    Great news.

    Judging from Barrets last fight, he will get destroyed quickly, but you never really know with that guy

    Judging by Tuas first fight with Barrett, he also has a glass jaw.

    Barrett will KO him this time.

    Tua is shot to **** just like Barrett.

    Maybe but Barret looked so slow in his last fight, that I think Tua will catch him this time before his stamina is gone.

    But you are right both of them are shot to ****

    Barrett looked worse than Davis did in their fight on Saturday.

    No surprise the deal would be signed soon after. Barrett took probably 5% less than he would've gotten a week ago and BOOM! Still four times as much as he'd make in any other even semi-realistic fight.

    The fact that Tua is looking to rematch a shot Monte Barrett shows how faded Tua has become. If matched right he might make for a good fight but Tua gets beaten by any top fighter today. Too bad he wasted what few good years he had left with inactivity.

    i thik its unfinished business here.. The first fight was pretty entertaining..
    BArrett didnt look that good against davis, but maybe he has trouble facing soutpaw fighters ...
    The thing is you never know which barrett shows up! but if he is ready and his mind is right i can see him beating tua again!
    But this time around tua would want to put him to sleep quick!

    Actually, if Tua wins a couple of fights he could get a titleshot easily (I'm not saying he has any chance of winning or even that he deserves it).

    Wasn't Tua hampered by shoulder surgery in the first fight? I read somewhere it was a tester fight to see if his shoulder could hold out (this was before teh fight went ahead).
