Anyone watch the Tua fight?

tua looked old and slow.....he wont beat any top 10 guys, going from that boring fight.....he doesnt have that hunger for fighting like he once did....

tua could get tagged by a mack truck and not even notice it. he is 5 foot 10 inches, it is hard for him to not get tagged.

I agree with you but not 15%, come on. If i were to put a percentage on it it would be more like 50%. It's hard to say because if he had done that, we have no way of knowing how Tua would/could have reacted to it. Oh and imo Bob Sheridan was paid to come down here to do it and was talking the fight up, well i hope so because if you saw the coverage he was terrible along with the whole show and I as a Kiwi was embarrassed by it. Crap undercard and the 'entertainment' was unwatchable. I hope it didnt put us down too much. I heard the coverage was crap... I was at the fight right next to the Nigerian supporters who was going crazy the whole fight... one of them suggested it was a draw funnily.Tua wasn't going to knock out Friday I told a few Samoan drunks walking into the stadium and they thought I was hating. the crowd and the atmosphere was great... but the fight really felt like watching the Pac vs Clottey however I was a bit more generous and gave Friday 3 rounds... Friday could've stolen a few of the dull rounds if he worked more when he came of the ropes and made the fight more intriguing near the end. I thought Friday handled himself well in the rare exchanges except for a moment in the 10th round.

he didn't "beat the shit" out of Firsay, he outworked him, and got tagged a few times for his efforts, Bob Sheridan predicted a 1st round Ko for Tua, that was the expectation, to blast friday out of there early, instead he barely hurt the guy at all. Friday could of won the fight with 15% more output imo. I agree with you but not 15%, come on. If i were to put a percentage on it it would be more like 50%.

Ahunanya was nowhere near as bad as clottey or Johnson, Ahunanya landed some good clean shots, he just fought dfefensivley, but he wasnt running like a coward or anything. Tua looked average for mine he didn't "beat the shit" out of Firsay, he outworked him, and got tagged a few times for his efforts, Bob Sheridan predicted a 1st round Ko for Tua, that was the expectation, to blast friday out of there early, instead he barely hurt the guy at all. Friday could of won the fight with 15% more output imo. Friday looked like poop to me, I could only give him one round. And 1 round out 12 rounds is not a good fight. And the reason he didn't do your more punch output is because the more he let his hands go, the better chance he'd take punishment and possibly even KO'd. These fighters are afraid to let their hands go because they know the person infront of them can hurt them.

He beat the shit out of a guy who didn't come to fight but to survive. Its funny how when Tua wins by decision its the end of the world by some people. Like Vitali didn't just go the distant with Kevin Johnson... It happens, some boxers rather go out and put on a boring performance and not even seriously try to win.

If so, how'd he look? I heard he won a UD. Oh and i just heard on local radio what the two did after the fight. Friday went to hospital for stitches in his mouth and a broken nose. David went to Burger King.

Kevin Johnson, then Clottey, now Friday Ahunanya.

he looked great and plenty top heavies would be worried to face him.

yeah it was on free to air here in NZ. He looked pretty good considering Friday never really came to fight. Friday used his height and great foot movement to stay away from Tua for a lot of the fight which would have been okay if he had been throwing punches. Tua came out aggressive then settled into the old stalking routine that he has always used. He landed some ripping rights to the body throughout the fight and they seemed to back Friday off but he never looked hurt. A few left hooks landed but again Friday took them well and continued to move around pot shotting maybe 5 shots per round. Tua got frustrated in the late rounds with Friday's tactics and slowed down a bit but in the 11th and 12th stepped it up but only for Friday to move some more and not throw enough. I gave Friday 1 round and 1 round even. Tua looked like he could go another 6 rounds which was a good sign and if you look at Friday's record it's not surprising Tua didnt KO him.

He looked ordinary for mine against an opponent he should of been able to get to , yeah he will win some fights but forget a world title .
