David Tua is fighting Alexander Ustinov in August.Would love Tua to win but I don't understand DUCO events selection of opponents. Alexander Ustinov is not an amazing boxer - but he's in the top 10 ranked heavyweights and he's 6'7''. It's pretty well documented David Tua at 5'10'' struggles with big opponents, so DUCO picks one of the biggest. There are plenty of heavyweights who are ranked highly and are under 6'5'' - would have been better off throwing money at them. Being talked about as his last shot - and apparently he's in the best shape he's been in since 2009. But to be honest he'd have been better off getting into shape quicker rather than wait nearly two years between fights...hope he wins so he can get a payday against the Klitschko's but he'd have to pretty much be at his best and get aggressive while closing the gap - otherwise Alexander Ustinov will have an easy points victory.
