This KO meant nothing. Did you see the body of his opponent from the weigh in? He looked soft and terrible. That said, I guess Tua could have a decent shot against some "top 15" guys like McClline, Holyfield, Ibragimov, etc.
He's a serious threat if you stand in front of him, I mean, him and Peter are probably the two hardest hitting HWs at the moment.
Give your head a shake!
Tua is done!
Like a pig left over night in a hawaiin lua! D-O-N-E !!
Ya sure..stand in front of him with your hands down and he can KO you..
DUH!
NEXT!
Its only cuz the HW div is so slow developing new talentthat anyone even remembers his name!......mind you...the Tua/Ibeabuchi fight might make you wish for a comeback! Even at 1/2 that level he would be awesome!
i tua gets back into shape, stays active, with his punch and chin he could make a splash in the shallow pool of talent in the heavyweight division. but that all remains up to him and his efforts.................
He already KO'd Maskaev and I wouldn't be surprised if he could do it again, not sure about Sultan. Wladimir would make him look bad though, Sam Peter would out hustle him for a dec.
Well his comeback has lasted longer than many expected it to and he has managed to get his weight down which has been surprising. We'll only know what he has when he steps up his competition but if he's fighting on a regular basis that can't be a bad thing. Getting that first round KO might give him some old confidence back.
Lets see what happens, I've not given up on him just yet.
