    Tim Tszyu takes more risks than any fighter in the game today.

    Yet here we are again with the same bottomfeeding ingrates tearing him down.

    These morons wouldn’t know a prizefighter if he landed in their soup. It’s ****ing ridiculous.

    Tim Tszyu is literally everything that is great about the sport.

    Yeah exactly he could easily of just sat back in Australia collecting fat checks for defending his belt against mandatory’s on No Limit PPV.
    He is doing what they say in America “daring to be great” going to the fight capital in the US Las Vegas to headline against a dangerous opponent. He literally chased the number one guy Charlo out of the division because he didn’t want to fight him. There is not much else Tim can do he has the spirit of warrior which is why I will always support him win or lose.

    You didn’t know that Fundora had a fight coming up how is talking about Fundora in a thread about him fighting Tszyu derailing it?
    If Tszyu is straight up and down like you say he is then he has no chance against Fundora who is big and awkward.

    Tim will wear down Fundira then tap him out around the 8th or 9th round. Too bad Thurman opted out. He should retire as he never fights anyway.

    And what are you going to say? Timmy is gonna take his soul and knock him out in 1 round?? You're nothing but an Australian fight fanboy and a American fighter hater period. I think Timmy will beat fundora but his size will give Timmy some issues early. He's very easy to hit and likes to slug it out too much giving away his extreme reach advantage by not working behind a jab he has a dumb trainer who should've taught how to fight tall the first day he stepped foot in the gym with his size.

    No I didn't because I didn't pay attention to who else was on the card because Timmy thurman was a huge mismatch. My only interest in it was to see thurman koed.

    Tim and his manager don't take sidesteps. He isn't around for the long haul. His aim is to get the job done and get out.

    WTF? Fundora was fighting Bohachuk for the vacant WBC title in two weeks which has now been called off so Bohachuk has been left out in the cold after spending an entire camp training for a world title shot and will have to wait a lot longer for his shot now and this is after Jermello held the belts hostage for the last two years. Bohachuk is apparently fighting Mendoza next. That's really messed up.

    I am. I said he was fighting Mendoza

    So Tszyu vs Fundora is a unification fight now, Bohachuk has spent an entire camp training for a world title fight against Fundora, Fundora was knocked out in his previous fight, Mendoza lost to Tszyu in his last fight, so why not Tszyu vs Bohachuk instead? Unless they offered the Tszyu fight to Bohachuk and he turned it down which I don't get the impression they did, they've screwed him right over.

    You did say that. My bad.

    But I think everyone wins.

    Fundora fights the man at 154 who beat Mendoza.

    Bohachuk fights the man who beat Fundora.

    The winner of that fight gets the winner of Fundora-Tszyu.

    No worries

    Problem is Bohachuk got his hopes up waiting for his world title shot, spent an entire camp training for it only to be told it had been called off with less than two weeks to go and his opponent is now fighting for both belts against Tszyu and he's not fighting for any which must be incredibly disappointing, and he's got to fight Mendoza at very late notice instead who is a quality fighter, so different from the fighter he spent an entire camp training for, and is a dangerous punching KO artist who could potentially beat him.

    And I heard that Crawford has petitioned the WBO to face the winner of Tszyu vs Fundora next. They should've offered the Tszyu fight to Bohachuk given how both Fundora and Mendoza lost their last fights and Bohachuk has won his last five. Stylistically it's a really exciting match up too

    Tim and Paulie are annoying af. Chris is head and shoulders above both those clowns.

    With that said, Sebastián sounds very likeable and I hope he pulls the upset.
