    It's mad how he performed better with one eye and almost won as opposed to the 2nd time. Confidence and chin took a hit as mentioned. He would have won easily if not for the cut and got a huge pay day and fought Crawford with massive confidence.

    His corner really ****ed his career.

    Fundora can say whatever he wants, but he was getting schmacked in that first fight. A stoppage win for Tim appeared to be forming. Tall boy throwin elbows changed that outcome.

    I dont like Keith but I really dislike Fundora. Hes a weight bully who should be fighting at 166-175 with his frame. Hoping Keith overcomes adversity with an overhand shot and ends this "towering" nonsense.

    He wasn't ever what his supporters wanted him to be.

    Oddly technical but slow moving style. Reminded me of a lesser Danny Garcia.

    Yep he is easily one of the biggest weight bullies in the sport he just happens to come across as a nice bloke compared to other weight bullies. The reality is up until the cut in the first fight the way Tim was handling him was incredible it was going to be a one sided beat down he was out boxing the big lad and broke his nose.

    When Fundora said Tszyu has no power, I found that deplorable. Dude was getting hammered in the first fight before his lucky bony ass elbow cut. Kinda pathetic.
