    Nice to see Tua is stayng busy and trying to keep his weight in check. Said he weighed in at 234 which is good for him. I hope he gets his title shot soon. Rahman is at 250 is showing how nonserious he is about his career.

    Yeah - staying busy is nice - but the level of his competition is garbage. This guy he's fighting is 8-5. Fighting like this - I'm still surprised his name is being brought up as a possible opponent for Wlad.

    Looking at it another way, Rahman is 11 pounds lighter than he was for his fight with Sykes in June.

    Rahman had said that he had come down from 300+ pounds for the Sykes fight. Ridiculous.

    I wish I could make it to the Eagle tonight but work will get in the way (Sigh)

    I don't suppose these are available to watch anywhere? even online?

    Tua and Rahman ought to fight each other; taking on a guy who's 8-5 is just ridiculous for someone of Tua's supposed calibre, and Rahman's opponent is much more respectable, having beaten Brian Nielsen (8 years ago), and lost to Valuev, Vitali Klitschko, Buster Douglas, and Shannon Briggs. I think Tua would be perhaps more eligible for a title shot if he didn't take this fight!

    A couple of set-up fights for these guys. Maybe, since they're fighting on the same card, they are angling toward matching them together soon.
