Comments Thread For: Tua vs King Clash is Set For March 19 in New Zealand

[SN!PER]

King has a poor record and is crude and slow, but he punches very hard. I wouldn't be surprised to see an upset here, with Tua being stopped for the first time.

King punches hard, and it's likely that he will go straight at Tua with power punches, unlike Barrett who's experienced enough to use constant foot movement, stay at long range, waiting for his opponent to tire.

- Tua's punch output versus Barrett was much lower than his usual fights, this is usually a good indication of an injury.

- Barrett (although completely out-of-shape in his last fight) actually trained his heart out for the Tua bout, and executed the right game plan for Tua (with help from his friend Rahman who had fought Tua on two previous occasions).

- If Tua's injury has healed, and King comes at Tua trying to take him out, it's fair to say King will be wide open at the point of the fight when Tua is most dangerous, in the early rounds. I predict an early KO win for Tua.

David Tua is waiting on the lucrative Ike Ibeabuchi rematch. I wonder what the record time is between two title opportunities. What a moron.

Tua needs to retire, we dont need another old, shot guy fighting for world title

This one is not interesting.
Tua vs. Boytsov would be an interesting fight.

Even better would be Tua vs. Arreola. That would be fun while it lasted....

King is gonna beat the **** out of Tua. There isn't a better area for boxers than Michigan.

I agree. A 15-19 record in michigan would be like 30-3 in California
