David Tua or Shane Cameron?

Fair estimate, so far im betting $100 on Tua, the price could be lifted. Not in the TAB just amongst mates if you want to lose or earn some cash you can arrange a bet.

O for Awesome!

How about K for Owned, (Shane Cameron that is) XD

In the Press Conference, Shane quotes -to Tua- "I seen those Lennox Lewis fights, you got a hiding". lol, if Tua got even so much as a 'hiding", imagine a match with no other than Shane and Lennox themselves. Sorry, but Shane wouldn't last the first round.

Shane Cameron is all talk.

you didn't include loses in your stats.
I see Cameron winning but, it will go the distance and he will win on points because he's younger and fitter. I don't think there are many boxers who could knock David Tua out, hes a rock solid brick shit-house! who likes to spell Awesome with an O

I could see the fear in Shane Cameron's eyes.

I like Shane, he's a good kid with potential, but Tua's too strong, it'll all be over within 5 rounds

and if that's the fight strategy it will be a shit fight like the Lewis one.
I lost a lot of money due to that, when i lived in the uk as i put 300 pounds on Tua for a win at 46to1 . at some back alley bookie in Putney London.
I'm going for Tua , hes fought a lot of good fighters in his time , and The mountain goat a lot ove no names, just check out some of the fight on u- tube

I can't predict the result but I will say

Shane Cameron is the better boxer - he has a much greater repertoire of punches, torso movement and ring sense

However, he has some worrying variables to contend with:

If he can position himself, Tua has a much bigger punch (that's the early danger)
He cuts (this could end things later in the fight)
Tua has a granite jaw (as evidenced when Lewis peppered him and gave him the learn)
Tua has big match experience

These are all huge factors. Who knows what to expect?

To right Hitcher, the fear in Shane's eyes, its because Shane recognizes Tua's brute strength and violence. Notice how at the start Tua was low in votes, now it is a tie! Keep it that way it makes this more the interesting.

Tua may have once spelt 'awesomne' with an 'O' but Shane Cameron is definitely coming across as the dummy compared to Tua when interviewed. Shane Cameron seems to think half the battle is winning the trash talking - I just hope he remembers to hit him when the fight starts.

Tua has arguably got more to prove than Cameron. I think that this has perhaps given Tua more push to train as hard as possible to make sure he is in top shape. Cameron may be a better 'boxer' however he does not hit as hard as Tua and he sure does not have the head made of rock that Tua does.
Personally I would like to see Tua win as he comes across the more likable guy who is a bit more humble and 'respectfull'. I do not like Camerons trash talking to the level it got to, even though I appreciate it is part of the build up.

Either way, I hope it is a good fight, Cameron is certainly a formidable force.

Whether or not you like tua (I don't really) he certainly seems like he has his eyes open to the whole thing. That makes me think that he knows how hard he has to train, and has the right mindset to go into the fight. Cameron, on the other hand seems to be past the point of cocky and into the deluded area. He flat out refuses to recognize that Tua has made his mark on the world, and he hasn't. Thinks it will be easy or something. And yes, he did look scared looking Tua in the eyes while he was getting pissed
