David Tua vs. Bruce Seldon

Post by scorpio83 »

12 Rounds Heavyweight Bout

Seldon would have his moments outboxing Tua behind his jabs and combinations on the outside through the first 3 rounds, but in the 4th Tua would overwhelm Seldon by cutting off the ring to land body shots and setting him up with a big left hook that knocks Seldon out. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Tua would force his way inside and win by knockout. It's probably over by the fifth round, if not earlier.

Seldon had a great left-jab, which he could use to dominate the action from long-range. But I don't think Bruce was good enough a technical boxer to outfinesse Tua for the entire bout. Inevitably Tua figures out to close the distance, and once that happens, it's lights out for Seldon.
