Tszyus opponent is another Joey Spencer. He's fought nobodies. Apparently his last 3 opponents have been guys ranked in the 600's.

Easy win for Tim unless his chin is gone.

Velasquez is scared. Fake smile and laugh.

Boxing Tszyu 2nite.

Hopefully a decent fight

Terence Crawford retires. A gentlemen and a legend.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Fox Sports and Tszyu putting up so many youtube videos it's ridiculous. For sports trying desperately to salvage their lost dollars on Tszyu.

Boxing Tszyu 2nite.

I bought it.. Tszyu was the only one I wanted to watch.... it'll be interesting how he looks / what his punch resistance is like... I want to see Tim get hit a few times to see where he's at.

Nikita is so odd.. way he talks is just weird.

Lol

Fenech was brought is an as adviser which lasted all of one photo lol. He was happy and slammed Tszyu again. He's not going to the fight.

What was the reason? Didn't want Tim to rush back I'm assuming? 5 months is quick, he did get punched alot against Fundora but by all accounts this is a level below fighter he has cherry picked.

Not sure why they didn't involve Fenech I think at the time it was something they just wanted to do. And I think Fenech is just pissed that they asked for his help then didn't use him. fenech also reckons Tim hasn't changed a thing. At least tim is ducking punches now. I've never seen him duck before hiring Pedro Diaz.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Tszyu saying he never had a game plan before now is stupid also. How can a world champ not have one. If he didn't have a game plan after Fundora 1 that speaks for itself.

Anyway I hope he wins tonight and I think he'll knock him out and probably early and all the best to him from here on in. Wpuld be good if he wins a world title again and I hope he does. Unlikely though. But I want him to preserve his health above all. He's a good bloke.

I reckon Tim will cruise through this one. Sorry to state the obvious but it will be a hard road ahead for glory if he doesnt.
His younger brother on the other hand is looking the goods.

Zerafa is finished but still dangerous for the inexperienced Nikita in comparison. A lot at stake in that one.

 

[Around the Wicket]

To be fair he was still defending himself and throwing back, clear example of a biased stoppage

I reckon Zerafa beats him by KO tbh

Zerafa by past accounts is a bit unproven against southpaws, but in saying that he is no slouch and has a ton of experience as opposed to Nikita. Will be a very interesting bout.

If I was to put money on it, yes.. but my heart is hoping like hell Nikita gets it done.

What happened?

What happened?

Crap stoppage in the undercard, Peter’s was well on top though so no big controversy

 

[Around the Wicket]

Blizzard giving Goodman a good fight here, ultra close.. Goodman being the A side will get the nod though you’d think

 

[Around the Wicket]

Goodmans corner calling this a shutout is interesting.. this is close hope Blizzard gets it

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

I've always liked Tim. I hope he gets it done.

Walkouts now.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Wonder if Tim had any concerns picking a trainer that can’t speak English

18-0-1 but very padded, no one decent on that resume so this could be over quick
