the Tuaman or Cameron

[swampa]

i reckon David Tua will knock cameron out in the 7th round???

[timotheus]

My gut says Tua inside three.

It will probably go longer. But first thought this morning was inside 3.

Tim.

[gimmemud]

Go Cameron! In the 9th

[Jezza]

Cameron through points

[haynzy]

cameron wont knpck him out so it comes down to stamina I think and landing point scorin punches

[Landy Rover]

Once Camerons eye cuts, Tua will be in like a pig in sh-t.

Once Camerons eye cuts, Tua will be in like a pig in sh-t.

Hopefully that wont happen this time. He has had his bone shaved above his eyes to stop that happening.
Tua's only good for the first 30 seconds in the first round and the last 30 seconds in the last round. Cameron all the way

[malfunction]

If Tua wins it will be by knockout early in the fight, but I think Cameron... Well I hope so i put $100 on him!

[swampa]

i see sky are charging pubs $1500 to televise the fight, so some pubs are having door fees, so the tv news was just saying

yeah, its crazy, only cost me $40 at home

[Andrew1706]

$25 for a box or beer to watch at my mates place

[Noeyedeer]

They will probably knock each other sensless neither going down or giving an inch and it will go to the cards and because its generated a bit of interest both here and over seas they will decide its a draw and set it up for the rematch of the century and take it on the road to vegas ..........errr well it could happen it is boxing

[wgtnnewbie]

i'm picking Cameron, tua's only really got that left hook of his where as cameron has got a better arsenal of punches.....

tho it will be a points decision.

must laugh at all the commentators thru the week saying cameron at close to 108kg has never been this heavy yet at the weigh in he's at his lighteset fight weight yet 103.... best con i've seen pulled on the punters in a while.

[Jezza]

just remember Tua is ranked the 48th best boxer of all time and fought one of the top boxers, Cameron on the other hand hasn't even fought anyone in the top 100

[wopass]

clean took his bloody head off in the 1st ...lucky for the bell then opening seconds of the 2nd..GOOD NIGHT CAMERON!!

credit to the man tho cos fark he took 16 BIG hits before hitting the floor

[flyingbrick]

[J_Dub]

[skid]

OOPS

[flyingbrick]

why the #### did camerons team let him back out there for the second round? that was just stupid.

He certainly didn't seem all there while being spoken to by the dr etc.

...lucky for the bell

Nothing Lucky about the bell Ben, it was sheer incompetence that let the fight go to the second round. Flyingbrick, agree that his corner should never had let him out for the second, but it should never have been left up to the corner.

There was no avenue for a fighter to be saved by the bell in any round (including the last) yet the ref cocked up so bad that that is exactly what happened. He performed the 8 count, then called for a supervisor after having a decent look at Shane, then asked for the clock to be stopped, then the bell went for the end of the round.
The ref dropped his nuts and fuked it up, and as a result Shane then got exposed to 13 unanswered power shots in 7 seconds, and was subsequently taken to hospital..........

Having said that, I had David to win by KO... but ya never like to see it that bad.

[vvega]

second round looked like david was in a pub brawl not a fight
qudos to the man for kicking arse
in hindsight though .. tua said this would be Camerons last fight .. and that he thanked him for allowing him to hurt him so bad

theres a certain irony about it considering all the smack cameron talked before the fight

[snork]

Damm
i had Cameron to win.....
Shit i hope he's ok

this is the best i could find for those who havent seen it, Tua is Brutal, cameron is wwwwwaayyy out of his league, but how could he refuse his biggest pay day opportunity.
My sister brought a ringside table and flew her staff up from welly, she loved it.

[xj]

he was released last night from hospital after going in to get checked over, nothing major apparently, just taking precautions.


[edit]
Just a note on McTavish, the ref. Hes only there because he's the WBO man in this area. Hes operating out of the Phillipines because he wanted to get out of the pressure and the spotlight of Australia and Nz, hes fuking hopeless, always has been and always will be... and ends up in the biggest scrap we've seen in NZ and royally cocks it.
Sadly nothing will ever be done about arsing him out of it 'cause thats the screwed up way things go in the industry.

[Dace]

Tua looked AWESOME, cameron was simply outclassed, and for the mouthing he did in the lead up, deserved what he got

best YT i could find

[DaveM]

Have to be quick to see any of the You Tube vids, as they are deleted fairly quickly because of Sky's exclusive rights

[skid]

have been looking all day for a vid of the fight

sadly when I find them, its too late as they have already been removed due to sky tv copyright



whats sad about this shite, is that you can go to the sky news channel that has skynews.co.nz in the top left corner of the screen and theres absolutely no faaarking NZ news at all

all I wanna see is 3 mins and apparently 16 seconds of good viewing

[timotheus]

1:15 highlights on stuff.co.nz

The other couple of minutes were just boxing. Nothing compared to the brawl.
