    I didn't see Mendoza at the stare down because he was out of my vision. **** completely different from seeing him just chilling. TBH, Tszyu looked a little bit like Harrison did when they faced off. And then after it. Harrison was talking **** and gesturing. Only slightly, but that's what Tim did this time. When said '' This is my land ''

    Mendoza's got a lot of resolve. Stern, unfazed. You can't always make a lot of stare downs etc and fighters can be depleted mentally and physically so it can be very deceiving. I think Tim will be right once he rehydrates and gets calories and rest into him. And this condradicts what I said above. But I'm seeing a very dangerous opponent in Mendoza.

    Tim's virtually fighting himself.

    I said the same & it was long before the Spence fight was even made.

    Both guys look physically and emotionally primed for war. This has all the hallmarks of a great contest.

    I have a sneaky suspicion Mendoza is going to pull off the upset. Just a feeling.

    Wouldn't be surprised. I'm not nearly as confident as some of the other Tszyu supporters on here. Just hoping for a good fight more than anything else - hard to hate either guy. Both are a credit to the sport.

    Yeah I gotta say I'm truly a fan of Mendoza for life now. Obviously I want Tim to win. But regardless what happens full respect to Mendoza. He had mine once I heard him speak on the first face off in America. The guy's truly a gentlemen.

    The best calibre of opponents they're facing to date. They're fighting a split version of themselves. Honestly I said Mendoza should be $3.40 the other day instead of $6 but now I reckon he should be about $2.10. That's how close I got it. If not a pick em. Probably the latter or Tszyu slight favourite at $1.85 to Mendoza $1.95.

    I will stick with my original prediction of a Tszyu win as I foresee him fighting the likes of Crawford or Canelo. But **** this Mendoza kid has me worried.

    But Tszyu to win!
