    • Maybe so, and Tszyu is doing his best to stay active. I don’t quite understand where the disconnect is with Charlo fighting him as it’s the biggest fight Charlo could make. I didn’t originally like Tim Tszyu because it felt like he was trading on his last name… but I like him now. The guy stays active and appears willing to go anywhere to fight. I have a definite soft spot for fighters who actually get in the ring, which seems rarer and rarer these days.

      • Brainchild, the disconnect is with the PBC. Maximum profit for minimum risk. A fight with Tzsyu is way too risky.

    • Yes sir and it’s not just a feeling. Keith “once upon a time” Thurman is looking for one last payday before hanging them up.

  • Tszyu’s youth and higher work rate will give Thurman issues during the fight. Thurman’s better days are behind him now as a fighter. Thurman’s name is called “One Time”, but I feel this is his “Last Time”. I feel Tszyu should make a statement in this fight to make himself more marketable in the US market as a fighter. Tszyu UD.

  • Tzuyu by unanimous decicion

    I don’t know what happened to Thurman seems like he was serious hurt physically and mentally by Pacquiao loss

    • Physically? I don’t see that. But he sure lost his motivation to fight after the big payday.

  • gotta find a new moniker the take over has already been abused and played out how bout those aussies try…..lets give it a go mate

  • Thurman does not deserve this title shot and this matchup doesn’t excite me. The super welterweight fight I wanna see is Tim Tszyu vs. Charles Conwell. Ever notice how not one single 154 lber ever calls out the Olympian from Cleveland?

  • This fight will be competitive and I see it going the distance. Keith most likely will not win this one but he is no slouch either, even at his advanced age. He has had numerous injuries over the years which stopped him getting close to being one of the top fighters in his division. He has never actually been in none stop wars and always makes a good showing of himself.

  • I don’t like this fight for tsyzu. To me, it’s a step back. It’s not sanctioned and does nothing for him other than to put a name on his record. He may get some notoriety because it’s in USA, but Thurman is not that known amongst the mainstream fans. It’s either going to be a well paid sparring session or a crime scene because tsyzu runs right through him. And PPV? Don’t think so.

    • Agree, by the way, it is Thurman’s 2nd and Tzyu’s 12th fight since July 2019, says a lot

    • Agree Killa King…maybe not a good fight financial wise….but great experience….if Tsyzu loses or gets seriously hurt…a setback….Thurman is a skilled fighter …has nothing to offer but experience….will help Tsyzu in that aspect but there are big money fights out there….risk is too high here…

    • you know one thing; Roy,” I have to tell you that you’re 100% right about your prediction, and I’m a bit surprise about those who b elieve that the fight will go till round 12……never !!!Tszyu is a power-horse and I believe 2-3 rounds should be enough. I like Keith Thurman but……I don’t see him winning….Have a good night…from Montréal

  • Good luck to Tszyu jr!
    I’ll be paying for this one.
    Thurman is by far the current fighter I dislike the most. The only other fighter I disliked like that was Michael Nunn
