    Thanks for the video, I'm a bit more optimistic as to Thurman's chances; as long as Keith's footwork is still there then he can at least keep himself safe and go the distance. If Keith hasn't become hesitant to throw and his power carries up to 154 then I think he has a chance to take the fight; Tszyu was very wary of Mendoza's power and speed in the early rounds of their bout, and if Thurman can instil the same hesitancy in Tszyu then he can definitely bank rounds IMO.

    Hmmm I disagree in this one. I think that, even if Thurman loses, he is the figther with better knowledge, and he could easily handle the fight so that he is never KOed, so I would discard Tim winning by KO.

    The most likely scenario (because Thurman is retired) imho is Tim winning by UD. Nevertheless, people like to underestimate Thurman. That guy was a real talent at his prime, and a real talent based on boxing knowledge, ring awareness, punch selection and a lot of attributes that do not depend on youth. I wouldnt be surprised AT ALL if Thurman won a UD here.

    At his prime I'm 100% sure that Thurman eats Zoo alive for breakfast, but he is well passed his prime since long ago.

    Thurman is 6/1, I take my chances, I say Thurman wins by UD. Me against everything and against everybody.

    Another awesome video thanks for posting Rummy!

    Agreed I think Tszyu stops Thurman, but I see it happening early to mid rounds. Inactivity is the killer against these older guys, very hard to come back from being so inactive.
