Lyle, Tua KO'd wheeler...and we all know what its like when a late substitute comes in let alone a 3rd sub!..No excuses, Tua has a way to go, but with his chin, stamina and one punch power only very good boxers are going to beat him easily...he needs to get into shape (besides round) and he will be very competitive in this division...again do you think Liakhovich or Briggs would beat even this version?
You know that sub has just as much time to prepare for Tua so who was making the most of it before the ko
Your absolutely right from a conditioning aspect, no doubt about it...but this guy knew how tua fought before they got into the ring...Tua didn't even know who this guy was, what to expect and let's not forget the demotivating factor of facing a 3rd in line guy...So it took a while for a rusty tua to figure him out then "whaap" a KO...It just wasn't that big of a deal...Late replacements are always a wildcard...
