Who you with? Very intriguing match where I would favour Pea but Kostya used to be da man in that division.
Sweet Pea all day. Too slick, too fast, too much for Tszyu. I loved watching Kostya — real bombs-away guy who walked people down and unleashed, but he’d be following Pea around like a puppy dog eating right jabs and quick combos. I also think Whitaker’s (often underrated) body work comes into play here to keep Tszyu honest and give Pernell an edge when Kostya does get in range. This is similar to Pea vs Azumah — not a shutout but Tszyu is just made for Whitaker and it’s one the sweet Virginian will want to hang on his wall as a masterpiece.
