Anyone watch the Tua fight?

[The Hammer]

If so, how'd he look?

I heard he won a UD.

I just watched it. It's in our videos section.

It was a much closer fight that the scorecards indicated, in fact if Ahunyana had stepped it up at certain times he may have scored at least a knockdown or two, but he's rather passive.

Tua did not appear to be good enough now to defeat a top ten heavyweight contender.

I thought he looked awful quite frankly, and it's a shame too, the division could do with a good version of Tua, but he looked pretty done to me.

he didn't "beat the ****" 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%. 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.

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.

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....
