David Tua's former manager Kevin Barry believes the leadup to Tua's showdown with Alexander Ustinov has 2009 written all over it and has thrown his vote the way of a Kiwi win in Hamilton on Saturday night.
Barry, who went through an ugly split with Tua in 2003, has previously said he was saddened by the fact Tua was still fighting at the age of 40.
However, despite this, Barry said yesterday from his home in Las Vegas that if all the information he had been provided recently was correct, Tua could destroy Alexander Ustinov in similar fashion to when he beat Shane Cameron in Hamilton in 2009.
"I think it's a very winnable fight for David Tua. A lot of people talk about Tua's inactivity but look, let's remember when he fought Shane Cameron back in 2009 he hadn't fought for two years. Also, if you remember, the Tua-Cameron fight was rescheduled a couple of times, only to work into Tua's advantage and we know this one has been put back a few months and again I think it's in Tua's advantage," Barry said.
