Tua v Cameron
David Tua v Shane Cameron; The Terminator v The Mountain Warrior (haha wtf)… Damn, I haven’t been this interested in a boxing match probably since Tua fought Lennox Lewis and got jabbed up for 12 rounds. This match-up has been 2-3 years in the making, but finally a date was confirmed yesterday – June 6th, 2009.
I realise this is boxing and shit can change at any minute – I mean the venue is still being decided and the fight’s dependant on both boxers completing warm-up bouts first – but let’s just assume it’s 100% gonna go down. Who would win? At 37, Tua is arguably past his prime, particularly since he hasn’t fought much in recent years, but he’s got a pretty impressive resume. He fought several current or future champions in his career – Hasim Rahman, John Ruiz, Michael Moorer and of course Lewis – and has knocked out a whole bunch of people in the process – 44 of his 49 wins. Cameron hasn’t fought any illustrious fighters to date, but has lost only once and has been convincing against the opponents he’s beat. While it’s hard to compare 2 fighters’ feats from 2 different eras, one thing that’s apparent is Tua at his peak v Cameron at his is a no-contest. Personally, I’m with Tua – he might have aged, but I bet that left-hook and hard head are still there… plus he was one of my childhood heroes so he’s also the sentimental favourite (aww). So sports fans, who’s your money on?

Ha ha, Tua all day. Shane Cameron’s face probably bleeds after getting hit by raindrops. Damn cut prone bastard.

Tua will win if he’s fit and the fight will probably end at round 4.

I’d go with Tua if he gets in shape – ultimately boxing has become a fucking joke, MMA is the only fighting sport that has clear results 95% of the time.

Tua all the way, the fight that Shane Cameron did lose was fucking embarassing – I hope Tua knocks him out in the first round
lol at the commentators trying to Shane he was still gonna win that fight when he was all bloodied up and the other dude looked untouched

lol @ the commentators trying to say Shane was still gonna win…is what that meant to say haha fob ^^

^ LOL.
True story tho. There was one particular commentator who’s one sidedness was ridiculous, specially when Shane was lookin like he’d been mauled by Pitbulls.

Tua all the way, Camerons a joke, gets hit and starts bleeding everytime. I reckon Tua’s not even that much below his prime atm, he’s getting a title fight soon if he keeps winning

shane cameron will go down in the 5th.

Tua for sure.. shane cameron should just go back to being a bushpig he’s got no real future in boxing.
On a side note, I highly doubt that Tua is rapping on that song (in the video).
You can tell by the pronounciation that the guy is obviously a fake-ass plastic samoan!! so my guess is it’s probably PNC or David Dallas lacing the track
