    I voted Tszyu. This Thurman comeback reminds me of David Haye’s, when he was on the road to fight Joshua, but was derailed, twice, against Tony Bellew.

    I think that Thurman might do well early but as the rounds go on Tszyu will get closer and closer landing his clubbing shots to the body and he will hurt Thurman. Then one of two things will happen Thurman will get on his bike and Tszyu will win a decision or Thurman will try and fight fire with fire and get stopped late by the younger bigger man. I could even see Thurman getting injured during the fight and the doctor having to stop it as he has had a few surgeries.

    i would rather see thurman fight claresa shields. shes been hollerin for that smoke.
    tim should take this. thurman is old, and tim just fits into the level that gets out of reach for old guys. but who knows, tim can be outboxed.

    Thurman getting visibly buzzed and hurt multiple times against Brock in the first round makes me think Tszyu gets the KO. I don't think he will sleep on Thurman now that Tszyu has been humbled.

    Thurman always had a glass body. If Tszyu can exploit it he could win. Not a fan of either but I'll take Keith by upset tko.

    Yeah, no doubt.

    Tim is stronger and has a lot more power but Keith is a highly intelligent fighter.

    I just don’t see Thurman doing anything to keep Tim of him. No question who has the better skill but it isn’t going to be enough.

    I wouldn't get too excited over Thurman's win over Jarvis.

    The smart money says Tszyu in this one but Thurman still presents some danger.

    Going to be very funny if Keith puts Tszyu lights out. A real guy would try and avenge his losses though.
