I was hoping for a Tszyu rematch after the cut impacted his previous fight.
Txuyu is out of the circle
Now is Vergil
If he wins his next fight this Saturday against hard hitter bokcachik then I think Vergil will fight Crawford
For a super fight in Las Vegas that’s the only way Crawford would fight in a big arena
Interesting fight,,,,, and a hard one to pick. I like Tim Tsyzu and will lean that way. But the other fellow can fight too ,,not a champ for nothing….
Have you actually seen him fight or your going off him holding a title? Its not like we haven’t heard of weak title holders or belts given via email.
Lets not forget Charles Martin had the heavyweight title for all of 3 months before traveling across the pond to hand deliver it to AJ. Never making the top 10 again.
JS…
Fight will happen in the fall of this year, should be a heck of a fight.
A brutal 50/50 fight is looming
Tszyu vs. who? Never heard of him.
Sort of Beterbiev in smaller version
My guy Tim Tszyu is back. Should be an interesting fight. I’m hoping Tszyu can get the IBF title. With Turki alalshikh working his magic and Crawford seeking to 4 time undisputed those two are bound to collide unless he has to fight Vergil Ortiz. 154 is starting to return to its former glory.
Far more anticipation for this one than any Crawford fight, just is what it is
Tszyu in 2!
I like Tim, but he is a confusing person. He lost his title due to a bad cut. I think most would agree that if the cut had not happened, he would have won. It’s confusing that he didn’t ask for a rematch. He didn’t seem upset about losing the title. So, he either doesn’t care about them or he doesn’t want to fight that guy again. It’s just confusing, but he owns me no answers.
I have seen Bakhram and am not impressed even though he has won his fights.
To me, Bakhram looks quite slow, lacks the sharp boxing skills and a footwork that leaves a lot to be desired.
Think Tim grinds him down pretty fast.
