poor monte

[joe strong]

tua looks trim & that very well could mean I'm kissing 25000 points goodbye but Barrett looks in excellent shape too & has had a full training camp.vinny maddalone was sparring with Barrett & said he looked the best he's seen him in awhile.no excuses for either but monte hasn't been to effective his last several fights & I never like to here a guy talking about retirement before a fight.it usually means he's already retired.he has bulked up 8 pounds of muscle though so maybe he can survive but winning is almost impossible but when monte is motivated(hasn't been since valuev loss) he has proven critics wrong....I think I'm adding another loss to my betting record...LOL!

Why is Tua on a bum-killing spree? He's taking Donaire's place as boxing's favorite bum killer.

It's called re-building yourself.

If he went straight for Wlad he'd be a moron.

What he said, plus, Tua is ranked #2 right now...a title shot is on the horizon because he's not gonna lose to any of these tomato cans when he's coming in at 237. That is a great weight for him. Remember he was upwards of 250 when he fought Lewis.
