Fundora vs Tszyu II on July 19th

Tim won't go down as a great but he will be remembered as someone who really wanted to find out what he could achieve.

He could have sat back at home and made 7 figures a fight taking on the Joey Spencer and Keith Thurman's of the world.

He didn't need to fight a dark horse banana peel like Murtazaliev but he did it because he wasn't afraid of the unknown.
Murts murked him and I just don't see that as a fight he can ever win but Fundora is a certainly a wrong he may be able the right.

I think Seb should rightly start as favourite for this rematch.

They said Tim would never get anywhere
Well that's fair and they just don't care
That Aussie fans know and I know better.

 

Yep could've fought Thurman next then Zerafa make some big money at a lower risk but he ain't about that he was ready to take on Charlo before the Harrison fight. If Tszyu beats Fundora he will have no problem fighting Virgil Ortiz he would even be crazy enough to rematch Murtazaliev.
Tim is the kind of guy that would bust in and rob Feech La manna's card game. The kid has balls of steel.

 

I’m not yet convinced Tim can’t be great. And I think he’s good enough to avenge both losses.

Nice Screaming Jets reference mate, sadly it will be lost on most in here.

 

Yep huge fight for the division both guys coming off confidence building TKO wins and this time they both have a full camp to prepare for each other both are still in their prime. It's a very dangerous fight for both men.

 

Premier division. We are spoiled for match ups

Really? Bakram made him his bittch, he'll never step back into the ring with him and righty so..... In saying that, he can beat the beanstalk in a 50/50 contest.

 

I don’t think Tszyu is at all scared of getting back in there with Bakram. Yes, he was beaten up but I think a large part of that loss was self-inflicted. He tried to walk Bakram down and didn’t revert to a defensive gameplan to weather the storm. Hence he copped what he copped. I suspect he’d fight a different fight given his time over.

But first things first, he needs to take care of Fundora.

 

I don't think he is scared, either. But it's hard to see him win a rematch against martazaliev. Tszyu is not the greatest defensive boxer and murtazalievs punches are quick and long.

Tszyu's style actually demands him going forward and pressuring and he doesn't naturally mix in defense as much as would be needed to stop murtazaliev from hurting him, I believe.

I think he could have fought better in their fight, more focussed. He seemed distracted and some of his actions and approaches seemed arbitrary to me. He also talked about other fights down the line before fighting murtazaliev. But still murtazaliev looked to be super dangerous and a bad style matchup for tszyu.

Fundora - tszyu is a great matchup. Good that it at least happens now, since the first fight should already have led to an immediate rematch.

 

Despite how you feel about Tim Tszyu and his promoters, No Limit Boxing needs to be credited with getting Tim Tszyu a world title shot after losing two world title fights in a row.

Tszyu should KO Fundora under 6 rounds.

 

Think he does.

 

Win or lose Tim has proved you wrong already.

 

Tszyu is indeed not scared of rematching Bakram, but to be honest I don't really give him much chance to avenge the loss.
Fundora is a 50-50 proposition at this time, great fight.
