Monte Barrett vs. David Tua this weekend: your prediction?

[The Hammer]

Who will win the Barrett-Tua fight this coming Saturday?

[uoykcuf]

I'm picking Tua, but when Barrett's on his game he is tricky and very hard to beat for most fighters. Barrett may be past his best, and hell so is Tua but Barrett has that style to bother the hell out of fighters.

[Sadistic]

Tua is one of the most overrated heavyweights of all time.

Barrett will whoop his ass again.

I hope Monty digs deep and retires with a great win.

[BoxerDood]

Tua knows he'll have to impress to be taken seriously after that sorry ass performance in the first fight.

I got Tua by KO.

[SplitSecond]

barret is abstaining, thus he will win

[The Hammer]

what chanel is it gonna be on?

New Zealand Sky TV. We will likely find a stream.

It will be on very early Saturday my (Pacific) time, probably about 2 AM. I plan to stay up tonight and watch it.

Barrett looks in great shape, Tua is overweight.

It seems that David loves hamburgers more than he loves boxing.

[Barry Halls]

i would have said a motivated tua, but looking at how disgustingly fat he looks, I'm not sure about that.

[ИATAS]

Monte is a big underdog in this fight +360, which is strange because he kinda whooped Tua's ass last time and damn near knocked him out.

But I'm thinking the logic here is that because it's in New Zealand, the oddsmakers believe Tua is getting the hometown decision no matter what.

If it was in a neutral location, I'd probably drop a little bit on Monte with those odds. Tua does not look good and Monte put on a hell of a show. I don't believe Tua just had an "off night" he's just done. But as long as it goes the distance and Tua is "active enough" he'll probably win by robbery.
