Wouldn't it be great if they climbed into the ring and just started prodding each other with their index fingers?

Praps not.....

Assuming both fighters are in top condition for the fight, it will be interesting!

Better boxer? Marginally, Cameron.

Cameron is a trader, he traditionally trades blows to get his chance to finish his opponents.

If Cameron could maintain his discipline and box for the entire bout he could possibly beat Tua on points.

If he gets tired, gets hit, gets carried away cut or cocky, he will revert to type and trade blows, that will be fatal for him!

In top condition, Tua will last the distance but what is his true condition, he can't be match fit!

In a slug fest? I believe Tua should knock Cameron out!

Two big hitters with minimum boxing skill between them usually turns into a slug fest.

Personally I don't have a favourite but it might end up being an interesting bout, probably boring but nevertheless, interesting!

Tua wont change his style or approach to the fight, from round one to the end of the fight, he has demonstrated that throughout his whole boxing career!

The only thing that he will change is his speed as and if he gets tired.

Cameron's best chance is to box quick, clever and long but can he do that?

Tua has had his day-

Hes been washed up since Lenox Lewis out boxed him (granted he went the distance but that was his worst ever fight technically) and his confidence vanished
Sore rib my ass he was beaten fair and square

Id rather have seen Shane and Lennox myself
This is a last ditch grasp by Tua at revitalising his long dead career and tbh I dont know why Camerons bothering

I say 3rd round TKO at the least to Shane when Tua craps out again

Only real comeback in the last 20 years worth noting (imho) was George Foreman back in the 90's when he wasted Michael Moorer with one HUGE left (shit ive digressed now)

Generally agreed and earlier in the thread I did say I'd rather see Shane win because he will get a shot and I don't think Tua will, but Tua does have one heck of a huge hit!! Be an interesting outcome.

I'd love to see him win...but he won't. Tua will cut him (yes I know he's had surgery and doesn't bleed QUITE so easily...but he'll still bleed), then he'll ko him.

No way does Cameron possess the power to ko Tua...no one has done it so far.

On line pole is pretty close

I could not stand tua in his early days with the afro

But watching an interview on him the other night , he has matured a lot and
that will help , he is training hard and has lost a lot of weight .
I dont think ive missed any of shanes fights yet , he is a great fighter and he has shown he has a chin to , but im on the fence with this one , its going to be a great fight or all over in 2 rounds to maybe shane? but i still have ?? over weather him cuting easy is soughted now. Cant wait.

I got stopped outside bp today by a babe wearing rock gear asking me if I want to enter a draw where the prize is a vip package for 10 at one of the local pubs for the tua/cameron death match.

free booze, gargantuan tv etc, fingers crossed..

OK recent news confirmed David Tua's Auntie is dead following the tragic tsunami, since David is a well known Samoan in the community both here and there this could change things. He says he will dedicate this fight for her. My condolences.

Remember guys to book the fight pre the day on sky or it may be full. As a warning I will post on friday giving you guys one last chance if you havent made a prediction or if you want to renew the prediction. I will keep all predictions on a log and a prize will be for the one with the most accurate one.

Knockout-Tua, Points-Cameron!

Cameron does have the power to knock Tua out but will have to expose himself to Tua's own power to inflict it!

Risky, unless Cameron can box Tua's power out of him, haven't seen that ability demonstrated by Shane so far in his career!

It won't be a great boxing spectacle but it should be a really interesting tussle.

I am looking forward to it!
