    This is going to be a good fight I got my man Tszyu Jnr winning by late stoppage also Tszyu winning by decision wouldn't surprise me because Inoue is tough.

    What are your predictions boyo's?

    I'd say he probably wins pretty wide on the cards Middy.

    If he boxes, uses his speed and kit of punches he should outpoint Inoue pretty clearly. He has the comfort of knowing any close rounds won't be going against him at home.

    But if he chooses to make a statement and abandons his defence like he has in his last couple of fights. He could be dragged into a tussle he doesn't want to be in.

    Good fight and it will be in the middle of the week.

    Tszyu could be next champion.

    Timmy Torpedo will send the Japanese boxing fleet back into the shallow water of the lower weight divisions. Where the gnomes roam at Strawweight & Mini Flyweight.

    If Inoue's to pull the upset, a couple of things need to happen. Firstly, he's going to have to land something big early. He's got power in the right hand but it's a looping overhand right that can be contrasted with Timmy's faster, straighter punches. Secondly, even if Inoue is able to land a big punch, it needs to do damage. Horndog landed a really good left hook on Junior's unprotected noggin very early in their fight that thudded into the side of his head but had no ill effects. Big problem if you land one of your best punches clean like that & nothing happens.

    I think Timmy's faster, straighter punches will carry the day although you can't rule the other guy out completely. He looked too slow to me last start to do anything but has apparently been sparring in the UK in preparation for this fight so may have a few extra gears that we haven't seen since the Mexican Mungo fight. If he can find them on the night he may present a tougher challenge than what I'm expecting. He's also posted a few wins since the Mungo fight which puts him in a much better position to do something than say, what Dennis Hogan was.

    I think it's Tool Time on Wednesday night.

    Tszyu beats him badly.
