Comments Thread For: Tua Hopes Ustinov Win Will Lead To Klitschko Shot

[Tobi.G]

Hes knocked out four former world champions in Maskaev, Ruiz, Rahman & Moorer.

I hope he wins & I am glad he has got himself in very good condition but I fear it maybe too little too late. The last I recall his power being there was against non-durable blown up cruiserweight Shane Cameron though he was fighting mainly very durable opposition.

Barrett is not durable at all. Barrett was stopped by the heaviest Solis (271 lbs) ever stepping in the ring. But Tua fought him 2 times and was not able to knock him out! This version of Tua will go nowhere, i hope hes in better shape this time.

Lots of body shots--keep firing the left hook to the liver. Tua needs to apply steady pressure and stay low, give head movement to make Ustinov swing at air all night. He should save his energy for the later rounds so that he can ambush the big guy when he slows down. If Ustinov thinks his chin is out of range, think again. If he gets too comfortable in there, Tua can catch him off guard coming in.

I said mainly & was referring to Ahunanya & the other guy whose name isn't coming to mind but yeah he certainly should of dispatched of Barrett if he had anything left. In fact I feel he made old Monte look a lot better than he was.
He was dropped by Barrett too who isn't really a puncher so I question whether that famed granite chin is still upto par or whether his punch resistance has gone. This was a couple of years back too & hes coming off a huge lay off.

Its an intriguing fight but feel no matter what happens it won't give much of a gauge of where The Tuaman is at currently.

I love Tuaman and i think he could KO Ustinov, But I think a klit fight would look a lot like the Tua vs. Lewis fight.

Is Tua broke or something?

He got hit clean with a huge left hook - it would've knocked down many a heavyweight. That was Tua's first time in his career that he got knocked down.
