Monte Barrett says Duco promotions are throwing David to the wolves, and he's right.

A third Barrett fight would have made more sense and done great business Down Under.

He's gonna get slaughtered by Ustinov.

Ustinov is just big. Tua has a large punching bag in front of him & if he can let his hands go to the body he may bring them hands down enough to catch him. On the other hand he might eat a jab for the whole fight & lose by decision. Thrown to the wolves? Maybe but tua's team wanted a stiff test to see what david has left. Ustinov won't be slipping punches & staying on his bike...

Dem legs...

Cedric kushner told him not to take the rematch with barrett because he had vitàli lined up for a WBC title shot but tua demanded the rematch...

i tend to doubt that, but if it's from a source that has been independently verified it's news to me.

Tua needs to retire, or else just use his name when fighting bums.

Ustinov could damage him.

Plus Ustinov is a rather huge softie. He str8 quit vs Pulev and i think a few rounds of hard shots from Tua and he'll quit again. Seems like they got the most nonn-mobile guy around

Ustinov took a beating from Pulev before being stopped; he didn't quit as soon as the going got tough.

I believe the story was here on this site. I'll leave that for you to find it. He was #2 in WBO at the time... It was a fight with vitali
