And there you have it folks. David Tua defeats Shane Cameron by way of TKO seven seconds into the second round. The fight of the century is over and David has silenced his critics and shown everyone that he should be given a shot at the title.
David knocked Shane out twice near the end of the first round without mercy, brutally flattening him with left and right power combinations. Shane was a sad mess. After the second knock down there was a little confusion as to whether it should continue. The referee held the fight up unsure perhaps or unable to hear what should happen next. The delay caused the bell to ring and gave Shane a chance to crawl to his corner with an infinitesimal amount of respite.
The second round came and seven seconds later, Shane kissed the canvas in a world of hurt.
If you did not see the fight, you must watch it whether it be through highlights, a replay, or by way of YouTube. The amount of speed, power, and accuracy David possessed was pehnomenal. This was clearly the best fight I have ever seen. Shane put up his guard somewhat, but David's power plowed through his gloves with pinpoint accuracy via left and right combinations.
The undercard by the way was John Hopoate and Colin Wilson. Expecting Hopoate to win, I am sure many were surprised when the older Wilson destroyed Hopoate by knockout.
Great fight night for New Zealand, and a bright future for David Tua.
