Tua vs Barrett 2 -- Weigh-In Results, pic, video

[ChopperRead]

The fighters in this weekend’s New Zealand-based heavyweight main event, entitled “Redemption,” stepped on the scales at a subdued weigh-in today that passed without any of the theatrics and posturing boxing fans have come to expect.

David “Tuamanator” Tua tipped the scales at 110.8kg (approx.244 pounds), while Monte “Two Gunz” Barrett weighed 100.9kg (222 pounds). Tua is close to seven pounds heavier than when he fought Barrett in Atlantic City last summer, while Barrett has dropped two pounds since that bout.

Tua, a fast food lover for whom weight has often been an issue, weighed 248 pounds for his last fight, a 12-round unanimous decision win against journeyman Demetrice King.

Monte looks good from what I can see of him:

Monte deserved the decision the first time around, I thought. Wouldn't be surprised if he deserves another one and doesn't get it.

As for Tua coming it at damn-near 250, as Jules Winnfield would've said, "What's the n*gga gonna do? He's Samoan."

Tua even fatter than before? Geez. Looks like his faith hasn't inspired him enough to hit the track.

Monte won the first time, hopefully the judges get it right this time.

Tua's weight has gone up since he lost Roger Bloodworth to Adamek. The guys he has now idolize him and don't make him tow the mark. This could be a win for Barrett.
