I thought Tua won, clearly at least in my eyes.
It was a close fight and he surely didn't win by a stretch but I thought it was clear enough.

As for the Ike VS Byrd fight, I think Byrd was hoping Ike would tire out. Ike was all over him and caught Byrd slippin. Even Byrd said he should've never got caught with such a hard punch coming from a slow guy.
Either, way it's all speculation now.
Didn't Ike get like 15 years or so?
He ain't coming out any time soon, and even if he did, he'd be another Tony Ayala.

As for the Mosley and Oscar fight, I actually thought Oscar won by 1 point. I felt that Mosley got a draw at best. I gave Oscar the first 5 rounds, then Mosley the next 4. The 10th round was a draw and round 11 clearly went to De La Hoya as easy as the 12th went to Mosley.
To me, it all depends how you score round 10, you give it to Mosley and it's a draw.
I've watched this fight time after time, and I still score it the same way. Actually a lot of people felt Oscar won by the slightest of margins but what the hell.
I'm not complainin, I look at it like this;
the fight was close going into the 12th round,
who ever won that round wins the fight. And Mosley won it so I can see him winning by a hair. But not 8 rounds to 4 though.

Either way, we'll see them go at it once again and that's what counts for us fight fans.
You're going to see Oscar use his boxing ability more this time, it's interesting to see how Mosley will counter that.

Big E,
Who you pick to win this weekend?
Tua or Rahman?
Tua's the 3 to 1 favorite.

Ike actaully could be getting out pretty soon. He has won some appeals but it was due to his mental capacity. So with the reduced sentence he could be out within a year, but he has to prove he is of sound mind and thats where it gets messy, but if a promoter spent some cash to get Ike a good Psch and lawyer who knows. He has weighed as much as 330 pounds though and with all of whats gone on I cant see him ever being a force again.

Oscar/Shane 1 I had Shane winning most of the end of the fight to get the win. After he changed up and Oscar started to brawl Shane pulled away. Oscar had the first 3 or 4 and Shane had the rest. I could see a round or two in there being close, but I still had Shane with a clear win.

As for Tua/Rahman, I am going with Rahman by decision. Reason being is simple and I think almost everyone will agree. Tua is a shitty fighter now. He loses rounds like nothing all in hopes for landing that one punch. It worked against Oquendo, but I dont think it will work again against Rahman. Plus Rahman has to get back on the map. After Lewis 2 and Holyfield (remember his head) Rahman has had court battles and been switching trainers. He has got to step up in this fight or he will fade away. All that being said, Tua is a punch away though from a victory.

Yo Ike has a good chance of still having something left in him if he's to come out soon.
He'll be ok and ready to start where he left off on if he gets with the right people.
Good info!

Rahman definately has the tools to beat Tua.
I'm not sure his conditioning is there though.
He didn't look good in his last fight with Holyfield.
I wanna drop lute on this fight but I'm concerded his shape for this fight.
What ever happens, it's gonna be a good fight for sure.
