All we no for sure is that Tua is fighting another stiff bum soon in Cya Fox, when is he going to get serious? ****, how does he hold a live fanbase:huh
Ah man, just view it as televised, competitive sparring match. It is a last minute thing after all, not something that's been planned.
Shamrock, why are you starting some **** about my man, Tua? You know that the man is just keeping busy until he gets his chance. What do ya want him to do, go to KFC or sit at home eating corned beef like he used to do? Or perhaps say he needs to take care of other matters like he did from February-August of this year? At least the man is staying in the ring rather than in the kitchen. He's training hard, fighting monthly, and is looking to fight a top 20 guy later this year. He's even down around 235 now. I think the reason that you are picking on him is one of 2 things: He didn't visit your gym like he said he would. That is unpardonable, and he should be spanked for it. The other is that he's wanting to fight your boy Klit. Hey, give him huge stones for going up against another 6'6" giant after his fiasco with Lewis. You know he's not ready to take on the elite yet. Nearly there, but damn, us Tua diehards have waited all this time to get this far. You still believed in Klit when he got knocked on his ass repeatedly by Sanders, Brewster, and Peter. Let us diehards continue to have hope in our boy Tua.
tua just show up to fight,its hes promoter hes tha ass who dont get tua big names OH YEAH BY THE WAY I FOUND MR FOX atsch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R2ImML2DmY&mode=related&search=
I'll get back to you as soon as I can me ol' mate, but you judge my considerations way too cheaply. Shamrock xxx
Shamrock, after 12 guys turned him down, what's he supposed to do a week before the fight? I agree he needs to step it up, but I'm happy that he's active and in shape. Maybe I'm taking a minimilistic approach to him?
Right, so we get an accomplished Amateur Worlds title fighter to fight a novice, just to keep in shape and winning until his next international appointment? True, thats right, even the amateurs wouldn't allow it! Forget it! I'm not interested in Tua anymore, and not because he didn't visit my club or he is talking a title shot already, but because he's just plain bloody uninspiring! Who gives a **** about him and Cerrone Fox, I probly got a heavyweight who could beat him! 12 guys turned him down eh? They were probly still at school?
I guess they figure it would be a payday and a way to train for a fight. I guess his people don't want to take a risk of losing (okay maybe they're taking a .001 chance of losing) when they may have a title fight in the bag. I wish they would put him in with good B fighters like Eddie Chambers, Ty Fields, Raqy Autin, Mike Mollo, Brian Minto or even Joe Mesi. Heck for that matter Hassim Raahman is fighting Dicky Ryan. That would even big a step up from the fighter Tua is fighting.
Shamrock, sorry, but didn't get a chance to visit Shamrock gym on the Sunshine Coast as time ran out on me. Just got your messsage. I plan to be there for 4 months next year and WILL visit. I'll also visit you in Auckland in October if you promise not to hit me for supporting Tua's Tour of Duty? Did you see the fight? Tua IS very inspiring, judging by his improvement in the Fox fight. But can he do it against fair competition? I think I know one of your concerns. Tua is being a bully and facing mis-matched opponents. You seem to have a moral fibre that fights should be fair. I agree fights should be competitive, if only for the fighters safety. The fight was a sellout, which couldn't have made the fans happy with two one sided ko's in 1.5 rounds. Let's you and I agree that Tua needs to step it up and face competitive competition. How about Tua vs Guinn or Williamson in October?
