Time to fight the Polish warrior and earn a contender status Tua.

My money would definitely be on Adamek. Tua seems to be only looking for easy fights unless he is overpaid.

Sweet. I hope Monte retires after this, but its a step in the right direction for Tua. Hopefully after this we get to see him in their with somebody legit. Maybe a war with Arreola! Pumped that Tua's packed. Always great to watch a heavy hitter in the ring.

Monte Barrett is shot and needs to retire. He certainly shouldn't be facing a big puncher at this point.

David Tua is running out of time, and shouldn't be taking on shot fighters and journeymen at this point. He needs to fight a top ten contender and then receive a world title shot before it is too late.

I'll be there

Tua will defend his WBO Asia Pacific and WBO Oriental heavyweight title belts.

Does anyone else think it would be silly for Monte Barrett to potentially be the WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental Heavyweight titlist?

Not that he even has a prayer of winning, just a comment on the absurdity of Monte Barrett fighting for such a title.
