  • It still trips me out how much Tim resembles his father. Almost a identical twin.. Even their styles are close to exact..

    • Very strong resemblance, especially when Kostya first exploded onto the scene. If Tim is able to develop a razor sharp 1-2 down the middle and the tail on his head, we’d have a clone.

    • I saw him fight in a small local show 20 years ago. I know his record is terrible, but he’s fought a ton of good heavyweight prospects over the years.

      He is the definition of will fight anyone anywhere.

      And his opposition has been better than what most of the current top ten heavyweights have faced.

    • He seems to have made a nice life for himself in New Zealand. Good on him.

      • Yeah. He’s done great for himself. I gotta think he’s coming to the end (but maybe not), but he’s probably been one of the most dependable journeymen heavies of his era and he’s gotten to travel the world. From Detroit to New Zealand. Not a bad way to spend your days.

    • Lol!!! He HAS to be well over 50. That’s a big dude. I think Vousiutu will knock him out. Long’s output is limited and with Vousiutu being a busy southpaw, it’s going to be fun while it lasts.

    • I think it will go the distance. I was going for Tim by k.o as well but Mendoza looked scary ripped at the weigh-in. He might be bigger than Tzyu come fight night, this is interesting.

    • Agreed. I love it when fighters stay active and try to make whatever fights they can. Mendoza is no bum, but I expect Tszyu takes care of biz today.

      • Agree, Mendoza is no bum which is why I expect Tim to be KTFO after the 9th.

  • Tim really has more heart and guts than talent, but his talent is getting better as he goes along, and heart and guts can’t be taught. Really enjoy watching him on his journey.

  • I back Tim to win this but if he gets reckless things can change in a blink !!!!!

  • ths is just another bullshit title fight another money grab from a greedy boxing organization

    • I’m not mad at the WBO stripping Jermell for not defending it vs their No. 1. Fight had been postponed twice already correct? The BS/greedy move was definitely waiting until after the Canelo fight to strip him (IF he paid a sanctioning fee for that fight).

      I wish more orgs would do this. Too many fighters are out there fighting their way up the ladder but not allowed to get their title shot.

      WBC let Jermall hold it’s title for almost 3 years w/out a fight!

      • David I reckon the whole thing is orchestrated between all the major organisations. Picture this….. Jermell is still WBC,IBF,WBA, 154lb champ ,he comes back at 154 lb , challenges whoever’s the WBO Champ, and wins, to be undisputed champ again at 154 lb !
        I don’t think it’s been done before,but hey , anything can happen in boxing

    • I expect Tszyu to win, but this is a tricky one. Mendoza is a live dog and I’m sure he’ll bring it. The hard part is if Mendoza can win rounds… I’m not sure he can, so he’ll need to put big punches together.

  • Tim wins this then he has “earned” the title.
    I don’t know why (and I hope not) but somehow I think an upset is blowing in the wind
