I'd figure Tua fight card will start on 3 am EST on Wed. As an aside, spent nearly a month in New Zealand early in this decade and it's a terrific country. Great food, beer and people. Has everything - beach, mountains, rural and nice cities. All in a short helicopter ride away. Even given casual thought to making it a permanent residence.

Everyone I know who has visited New Zealand wants to move their permanently or live their some point in life. I've heard only amazing things. Plus, they brought us the Tuaman !

Yeah, it is quite special. We were in 5star accommodations from Auckland all the way down to Christchurch and every where in between and all were amazing in their own way. When I went the US dollar converted to about $2.40 NZD. It's not that level now but it's still favorable. Wouldn't be a bad place to be a snow bird rather than boring Florida which is where folks in my area tend to have 2nd lodgings.

Yes, and of course Tuaman hails from there which is a positive, I agree. Always been a Tua fan like yourself. He's never been the greatest fighter and has had many faults over the years but I always have a special affinity for guys that can both punch and catch coupled with prodigious physicality.

Hey guys what's up?

It's gonna be a little difficult for me to post over the next few weeks, but I'll get my picks in.

Forgetting about last week, ouch! Ghost said the first bloodbath of the year. For me this was true...but movin' on.

Looking forward to this week's lines!!

I think what ultimately killed many of us was betting too many fights. Ghost even alluded to being careful with so many options...it's the advice I always give and I failed to heed it...had a great Friday and got greedy and lost it all and then some on Sat, even after stating I was going to bet a minimal amt and hold onto my winnings....I'm going to put this at the top of my computer scr- KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID

Tua fight in progress - LIVE UPDATES: Tua vs Ahunanya

Tua fight in progress - LIVE UPDATES: Tua vs Ahunanya

David 'The Tuaminatory Tua' vs 'Friday 13th' Ahunanaya- scheduled for 12 rounds
By Nikolai Smith


Round 1 Tua sizes up Ahunanya before going in for a couple of body shots. Both fighters feel themselves into the round. Tua was the most aggressive of the two but didn't land any really big blows.

Round 2 Tua wins the second round. He lands more shots than Ahunanya. Both fighters are still tentantive, feeling their way into the fight.

Round 3 Tua's round - just. He landed a nice left hand shot into Ahuananya's face that. The round was close though.

Round 4 Tua comes out early and lets rip hitting Ahunanya well with one of the shots. Tua wins that round.

Round 5 Some more intense action from Tua as he grows with confidence this round and is landed some good body shots.

Round 6 Ahunanya is looking tired and is dropping his left hand as a result of the body shots Tua has been regularly landing. Tua's round.

Round 12 Tua puts on a final flurry of punches and slips right on the bell. The fight lasted the distance.

Anyone see the Tua fight?

Anyone see the Tua fight?

Was curious how he looked.

Friday, with the exception of Goofi, often goes rounds with good fighters and even grabs some rounds like he did with Ibragimov and Lyohovich.

So if Tua was dominant and went 12, that's a good thing. Friday did look like an awfully rugged guy at the weigh in.
