I don't see charlo being able to outbox tim and if he cant' hurt tim he's in trouble

Timmy is improving each fight, but he still doesn't have enough to beat Charlo.

 

Charlo moves very well & is quick, nice jab, got great skills with strong power being obvious, he would still be the favorite going into it.

 

Charlo starts favourite but Tim is a live underdog. Let's not forget he went in against Tony Harrison coming in off a 12-month layoff. Not ideal. He's going to need to improve on what he showed against Harrison but maybe not by a whole lot. He's physically strong (I think Charlo is quite a bit physically stronger than Harrison), hits hard (sorry to those who think he doesn't but having seen all of his professional fights, the power is real & has consistently turned fights his way even when he hasn't taken the other guy out), is fast (good choices in sparring & not being off for 12 months can improve that further as will the recent 9 rounds against Tony Harrison who was nothing if not quick) & importantly, is tough. The kid can take a punch when his defence fails him. That's despite the fact he has been dropped twice in his career by light hitters (in the first round of fights against Wade Ryan & Terrell Gausha). He's also been hit very hard in the head by good punchers without it registering. I remember Horndog thudding a really good left hook into the side of his unprotected head in the second round of their fight that would have hurt a lot of fighters. There was no reaction to it at all. None. It was as though it didn't land. Horndog's chances of winning that fight went out the window right there.

Charlo's still the favourite but if he gets hit as often as he did in the first Brian Castano fight the belts are up for grabs. He'd also want to be ready to go in July b/c if Tszyu gets another one in against a live opponent before they meet, I don't think it bodes well for the current Undisputed champ.

My unbiased prediction? And the NEW...!

 

I think Tim had improved leaps and bounds from the Gausha fight. Shocking pace of development.

 

Tszyu is going to destroy Charlo it won't be close

 

Depends on how Charlo looks. I think Tim might be yet to reach his prime but Charlo has been inactive. Brian Castano gave him a thumping their first fight and I think Timmeh might be better than Castano. If Charlo comes in flat and Tzsyu is on fire we could see an assbeating.

 

Just hope the winner fights Fundora

 

Tim's not outboxing Charlo. Let's remember, Harrison is/was a shell of himself.
