Tim card is pretty underwhelming tbh. Definitely watching the main event though

Tim Tszyu v Harrison this weekend, hoping the pub down the beach is showing it. I think Tszyu gets outclassed, I don't think he's at that level.

Good odds on Harrison if you believe this

Wow, that's surprising to me, hmm might have a little go.

Dunno mate, that form through Gausha is very good (draw with Trout who had been the distance with Canelo and then both Charlo brothers). Aside from the early knockdown Tszyu pummeled him.

Reckon Tszyu wins and fairly easily (mid-round stoppage). Harrison isn't any better than Gausha despite the win over Charlo which was avenged by the champion. Harrison also has only had two fights in the last 3 1/2 years. Two fights back he literally scrambled to a draw with Perrella who is third tier (#28 according to BoxRec) at best. He was also knocked out by Jarrett Hurd. I doubt Hurd would beat Tszyu.

It's sort of a tricky fight for Tim but one that he really should be winning convincingly.

I think the crowd might sway a few close rounds Tims way. Theyll go nuts on everything he does and silence for Tony. Has to be difficult for judges with sub optimum views at times...

Tony has to finish or win 8 rounds at least. Im not sure Tim is absolute world level yet (this fight will tell us) but when cards are semi likely to fall his way i think hes the rightful fav, without necessarily being the more talented. He has a good style for judges too

Been sat down twice, bit of an issue...

Harrison has also been sat down a few times.

I reckon Tim will catch him at some point and I have little doubt he's a better finisher based on what I have seen of Harrison. As I said, the form through Gausha is actually very strong. Hopefully it's a good fight and the Aussie can get it done.

Harrison sat down by better guys but yeah tim hits hard enough i think. At the very least he accumulates enough shots to wear guys down. I think he wins a decision this weekend but not uber confident

I think Charlo catches him for a TKO however sadly

Tim’s a very good chance against Harrison. Let it play out I say.

Well it’s always 50/50 init? Tim got the crowd and the hometown hype.
Harrison must be overly convincing to win this which is not really fair but it is what it is.

Harrison the guy who banged Charlo up, it’s gotta be on Tim’s mind.

Thanks for this. Had no idea this was on, something to watch now. Jarvis got wiped out by Paro last time out so needs a win

Tony Harrison is a typical, brash, arrogant American. But it’s very difficult to dislike him.

Watched his two charlo fights and Harrison ain’t no slouch . Be interesting to see Tim fight him . Can Tim walk through him whilst taking damage. Going to be a banger .

What a round!

Absolute bombs being thrown here

Watched the last half of the main event in a cab, forgot all about it. Apparently Jarvis was in trouble early? Anyway he got a good stoppage win so good on him, wonder if they're ballsy enough to go for Paro again?

Nah he got wobbled in R2 and constantly hit. He cant step up again for a while or he will get smashed

Paro should also be looking ahead rather than rematches so doubt hes interested.

Yeah Jarvis looks good but if you don't have a chin you'll never be world class. It's a shame, don't reckon you can really fix that either. Well you could learn to box like Floyd Mayweather I guess haha

Paro was booked to fight Brit, Robbie Davies Jr, this weekend in UK (co-main I think). Paro pulled out a week or two back with facial fracture. Foley from Ireland has stepped in to replace.

I like Jarvis, he did well to survive and get it done. Hard to see him mixing with the top end tho.

He did well but was lucky to escape if that makes sense .
Ive only seen him briefly before before , a slightly better opponant would have had him out of there .

6am tomorrow. Been following Darragh ever since he based himself here. Hope he can pull off an upset, would be massive for him at age 34 but Davies Jr is very good.

Is Foley the guy that bought a birthday cake out for his opponant at the weigh in late last year ?
Seems a character
