Hey John, welcome!

Auckland to Las Vegas is quite a trip. I too was considering heading out to Vegas for this one (only a 4 1/2 hour trip from LaGuardia to Vegas), but decided to wait for a Lewis-Tyson or Tua-Tyson bout to invest in that sort of fight-related travel.

As I mentioned earlier to Jorj, this is one fight that I hope I'm wrong about. I'd like to see Tua win, but think that the odds are stacked decidedly against him. In fact, that Tua's main opportunity is predicated upon a topic which is debated: the ability of Lewis to take a punch.

If it turns out that Lewis can take all but a direct blow, Big Dave will have to land quite a few, and in rapid succession - not, as I see it, in line with his style of fighting. I'm also expecting him to run out of steam by the fourth round.

But, this is why I enjoy the sport.
