Floyd-Arturo: This year's Lewis-Tua

[paul750]

his ribs weren't broken before the fight, a double left hook in round 3 is what broke Tua's ribs, Tua winced, then Lewis clocked him with a huge overhand right, and from that point on the fight was not competitive (I watched it again this morning, it was a brutal left to the body that did it)....so what will Gatti's excuse be? Broken cheekbones? Hands? Ribs?

it happened during sparring before the fight, tua is a humble guy and never makes any excuses, of course he probably still would have lost, but he would of given a better account of himself if he had of been 100%.

well that's your side of the story, either way, if his belly wasn't such a big target he wouldn't have gotten hit there and yes I think that it wouldn't have mattered anyhow, Lewis was too tall, too smart, too strong, too defensive, and Tua was disenchanted after only 3 rounds

I've very interested in this fight because of two things ....

1. The puncher's chance.
2. Seeing the PBF Show so soon after Hatton being "crowned" king of the Welters.

I think this fight should be a fair bit different. Lewis was defensive, and used his jab, but he was also a really heavy hitter. Mayweather is defensive, but not really a heavy hitter. Gatti boxes quite a bit differently than Tua.

I know it, of course their styles are different, I was just thinking that the overall pace and outcome would be similar

I just see Floyd taking his fight game to another level after Hatton was praised by the world. I belive Floyd will show everyone that he is the king of the jr.welters and making a fool out of Gatti with missed punches and taing him off balance. I also agree that Gatti has a punchers chance but Floyd has to much to give up in this fight for him to actually go down to Gatti. Im sticking with my orginal pick of Floyd TKO round 10

Tarver-Jones II


Never know until fight night.
