Tua to fight a big Russian

According to the News tonight David Tua is to fight Alexander Ustinov a 6ft 8in Russian who has had 21 knockouts in his 28 wins.A few years ago he beat Monte Barrett who Tua has had trouble with. At almost 40 has Tua taken on too much or does he still think he can become world champion?

Due to the sparse talent at HW excluding the Klit bros most HW's feel they have a good chance to be champ!

Hope Tua wins as I've always liked him.

This is the huge former kickboxing guy that got KO'd by Pulev isn't it? Tua is a funny fight for him to take. Don't think he'll get much credit for a win given how bad Tua was against Barrett. But, Tua always has that KO punch, so there's a risk of being embarrassed. I'd expect Ustinov to take this, but don't see him doing much at world level.

Never been impressed with Ustinov, if Tua has anything left he will deal with him.

Tua is just a tough guy with a big hook now and should you not get caught cold you'd probabaly box to a decision win 99 times out of 100

Don't go to war with him and you win as he can't do enoug work to win rounds

Pulev is a good puncher and took 11 rounds to stop him so I doubt he's that vulnerable and should be able to take at least a couple shots from Tua

Tua is freakishly strong.

would like to see him win this and get back in the mix. Would love to see what the Tuamans punches might do to Tyson Fury's chin!

If Ustinov i sgoing anywhere he should box to a comfortable decision with is physical advantages.
