Tua vs. Cameron Hype...

But I have full faith he will knock Cameron out not before having a few hard moments.

Where will we see this?

 

hehe, I was living in NZ when Tua was just starting out as a pro, after getting everybody excited at the Olympics. (awesome tournament. Everybody else boxed for points, Tua just KTFO whoever was in front of him.)

He was on celebrity wheel of fortune, and when it was his turn, he picked

"O, for awesome" Poor ****er. I couldn't stop laughing.

Seems a nice bloke, has had ****s for promoters though. If I was managing Tua (and I think Inga the Winger - ex all black and samoan rugby player - now he was big ****er - was for a bit), I'd simply sign a deal with the devil, Don King, and get some quick cash (even tho I know I'd be ripped off a bit) and no doubt at least one title shot.

 

I would like to see Tua do well against this guy and go on to face a bigger name.

He's only 36, and if he can finally get motivated and fighting regularly, who knows what he may be able to do.

 

Found out that Tua is training this month, just on his own. Meaning, he's training, but taking it easy and monitoring his weight.

His wife, Robina, is his manager. His promoter is Cedric Kushner. Inga the winger was just sort of helping out, and has a funeral business now. Tua used to be a dishwasher before turning boxer. He must have seen the (o)wesome tara food on the menu. Incidentially, the chef at that restaurant was his cook at the LL training camp.

 

He needs to get rid of Kushner.

I saw Tua on his last comeback trail, win a fight and say he wanted to fight often to get back. His trainer said the same.

Kushner then came on and was waaaaaay more cautious about how often he would fight, essentially giving the impression he was on the lookout for an easy fight or 2, and a big payday.

Now I know Tua may not be the most motivated fighter in the world, but he needs a promoter that is going to keep him busy. I don't know what his wife wants Tua to do (one off paydays or regular fights to get back 'in the mix'), but Kushner is not going to do much for him I don't think.

Leaving the Duva's was a bad move IMO. Tua really now needs to just sell out, and go to a Don King, Golden Boy etc type organisation that can pull strings on the back of wins over nobodies - the Shannon Briggs/Hasim Rahman route to title shots.

If he stays with Kushner, he'll be lucky to have 2 more fights in his life.


edit: Just picked up on the (o)wesome joke.. nice work!!!

 

Yeah, but it's Tua telling Kushner what to do, not vice versa. CK would love for him to fight more often, to recoup his investment in Tua. CK is more of a free agent for Tua, setting up fights when Tua tells him to. BUT, you're right. He needs a promoter who expects him to fight according to a contract.

 

tua by brutal ko, this guy looks nervous

 

I hope one more time, the last time, We see the Great Old Tuaman destroying Cameron like he did to Ruiz and Moorer.

It might be the Final war, but I hope Tuaman comes out his Gunz Blazing and Rock Cameron out of his Feets:bbb

What I really hope but dont dare to say aloud is that Tua got in shape and get in to ring with David Haye. It would be the end for David. I know David were to meet his match in that fight. You dont beat Tuaman in a fight with shaky chin like with David and David could not box to keep Tuaman away from him. Tuaman would be Monster in that fight, David's daddy.

 

Tua kissed my wife!

In a good way though lol, very friendly guy to the people, well his own people anyway, she is Samoan too.

 

Man I dont like Taro lol. Apparently Inga Tuigamala`s son is a good prospect for the heavyweights, he is training boxing with Camerons trainer, Lolo and his uncle David Tua has been showing him a few things too.

 

Recently rewatched the great Tua vs Ibeabuchi figt..........still don't see how he lost that one.Had it 115-113 for Tua.

The scores weren't even close.That you can argue a robbery.

 

Yeah, tell me about it!

Ikeabuchi was biggest hype job I remember for awhile.

Ike Had no skills, he was out boxed by David Tua for a Christ sake:roflatsch:rofl

 

Huh?

He had skills.And he did the boxing for the most part.

Tua roughed him up on the inside and they both smoterd eachother till Ibeabuchi slowed his crazy volume mid fight and Tua started to land lefts.
Ibeabuchi stayed right there with him.I just thought Tua won it.Don't mean Ibeabuchi couldn't have gotten the decision but the scores were too wide.
