Majority Draw

Then Zab Judah storms the ring with a baseball bat and starts playing baseball. Against himself. It's going to be that kind of circus.

 

He won't be the only Aussie featured in a prominent position on the card either, with long-time rival Michael Zerafa reportedly in line for a WBA middleweight title bout against current champion Erislandy Lara in the co-main, according to Boxing Scene.

At this stage, neither fight has been formally announced by either Tszyu or Zerafa's promoters - but all signs point to an Aussie takeover in Sin City later this year.

 

It's a rubbish fight Drenlou tbh as a Tim Tszyu fan I'm ashamed and it's a disgrace from the promoters taking up this kind of **** show. He's going to be 36 in November but as Fogger pointed out it's the inactivity. One fight in 4 and a half years? Now they reckon that Tszyu's rival is fighting as the Co-main event and he's fighting a 40 year old bum in Lara. Another has been. What's that telling us? Tszyu vs Zerafa may happen this year. I'd love that tbh as that was supposed to happen 3 years ago but Zerafa bitched out.

Tszyu will K.O Thurman at worst he gets an easy points decision. But this fight is a disgrace.

 

I'm okay with it. Thurman is a recognisable name who's only ever been beaten once & on points. If King Timmy wins, it will set up a bigger fight for him in the American summer. Hopefully Budrick. If not, we could see King Timmy line up against the winner of Michael Zerafa v Erislandy Lara. Looking forward to both fights on 30 March (31 March our time) & what comes afterwards.

You're talking about a guy in King Timmy who has fought in America a grand total of one time (get it?) in his career. It's a completely different caper fighting over there notwithstanding the result on The Boxing Scoreboard last year. For his second ever appearance in the Land of the Doodle, Keith Thurman is an acceptable opponent for him. The Bud Crawford super-fight needs time to marinate.

 

Ocampo will be pleased. He’ll no longer hold the record as Tzsyu’s quickest and most brutal KO.

Timmy's mum's still holding him.


'' It's alright Carlos. Tim take good punch. Give good punch ''

 

Her English is very good actually. It just sounds better if I make it sound Russian.

 

A decent fight where Tszyu shouldn't find himself in a situation where he can get robbed. He'll get good exposure to the US market against a well known name.

 

If Thurman could still have the same explosiveness and footwork, he could very well spring the upset against Timmy. Keith looked very good against Barrios, performed much better than Davis did. If Tszyu doesn't take this fight completely seriously he could very well lose it. Especially since this is a PBC show and Thurman is one of Haymon's favorites. Thurman headlined the first ever PBC show, now almost 10 years later he will do it again on Amazon.

WAR THURMAN!

 

The chances of Tszyu not taking Thurman seriously are zero.

And the chances of Thurman seeing the second half of the fight are not much more than that.

This is going to be a fearful disaster for One Time. I hope the ref is looking out for him so that no long lasting damage is done.

It’s got a very similar profile to when Tim’s legendary father fought Chavez. Chavez had no right being there but got the fight based on his name. It was the worst beating Chavez ever took.

This just feels similar. I hope for Thurman’s sake Tszyu executes him quickly and that the guy in the middle is looking out for him as well.

 

Hope part-time is getting paid well for this as he's going to get hurt.

Going from fighting once every 4 years to fighting at a higher weight against an active, prime, best in division fighter won't end well.
