TAB Tips Tua to Take Down Barrett

TAB Tips Tua to Take Down Barrett

Boxer David Tua will need to take down Monte Barrett or hang up the gloves - speculates TAB - of the Tua V Barrett clash on 13 August at TelstraClear Pacific Events Centre, Manukau, Auckland.

The TAB has opened its books (Wednesday 20 July 2011) for REDEMPTION Tua V Barrett II - with Tua the $1.20 favourite to beat Barrett, who opens at $4.00.

TAB sports bookie, Kieran McAnulty, says this fight will ultimately be another defining moment in Tua’s career, as he sets to redeem himself with the only opponent to have knocked him down in 19 years:

"This is a defining fight for Tua because a loss could spell the end of his career. Barrett is a bit more than a journeyman and, as Tua found out, he can hit.

"Not since Wheel of Fortune has Tua been under this sort of pressure and he'll have to motivate himself as he did before the Shane Cameron fight.

"These two went the distance last time but Tua will be looking to make a statement by putting Barrett on the canvas."

Kiwis can witness this potential piece of boxing history in the making for as low as $50 a ticket (from ticketdirect). Or Sky TV viewers can watch at home for $29.95 on SKY Arena Channel 38 or in high definition on Channel 39, or as a spectator at a licensed premise.
