Comments Thread For: Tua vs Ustinov Early Results From New Zealand

[ddangerous]

Not the worst fight to retire on - at least he came in in impressive shape.

Ustinov did well, Tua tried but he isn't the same he should retire he's a legend.

There's that word again. Wondering who in this sport IS NOT considered a legend.

just watched this fight...

the real victory for tua was he dropped 100lbs to get to this fight. he never looked tired & he had a decent defence but he never let his hands go. if he threw more this fight was there for him. Ustinov popped him with jabs & the odd short right. he also hit him with the occasional left hook. tua didn't double up to get inside. he tried to hit a homerun & struck out missing. he is done & the sad part is 10 years ago he would have cleaned the floor with Ustinov. left to the body & hook to the head. I thought the ref did a good job. didn't let any holding go. he warned Ustinov multiple times not to lean on him but later he started telling tua not to duck & put his head down as that is why they were getting tied up. I love bob Sheridan but he was terrible last night. he lost count of his own scorecard & he was clearly trying to keep his NZLD tv boxing gig. I think his commentary days are coming to an end. he use to be the master at ****ing up a dull fight telling stories & every chance he had to say something positive about either fighter he would do so rather it was the guy winning or the guy losing the fight. he could make a john ruiz fight sound more exciting then it was. he was brutal in this fight & from what I heard his last few broadcasts haven't been on the mark...
