14th, OF THIS YEAR!!! Don't blame Kushner. Even though Tua said on TV he needed to fight every 6-8 weeks after the Hawkins fight, he also said that he needed to go home to his family and not fight until at least the end of June. That'll be almost 5 months! Tua says the right things, but then does something different. Now he'll need to get the ring rust out, again. My thinking is that he fights this guy, who's rarely fought outside of California, ko's him, and then gets a big fight at the end of the year.
tua should go to don king now if he really want title fight sooner than never,this people who make tua fight right now make me sick,this guy tua fight next never fight 10 round joke.:smoke
Hmmm. On the undercard? Obviously then it will be widely televised. Now THAT is probably what they have been waiting for to show some Tua destruction! Time for some TV!!
When will Tua step it up? The guy has turned down Shane Cameron and Lamon Brewster so he could fight this tomato can....if he doesn't win impressively and if he comes in overweight, I will write off Tua for good as he doesn't seem to be taking this comeback very seriously.
The big question is whether he has kept all the conditioning that got him down around 240. If he has ballooned up to 250 again it really will be a sad joke.
That's exactly the way it looks. How else can you explain the long lapses between fights and the pitiful "opposition??" This is actually a step back from Hawkins, who is a reasonably solid journeyman. This guy is nothing more than a regional tomato can who will get crushed early. How sad, frankly. If Tua moved quickly, he could really make some noise. He's just treading water - if that.
