Review: 2009-10-03, the fight between David Tua and Shane Cameron was exciting for the impressive KO of the Samoan, who knocked down Cameron at the beginning of the second round. David Tua (49-3-1) could remember Mike Tyson for the amount of Ko that he had in his record and also for his style of fighting, but against stronger opponents he has never been convincing. Shane Cameron (23-1-0), however, was a good boxer and still today is at thirteenth place of the boxrec’s ranking (cruiserweight division); Tua vs Cameron was valid for the WBO Asia Pacific and WBO Oriental heavyweight title.
