Tua Man!

Depth · 10 May 2006 at 18:20

This man is a monster, incredible power, granite chin, the guy has never even been wobbled. He is also one of the hardest punchers ever, as shown nicley in this clip. Anyone else a Tua fan?

That punch he landed on the guy on his way down :eek:

nearly knocked his head off!

EDIT: Don't really follow boxing but like watching the odd match, never heard of this guy!

WOW!! That fight was amazing - well the punches by Lua, never heard of him either but damn thet KO was something else!

Tua is one hard boxer, but Lennox made fairly easy work of him, staying behind the jab for the whole fight.

Yep, I was really dissapointed in his performance.

In my opinion though, nobody, not even a prime Tyson, could stand toe to toe and slug with Tua.

isnt he on knockout kings or something? I used to always laugh at his name TUUUUUUUUUUU AAAAAAAAAAH haha

Now he is the definition of stocky, would be a great rugby player.

He's past it now, recent performances were dreadful but could just be because of the lay off

GuruJockStrap · 11 May 2006 at 11:33

Quick, easy nights work for Tua then!

That last punch was devastating!

Oakesy2001uk · 11 May 2006 at 13:39

That punch was stunning! (literally) I be he had a sore head in the morning.

AJUK · 11 May 2006 at 13:56

Who is going to tell him he has silly hair! :eek:

Sweet punch.

Blimey....

I know another Samoan monster that could possibly match up well to him, at least in the chin stakes anyway.

Now you mention it, his legs are huge, especially his calves.

Puts all the little pretty boy body builder's who hang around at my gym to shame

That combination was well placed, jab to open things up and a sort of semi hook which caught Ruiz right on the side of the jaw. Game over from that punch alone IMO.

I've only seen one other Tua fight, when he fought Lewis and that was **** poor really in comparison.

Bri · 11 May 2006 at 20:57

Bloody hell, he nearly took his head off!

syke · 11 May 2006 at 20:59

am a big fan of him, shame he started to put on weight..a lot of weight or he would have knocked some sense into lennox lewis.

Not a chance, Lewis was just too smart for him, as fast as Tua was, Lewis had a huge height and reach advantage, and would still have stayed behind the jab all night.
