David Tua v Alexander Ustinov

On the New Zealand telecast, they are showing the Cameron-Tua fight now.

 

Let's go TUAMAN!

 

I know Utinov is 6'8. I was talking about how Pulev was about the same size as Ustinov unlike Tua.

I don't think it is a foregone conclusion Ustinov wins. He is an average fighter with questionable heart. Tua is literally hungry as he is broke and if he wins this fight probably gets a crack at Klitschko. The rest might be a good thing for Tua.

Of course Tua might be completely shot in which case Ustinov will beat him. I don't see it, Tua isn't to the point of James Toney yet. If people go off of the Monte Barrett fight, Barrett is a different stylistic matchup than Ustinov. Barrett is low volume but he is not easy to clip or discourage. Ustinov has already shown he will quit when TSHF. If Tua has his power, he should win IMO.

Also this fight is taking place in NZ, a close decision goes Tua's way too.

 

Is Dave broke by boxer standards or by regular people standards ?
Cause I have seen him driving around with a Bentley

 

Tua looked good at the weigh-in, but how much did he lose after all these years?

 

Relative to Tua it is.

 

Darchinyan is insane. A Taylor jab would wobble his ass but I can bet you he would still take the fight.

My only point was the size disparity wasn't as big between Pulev and Ustinov than Tua and Ustinov. That could give Tua problems. I still don't see Ustinov being skilled, he is just a huge human being.

 

I hope that he's just a really humble guy who has lived well beneath his means and not a freakin' idiot who blew through millions of dollars in a couple of years. I'm still rooting for him, but it'll be much easier to do so if he's the former rather than the latter.

 

:rofl

still want to believe in these fairy tale endings?

i told you so

 

dummy

just like all the other guys who predicted Tua by KO because they remember him demolishing john ruiz 16 years ago...or the most likely scenrio they remember him demolishing john ruiz on youtube a week ago and thinking he does that in all his fights.
you noobs have much to learn when predicting these stupid outcomes :rofl

 

Lol. Harsh but true. Tua fanboys are the worst....

 

just keeping it real

"if tua comes in shape, he will KO ustinov"

tua weighs in the lowest he has in 15 years

"tua by KO!!"

ummm no
