Chiris Arreola will beat David Tuas ass!

Just my opinion. It will be a good fight though looking forward to it.

I've heard that fight is dead, at least for this year. Arreola will fight a minor opponent on HBO BAD late this year.

The anticipated battle between heavyweight punchers David Tua and Chris Arreola is being held up by the usual reason - money. Cedrick Kushner, promoter for Tua, doesn't feel the offer being presented fully compensates his fighter. Their title eliminator is slated to land in either September or October in Arreola's backyard of California.

Kushner hopes to finalize a deal with Arreola's promoter Dan Goossen in the next few days.

"There's a real determination to get the deal done in the next couple of days," Kushner told writer John Matheson. "Is there a sticking point? Put it this way once the dollars and cents come together the way everyone wants them, the fight will be made. We're not a million miles away at the moment. There's a lot of interest in the fight and we need to be compensated for that."

Kushner says that Tua is very eager to **** away with Arreola. He is waiting for the word that everything is done so he can get started with his training camp.

"I spoke to Dave last night he can't wait to get into camp and start preparing for Arreola," Kushner said. "He's in a great space right now. He's got his eye on the prize. He wants to be the heavyweight champion and this fight will propel him onto that stage again. And thank goodness for that. The heavyweight division needs Dave. The prospect of a former No 1 contender (Tua) and a current top-five guy (Arreola) has a lot of people excited."

That sucks. I read that Tua wanted more money but I don't know all of the details. This would have been a good test for Arreola and probably a pretty good fight.

Aw man, I was hoping to see a really good slugfest between these two. Tua still has quite a bit left in the tank.

Thanks. This is what I remember reading.

If Tua doesn't take the fight and asks for more money then he is definitely ducking Arreola.

There I said it!!!

LOL just had to get that in there.
