timmo hoffman is 6 foot 7 and friday is only 6 feet tall............... timmo lost a 12 rd dec to francois botha last yr..............it it would emmulate a vitali or a wlad more so then a friday./..............would luv too see a tua vs vitali .................or tua wlad.........tuas younger than vitali and maybe wlad at age 34 is on the decline......then again maybe not..
Friday will hand Tua a loss... Tua is talking about 3 fights coming up, and Friday being just one of them, Friday is just loking at Tua.. and he is keeping his eye on the ball.. Tua is underestimating us.. Tua is a KO expert, and Friday hasn't ever even been on the floor.. Tua is gonna get dillusioned and outboxed.. its not 1997 now its 2009 and Friday has just beat 2 unbeaten fighters. Tua had better wish he was in against a wooden block like Hoffman..
bigcat u know ur stuff........................but tua will knock out friday........fridays no young man himself
You're correct with time not being on his side, but a lackluster heavyweight divison IS on his side. 50% of Tua at his prime will be competitive for a abc title at this point.
Timo is washed up and wouldn't prove much though he could better prepare Tua for the Klitschkos. Ahunanya is not an easy fight. Tough guy with a great chin and decent power.
Exactly. It's a good match-up for Tua. Friday will give him some much needed rounds, and won't go away easily. It'll be his toughest fight since Rahman in 2003. Tua will have almost a 12 week training camp, with Bloodworth coming over in January. Look for Tua to be focussed and conditioned. Tua fighting Hoffman means nothing regarding the Klits. The Klits are 4 fights away. Tua has three "local" fights with Maori TV against journeymen, an eliminator, and then a Klit.
If Cameron could hit Friday,Tua can do it....only Tua is an expert with natural power driven by a renewed commitment to take one fight at a time, and Friday would have to be at his absolute best and outbox:bbb:bbb Tua from long range. Great fight on paper. I expect to see a fast and furious 4 rounds before its all over. Friday has a great jaw. Tua has a better one. Its the power that will decide this fight. You can bet on it. A knockout artist against a fine journeyman......is going to be a *******!:thumbsup
