Barrett gets ko'd in that fight, i'd be surprised at any other outcome
I'm sure he hits hard enough, and it must be impressive to feel his power from the mitts/bag but Tua is one of the hardest hitters of his era and hits a lot harder
I run a fitness center in Springfield NJ that has a partnership with a school called Jersey Fight Club that's owned and operated by (UFC Ref) Kevin Mulhall... Not many people know this, but he's an extremely accomplished Muay Thai competitor and also a phenomenal strength and conditioning coach...
I've trained with him for a little over a year and at this point I'm used to taking some ridiculous head and body shots.. Long story short..... Monte Barrett is training at my place for his upcoming fight with David Tua in Atlantic City and today, I was priveleged enough to hold the mitts and the heavy-bag for him as he was unloading on it.... I gotta be honest.... I've NEVER seen or felt anything like it! It's absolutely amazing that this guy isn't known as a KO puncher because he hits like a goddamn cement truck! Needless to say my hands are still red and numb....And I have a HUGE red/purple welt across my chest from standing behind the bag!
I'm an MMA person and I always have been... I've trained with some fantastic mixed martial artists too. But there is a CLEAR difference between how a HW Boxer and a HW mixed martial artist throw punches. Bigger gloves or not, I would NOT want Monte to hit me AT ALL!!
I hear Monte is a pretty big underdog for this fight but again.... I'm not the biggest follower of boxing on the planet... Does anyone have an opinion on this fight that they'd care to share? Look forward to hearing it...
