    Tszyu is what he is at this point. Never gonna get that belt back but he’s always gonna pulverize guys at or around this level.

    Nurja is pretty tough. No quit in the guy

    Tim seems to of lost a lot of the improvements he made recently

    granted he probably doesn’t respect his opponents power but I don’t see it working against Spence even post accident

    Is he trying to go rounds with that cut on his cheek or did he bet on the Over 6.5 rounds?

    Round 1 - 10-9 Tszyu
    Round 2 - 10-9 Tszyu
    Round 3 - 10-9 Tszyu
    Round 4 - 10-8 Tszyu
    Round 5 - 10-9 Tszyu
    Round 6 - 10-9 Tszyu
    Round 7 - 10-9 Tszyu and one point deducted from Nurja for holding.

    Tszyu - 70-61

    The point deduction was ridiculous. The holding has not been egregious nor has it slowed down the action.

    Taking a chance of opening that cut worse, letting this guy hang around.

    I got caught up in the hype because of his dad but he isnt what I thought he was, but he gave fundora as good a go as anyone else, and the cut he got was a gift in a way, because it stopped him from getting snapped

    If he isn't carrying and injury that prevented a full camp etc...he's looking very average. He's got a body in front of him and he can't finish him.

    I don't like this version of Tim against Spence, even with the long layoff for Spence. He might be fresh...Tim is fighting stale.

    Tszyu is deciding to not finish this fight. It's got nothing to do with his skill set.

    Round 1 - 10-9 Tszyu
    Round 2 - 10-9 Tszyu
    Round 3 - 10-9 Tszyu
    Round 4 - 10-8 Tszyu
    Round 5 - 10-9 Tszyu
    Round 6 - 10-9 Tszyu
    Round 7 - 10-9 Tszyu and one point deducted from Nurja for holding.
    Round 8 - 10-9 Tszyu Close

    Tszyu - 80-70

    The good news for Nurja is that he can get a draw if he knocks Tim down four times in each of the next two rounds.
