Whitaker by UD but i think he might get a little lackadaisal and be dropped like he did against mayweather.
Whitaker by decision,Tszyu would win rds, he would be in the fight the whole way thru but Whitakers slickness would be the key.
This is ridicilous.. Whitaker was hit repeatadly by Buddy McGirt who said was injured by a straight right.. Surprise Tszyu has best straight right in 140 history. Tszyu also has a brutal left to the body that slows fighters down quickly when it lands.. and absouluty genius at cutting off the ring.. he would give Whitaker a night mare. Of course Sweet Pea was a legend so Pernell winning is completely possible but Whitaker by a shut out is ridicilous Andrey
I think most would expect Tszyu to land his right hand on Pea, but the reality is that he likely takes it and smiles back. Pea got whacked by Tito Trinidad repeatedly and stood up to it whilst in a drug-addled condition, and so whilst Tszyu is a great hitter, and he definitely is, he doesn't pack the punch Tito does and so the likelihood of him turning the fight with right hand shots isn't really that strong of a possibility. As for the Whitaker-McGirt fights, McGirt had a great right hand, as sharp as Tszyu's (though not with the same power) but Buddy made that a fight due to his own caginess as well (and it was Buddy's left that was injured, not his right hand). Tszyu is a much more hittable target than Buddy McGirt and I'd expect him to get tagged much more frequently than Whitaker tagged McGirt. Tell you the truth, I think if anyone is in danger of being knocked out here, it's probably Tszyu, especially if Whitaker decided to get inside and work the body on him. Tszyu didn't have the best of stamina and if forced to fight at a high pace, he could gas (see Phillips and Urkal fights for example). All likelihood though, it goes the distance, Pea winning perhaps 9 rounds to 3, with Kostya scoring a knockdown or possibly two.
Whitaker by UD. As great as Kostya's straight right is, Whitaker stood up to taking about half the punches Tito Trinidad threw at him in a 12 round fight at the end of his career. I don't think Kostya is going to have any better luck at doing it while PErnell is still in his prime. Plus Whitaker is so much more mobile than Kostya that he makes it really hard for Tszyu to track him down. Pernell takes it about 9 rounds to 3, perhaps being dumped on the canvas once when he gets a little too careless and Tsyzu catches him just right.
