The Venue: Telstra Clear Events Centre, Manukau City, New Zealand

 

The first meeting between these two ended in a controversial draw. This time the decision went to the right man: Monte ‘Two Gunz’ Barrett.

 

The fight was fought for most rounds in the same pattern with Barrett winning the rounds with a peppering jab and the occasional right hand. Tua was sluggish and just wasn’t landing. Tua’s famed Left hook was absent from the early rounds and it was Monte’s left that did damage in the 3rd by cutting the ‘Tuaminator’ over the right eye. Tua said after “I couldn’t get going and tried to get in on later in the fight”.

It took until the 10th when he showed more urgency and landed the left hooks and continued, to do so, in the 11th when he had Barrett hurt near the end of the round.

Round 12 and it was obvious that Tua needed a Knockout to win the fight and credit to David Tua, he went for it despite feeling tired. A barrage of lefts and rights dropped Barrett who struggled to beat the count but did and showed his heart in making it to the final bell.

Tua definately needs to hang them up, good to see Barrett get back on his feet to secure the win. Shows he has that little bit more determination left than Tua at this stage of their careers.

Tua and Barrett wil probably fight on and if theres any sense, they will get matched in a tourney with Meehan and Welliver. All make some money. Be a huge hit downunder.
