	David Tua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Tua, born Mafaufau Tavita Lio Mafaufau Sanerivi Talimatasi on November 21, 1972 on the Island of Upolu, Western Samoa, is a former heavyweight boxing belt holder.
		Tua was badly battered in the fight, and lost a clear cut decision.
		Tua started slowly, scored a knockdown with his famous left hook in the second round, and put Gutierrez down for the count in the fourth round with a combination of two left hooks, one to the head and the decisive one to the body.

	David Tua vs. Danell Nicholson (March 23, 2001)
		Tua was dreadful in his loss to Lewis and while it appeared that he had streamlined his stocky physique somewhat, nevertheless, it took awhile before he was able to put his punches together.
		Tua became frustrated and with 1:23 to go in the 3rd, he clipped Nicholson, 33, was a solid elbow to the head after landing a left hook to the ear.
		Tua was relentless and just before the bell to end the round, he jolted Nicholson with a sharp left hook to the body.

	David Tua vs. Cisse Salif
		Tua staggered Rahman in the 7th, with a crushing right to the jaw but the onetime heavyweight champ managed to ride out the storm and seemingly battled his way back into the fight.
		Tua caught the previously undefeated heavyweight with a right hand to the temple and followed with a brutal barrage of shots until referee Dave Johnson mercifully halted the carnage at 1:54 of the ninth.
		Tua suffered the most disappointing defeat in his career when he came in at a plump 245 pounds and painfully short against heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis back in November 2000.

	David Tua not the only one rueing involvement with Martin Pugh
		David Tua discovered he had lost control of his $20 million earnings after raiding the offices of Tuaman Inc. In court documents, he accuses Martin Pugh of forgery and misappropriating money in all directions.
		Tua, in his affidavit, says Barry changed during the journey in which Tua came to be ranked in the top tier of professional boxers.
		Tua's chartered accountant, Tony Forlong, says in an affidavit filed in the High Court that the property's value may be seriously restricted by the possibility it could be designated a coastal reserve and the unlikelihood of gaining consent for large-scale subdivision.

	CNNSI.com - More Sports - Tua talking like a champ even before the fight - Friday November 03, 2000 08:48 AM
		Tua constantly referred to himself in the third person while discussing the fight, a trait shared by a number of champions before him.
		Tua, the No. 1-ranked challenger, has been training the last two months at a ranch outside Las Vegas for Lewis, who held the undisputed title before a judge stripped him of the WBA crown.
		Tua, who stands 5-foot-11 but has hair that adds another five inches or so to his stature, said he will weigh about 240 for Lewis, who at 6-foot-5 will tower over the challenger.

		Tua, who at first had been trying to jab as well, is now just apparently waiting for a chance to land a big one.
		Tua did not agree with the prevailing opinion that he didn't deserve the draw: "I think I landed the bigger and the harder shots." Yet Tua did admit that he should have been more aggressive."...

	Pacific Magazine: NEW ZEALAND: Managers Question Judge's David Tua Ruling
		Assuming Tua succeeded on that basis and Pugh and Barry were found not to owe the company anything, a possible best case scenario for his clients may be that they each receive 25 per cent of remaining company assets after payment to Tua, about $1.3 million, with Tua receiving the balance of $2.6 million.
		The assumption Tua is owed $1.7 million by the company is based on an assessment by court-appointed accountants who also concluded that Pugh and Barry together owe Tuaman Inc about $2 million.
		Tua will argue he was never bound by it and it was void from the outset because of - as the judge put it - "undue influence and other factors".

		David Tua and Hasim Rahman both want a shot at Chris Byrd and the International Boxing Federation heavyweight title, but they seem to be heading in different directions to get there.
		Tua, who weighed in at a solid 245 pounds yesterday, is climbing his way back up the rankings while Rahman, who scaled a career-heavy 259.5 pounds, continues an ever so slow descent down the list.
		Tua is promoted by Cedric Kushner Promotions who used to handle those duties for Rahman until he beat Lewis and signed with Don King, only increasing the lawsuits between the two outfits.

		Tua, who turns 28 in two weeks, has fought four times the past two years, and three of those foes were pugs named Gary Bell, Shane Sutcliffe and Robert Daniels.
		Ike Ibeabuchi handed Tua a controversial 1997 decision loss, but it could not be argued Tua's passiveness gave away the early rounds.
		Tua's squat frame could make him hard to move and knock down, and even if he is the second coming of George Chuvalo in terms of chin, Lewis still should pick the challenger apart.

		As he promised, Tua came out blazing against his friend and onetime mentor, blasting him with a right hand to the chin followed by a left hook to the top of the head that left Moorer out cold, draped over the bottom rope and surely finished as a contender.
		For Tua (No. 6 USA TODAY, 41-3, 36 KOs), the knockout was easily his most spectacular since he destroyed John Ruiz in 19 seconds in 1996.

		Tua was supposed to be able to equalize everything a boxer could do with his pressure and his power, but he didn’t.
		At the time, Tua was on a solid winning streak having disposed of three opponents in devastating fashion, most notably being the first fighter to stop Fres Oquendo, and destroying former champ and current contender Michael Moorer in less than a minute.

		If Tua was to become a great grappler and had good take down defense, he would frustrate guys and force them to fight on their feet, which would be absolute murder.
		Let's imagine that Tua was also a "great grappler" with a good "takedown" defense.
		He'd be very aware of lowkicks, highkicks, submissions etc...Therefore,The Tua we all know, would be fighting like an mma fighter, only with way more accurate punches and more Ko power behind his shots.
