heres how i would compare that ..with my own analogy after a guy spends a few grand over a month trying trying to impress a woman and get laid..he gets dumped out of the blue after a big money spending vegas weekend with her, his friends rag him and he says "at least i got to suck her tits" :rofl youre a huge tua fan...obviously...but i would be embarrassed to have mentionied 1 brief moment in a 12 round fight when hes all flabby lookin after the a "great training camp" :huh
When I saw that this topic went an extended number of pages I figured someone brought up the possibility of Tua still beating one of the Klitschko's. Did not read this entire thread but Tua's camp supposidly had an offer to fight Vitaly if he won.
Is there any confirmation that Barrett's jaw is broken? Any word from Barrett? The only place I can seem to find anything about this is quotes in various stories from Cedric Kushner. Far be it from me to question The Walrus - but that sounds just like something a promoter trying to keep a fighters career alive might come up with. EDIT: Confirmed Monte's jaw is broken, and wired shut. Props to him for getting up.
Yep - first six rounds were terrible for Tua. It was like he was asleep. And fat. But when he awoke he really started throwing more and more HUGE bombs. Maybe you guys are right - maybe it is all over. But it sure didn't look it in those last rounds. I don't know how Barrett survived.
Tua's best performance was against crazy Ike. He has never shown any sort of decent stamina since and basically wasted his career eating cheeseburgers. I am a great fan of his but you have to be objective. He had a shot at china chin if he won and he came in at 244 and did nothin for the first half of the fight.
