    I thought he looked good also. I think if Spence beats him it will be a hometown decision type deal. Everything being fair, I think Tim beats Spence.

    Glad he's going to get a pay day vs Spence. He deserves it. 2 years ago his corner ruined his ****ing career. He would have got Fundora out of there. He would have got the mega pay day. A fight with Crawford. He would have lost that. Who's to say he doesn't Fight Bakhram afterwards. I don't feel he gets pummelled though.


    whoever loses next is Spence goods.

    Fenech isn't a happy man after they brought him in as a consultant then never used him.

    Sam Goodman never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

    Yeah I heard Fenech’s comments he didn’t say Tim looked bad and he thinks he can take Spence but for some reason Jeff doesn’t like Pedro Diaz.

    I didn't see the fight. I was just joking. He needs to fight the Monster to secure that pay day.

    I caught some highlights, looks like the recklessness has been beaten out of Tim, but unfortunately he seems not to have improved technique wise.

    After watching some highlights it looked like Tim Flogged him. He hardly got hit. I feel a lot of the criticism is unfair. I will say I can't notice any difference with his new trainer. But Tszyu won easily and hit Nurdja with some good shots.

    After his recent losses Tszyu needed to tighten things up, get some rounds and win. He did all 3.

    Fenech has plenty of value but he's also a difficult and overbearing person. He's also self serving.

    Many of his clients would attest to that. I could understand if any coach or fighter moved away from Fenech. Fenech will claim some victory or vindication later on anyway.

    Tbh I'm not sold on Diaz as Tim's trainer. Tim's lost muscle. I noticed it in the interviews during the week. His body didn't fill out come fight time like it has in the past also.I like Igor better. Also was Nikita at the fights today? I didn't see him on the highlights.

    Fenech was a hero of mine as a kid. He's a living legend of boxing however Tim Tszyu has done something that Jeff Fenech never could, remain a viable fighter after being beaten.
