    Awful choice of opponent for Tua. I watched a few rounds of that today (very boring), but Ustinov was just too big and rangy.

    I would love if Rahman won this tourney and beat Tua in a rubbermatch.

    People have long suspected Sam Peters' published age is less than his real age anyway.

    True - plus if he wins we have to listen to 2 hours of mindless banter of "Who Nesh?! WHO NECKS?!"

    Much prefer Rahman winning, judging on recent performances not too sure.

    Fairly open this. A real hit and miss type of tournament.

    Sam Peter will probably be even less coherent than we remember him. Could be a memorable victory speech all right.

    I don't think they are having trouble filling the last spots - they just want to keep it in the NZ news by announcing the remaining fighters one at a time - and letting the interest build up. Wll not surprise me at all if either tua or Cameron are the last announced.

    Won't be hard to fill when they get $30,000 just for turning up and 1st price is $200,000.

    Lucas Browne was supposed to be in it.

    Hmm...Browne? Interesting, I'd think he would be out of character for other opportunities but ya never know. I wish hed KO fury.

    Back to this tourney though - Cameron would be a dangerous mix to add in. You know Travis Walker could get in on this too even though his chin is within worst ever in HW.

    Walker is a little bit chinny, but it is mostly his lack of defensive skills that get him knocked out over and over again. But there is no doubt he can throw a punch. Knocked down Arreola, Leapai, Browne, ... managed to stun Pulev for a sec, dropped Vitali in sparring several years ago...

    The level makes it not very attractive. "Tournament of Retired" would suit it well.
