Tua vs Friday on Wednesday

[Tank]

Predictions?

A must win for Tua - but Friday can take a punch - could he push Tua into the later rounds?

Can Tua keep going into the late rounds?

I think its going to be a short night with Tua taking the spoils.

Best served as fritters or eaten raw.

[lorenzo.V]

Yep, my vote's Tua, @ 1min. 22sec. , in the 4th round.

[The Everlasting]

Tua will knock him out in the first round....

[Owl]

I pick Tua to win, first round KO!

[Smifffy]

On Wednesday, Friday will be knocked into the middle of next week....

;)

[munster]

Who's going? I won tickets off The Rock a few weeks back. They played a bit of audio and you had to guess what fight, between who and of course who won! It was Rumble in the Jungle, Foreman & Ali.

Don't know how I even knew that, I was only 5 at the time.

Never been to a fight before. Should be good.

[Headbanger]

Tua will destroy him, if it goes to the second round I'll be surprised, It certainly wont get any further.

[george formby]

Friday is a big boy, Tua will need to take some hit's to get close enough for the KO, that's always been his downfall. Still, my money is on Tua to win in the 3rd round.

[Mom]

Tua. He is fit for it, trimmed down and motivated.

I reckon into 3 rounds.

[steve_t]

Tua in the 1st round

[sil3nt]

Didn't realise it starts at 11. Fuck this im going to bed. Been waiting far too many fkn hours already. All this pre match entertainment is bullshit. So were the fights.

[Bikemad]

someone should have shot that fella when he did the true shit pop group

[scissorhands]

Imagine The Rugby World Cup filler we will have to endure

[Bikemad]

Imagine The Rugby World Cup filler we will have to endure
why.................are they doin it to a disco beat...............

[Bikemad]

WTF again................four fuckin anthems..............how many people actually fightin

[riffer]

We have to fill in the time until 11.00 folks. Maori TV sold the fight to FoxTel in Aussie, who insisted on showing it at 9.00 pm Aussie time (according to Radio Live's Jason Coleman). That's why you're waiting. Money talks.

[quickbuck]

I think its going to be a short night with Tua taking the spoils.

Yup,
But already late, and hasn't even started yet!!!!

[Headbanger]

Finished???

[Bikemad]

i knew someone would blame the stinkin aussies for this.......you a cricket fan dude?????

[quickbuck]

John Key in the ring?
I can think of better candidates for a Politician being in a boxing ring........
Now that may be something worth staying up for...

[Bikemad]

i'll hold him...........you hit him QB

[scissorhands]

Just cause samoa won the 7's dont mean shit

[scissorhands]

His tits are sagging

[blackdog]

[oldrider]

Please keep those cards and letters rolling in, we haven't got "SKY"!

[kiwifruit]

still willing to bet on tua, any takers?



Please keep those cards and letters rolling in, we haven't got "SKY"!

[sil3nt]

A lot of people won't be able to get Maori TV without sky or at least the old sky aerials.

[Bikemad]

whats the bet fella

[kiwifruit]

whats the bet fella

20 on david to win

[scissorhands]

I might have done my dough, but anything can happen!!!!

[quickbuck]

Round five goes to Tua I would say....

Tua has knocked him a few times, and I think Tua will have him soon....

[scissorhands]

Fuck off!!

[Bikemad]

yeah i reckon hes gonna win

[oldrider]

I thought Friday systematically pulled the wings off Cameron and completely outclassed him, so maybe people are underestimating him!

If Tua underestimates him, he may live to regret it but even so I believe Tua should beat Friday tonight!

[blackdog]

4-2 tua i reckon

[quickbuck]

Friday is making the mistake of hitting Tua in the head.... Only hurts your hand!

Think Tua has the 7th round too...

[Bikemad]

this friday guy doin an Ali...........tryinn to wear tua down??

[cromagnon]

I think im up to 10 kaicooker ads already

[blackdog]

Friday is making the mistake of hitting Tua in the head.... Only hurts your hand!

Think Tua has the 7th round too...

agree

friday's head made of concrete too, took 2 hooks that round didn't phase him

[blackdog]

I think im up to 10 kaicooker ads already

i'm starting to think i want one!

[scissorhands]

I think im up to 10 kaicooker ads already

I got weed and Grolsh

[oldrider]

So Friday is bringing David back down to earth again then? Tua has to be careful not to punch himself out and leave Friday to pick up the pieces!

[blackdog]

So Friday is bringing David back down to earth again then?

not really, not scoring enough tua just waiting for the opening

[quickbuck]

So Friday is bringing David back down to earth again then? Tua has to be careful not to punch himself out and leave Friday to pick up the pieces!

Definitely making him work for his money tonight...
Tua in total control at the moment though...

[blackdog]

I got weed and Grolsh

lol i got cider and codiene, something friday will want soon will be lucky to get away without broken ribs

[quickbuck]

Round 9 to Tua....
I'm picking.

[Bikemad]

i got brie and crackers..................weed all gone!!!

[Hopeful Bastard]

Bloody fight still going??? Christ!

Finish it already Friday..

[quickbuck]

Friday almost out...

[oldrider]

Wish I could watch it, the longer it goes the better chance Friday has, as he is the better boxer of the two and Tua will get frustrated at not being able to tag him!

If it's a decision David will be lucky to head old Friday off I think!

[blackdog]

Wish I could watch it, the longer it goes the better chance Friday has, as he is the better boxer of the two and Tua will get frustrated at not being able to tag him!

If it's a decision David will be lucky to head old Friday off I think!


the opposite

tua has him 8-2 and has outboxed him

[quickbuck]

Round 10 to Tua...
Next round will be a good one!

[kiwifruit]

Tua is all class

[cromagnon]

Wish I could watch it, the longer it goes the better chance Friday has, as he is the better boxer of the two and Tua will get frustrated at not being able to tag him!

If it's a decision David will be lucky to head old Friday off I think!

Tua is the only one throwing punches, Friday is just running around the ring. If it goes to 12, Tua will win

[oldrider]

Well done David Tua! This is better for Tua for the future than an early KO, it will show him in a better light!

[Bikemad]

geez......you are a hopeful basterd

[scissorhands]

I'm sweet if its a draw, $20 will be mine!

[blackdog]

the tab will be laughing their asses off, who woulda picked it going the distance?

[kiwifruit]

I'm sweet if its a draw, $20 will be mine!

sure will!!

[quickbuck]

12th round. Roughly 110 to 100 to Tua on points....

[blackdog]

I'm sweet if its a draw, $20 will be mine!

wishful thinking, i cant see more than 2 rounds friday coulda possibly won

[kiwifruit]

acc number coming via PM :D

[quickbuck]

Tua exploded in the last 10 seconds... Shame he slipped.

120 to 109, the commentator scored it as... See what the final decision is.

What ever the result, well done to Tua!!!

[cromagnon]

Tua won! yus

[steve_t]

The Australian judge 120-108... every round to Tua!

[kiwifruit]

Impressive display of fitness and skill

[scissorhands]

The more dominant fighter

[oldrider]

Thank you all for keeping the thread up to date, Tua's boxing must have improved under his new coach!

[cromagnon]

"Tonight Im going to burger king" I love it

[quickbuck]

Thank you all for keeping the thread up to date, Tua's boxing must have improved under his new coach!

Yes, I think you are right.
A very different boxer to the guy who used to smash em in the first few rounds, or else he would run out of juice....

He boxed very smart I thought.

[quickbuck]

"Tonight Im going to burger king" I love it

They must be paying him heaps!

[Jonno.]

Fucking awesome night there, would have been mean to get a vip table.

[oldrider]

Like Lennox Lewis said of Tua, It will take more than a big punch and a bad hairdo to beat a pugilist of my ability, then he just made a fool of Tua!

I would like to see Tua do well and get another go, he has beaten other lesser fighters who have gone further and held the/a (which one?) title!

Thank you and good night!

[EJK]

I will bet $100 on Tua!

[Big Col]

And no one mentioned If Tua wanted to buy a vowel........

[SS90]

Yup, I give that an "O" for Awesome!

[Jonno.]

LOL, did anyone see him on breakfast this morning at Burger King with the crown on :lol:

[EJK]

Actually the other black guy won.

Happy April Fools day mates!

[oldrider]

Have just seen bits of the fight and I don't think David Tua has improved his boxing skills much and his inability to control the way the fight progresses is unchanged!

Friday took a defensive approach that worked for him, he controlled the fight and came out unscathed but that's all he did!

Tua took the fight to him but was not able to dictate the terms, he had a good 12 round workout but what Lewis said of him still stands.

Despite Cameron being defenceless and a standing target (read punch bag) for most of their short fight, Tua did not get many clean shots in, the referee stopped the fight!

I don't think Cameron should ever fight again, he looks punch drunk to me now!

Tua will win a few fights and be exciting for a while but his opponents will have to be poor and help make him look good.

I wish him and Friday well, at least they did go at it the full time but time is not on their side!
