[mattboxingfan]

David Tua is set to fight Monte Barrett! Here's Tua's Boxrec David Tua - Boxer I see Tua smashing him in 3 rounds should be an easy nights work for him. Thoughts? Im looking forward to Tua getting back into the mix!

Seems the always impossing and seemingly capable Tua has been on career freeze frame forever.He really has to have some of the worst career advice,managment or self motivation seen from a promising heavyweight in quite some time.I just don't see him being a factor,not so much because he's not capable but because he's fighting a guy like Barret who he should have been using for padding years ago .

[Otley]

Feck sake is this some kind of bad joke....Barrett should not be allowed in a boxing ring again....i'm sure Tua's team could have found somebody half decent.....i'm afraid Tua is being protected cause he aint got it any more...shame really cause he might of won a trinket by now....oh well!!

So true

what the hell has the guy done since fighting lewis. He hasnt lost a fight, yet hasnt been in with the average 2nd tier of heavyweights and hasnt got anywhere near to the klitschkos.

Who the hell is making these fights for him?

Tua has wasted like ten years since the Lewis fight and the only good thing in fighting a bum like this is if he were fighting them every two weeks to get back in shape for awhile, then take on a top ten guy in six months. Total wate of a fight and a career.

What a waste of time this fight is.Barrett has turned into a heavyweight punchbag over the last 3 fights and he was never that good a fighter in the first place.

When the most famous moment in your career is falling flat on your face while trying to jump into the ring you know it hasnt been a succesful one

Chris Byrd beat him easy?

I think Tua still has 2 more fights with Maori TV over here, so lookout for at least another fight of this stature before he moves onto the bigger money fights. Its been good for him here in NZ because his fights have been shown live on free to air TV on he is starting to regain a following again after being of the radar for a few years with inactivity.

Tua blows Barrett away in 1!!!

At this point I still think Tua's dangerous for anyone in the top 10, bar the Klitschko's!

It is good he is letting the fans get to see him even if it is against limited opposition. This is no different to Bruno doing it when he was on the BBC. Bruno was just as limited.
