Title: David Tua, heavy weight boxer from Down Under...
Post by: GmanJoe on November 30, 2002, 10:13:19 PM: .....just made the most spectacular upper cut in the world! The man was clearly lifted off the canvas as that punch made a perfect connection to the his jaw! Think of Street Fighter 2 and that crazy HI-RYU-KEN punch from Ruy or Ken.

The guy was laid out for several minutes as the doctors tried to revive him. He was fine.

I wished he used that on Lennox Lewis a year and half ago. His jaw was right there all night. But Tua had too much respect for Lennox\'s long jab.

People forget one thing in that fight......... Tua hardly won a single round, on the night, he looked very, VERY wooden, and he was totally predictable. He may have won against a nobody, but against Lennox Lewis??? Nah, he hasn\'t got the where-with-all to beat a calibre fighter like Lewis. Even if he did manage to knock him out, he would have lost the rematch.

I know he\'s from New Zealand but Tua\'s promoter sometimes will ask the announcer to say "Warrior from Down Under".

I never said anything about MY condition, but for a supposedly world class heavyweight, Tua DOES NOT look in the best physical condition.
