This fight makes no sense. Tua is gonna get brutally beaten up. There is a good possibility that he even gets TKO'd.
Wlad will never be able to KO Tua because if Tua feels the power of Klitschko he'll go into a shell and harden his chin to be able to last the full 12...and we all know Klitschko doesn't have the greatest killer instinct...he waits for the KO, doesn't go for it. Wlad UD 12.
I hope to christ this isn't gonna happen, do we really need another wlad/fringe contender match-up, can we just get a goddamn unification fight for ****s sake?! he should really fight ibragimov next and forget tua, who he tkos in 8 or 9 imo.
I would like to know who will be the opponent for Tua on September 7!! And Rahman who will fight on that date too! No opponents yet, and they will fight next friday!!atsch
I think Tua has more of a chance than people our giving him, yes if he fights cautious like he did against Lewis he will get destroyed. But if he watches any of Wlads fights his best chance is to swarm Wlad with hook after hook hoping it hits a target, and yes he has the chin to do it. Just think if he could knockout fighters like Moorer and Ruiz in under 33 seconds he could it to Wlad too.
Tua is the biggest under acheiver in the HW division ..I can't to see him try to land the single bomb same as w/when he fought LL .. W.Klitchko by TKO !
But do you think if Tua came out like Tyson throwing left hook bombs, would you think he has a decent chance then to ko Wladimir?
The good thing about Tua is that he is so short that wlad wont be able to hold and lean on him like he did with Peter. Lewis found that it was impossible to get a clinch with Tua because he just geniflects out of it and Wlad is taller so there is the danger he can also get under the jab. Tua showed against Lewis that he doesnt have the figh in his heart, today he is fighting more for the money than the glory after the court cases and the money his former managers got.
Not this version of Wlad ..Considering he's almost mirrong LL'S style with the jab ..And lets not forget Wlad's reach ..He could throw all the bombs he wanted but he has to be accurate with them .If this was the Tua that fought Ieabuchi then I would say hell yes but since then Tua has just come up short ..Hey I'd love for him to win the title but I just don't see him as the man to do it ..
I dont know I have faith in Tua, I think he knows its now or never. This in my opinion is going to be Wlads most dangerous oppenent since Peter and Im looking foward to seeing the fight.
If this is the case, I think Finkel takes the fight. Wladmir will have his hands full but its a real marketable fight and one that is necessary to push Wlads legacy forward.
As good a fight as any. Better than almost any actually, since we know that Klitschko will not unify. There is no magic weight at which Tua becomes dangerous at (contrary to popular belief), but he is relatively dangerous to Klitschko at any weight.
