Aaron Pryor vs Kostya Tzyu

[mrpain81]

Tyszu was too inconsistent.

He got KTFO by Phillips.

Rafael Ruelas had him hurt in the second round.

Oktay Urkal gave him a very good fight that could have gone either way.

Diosbelys Hurtado had him hurt and down twice in the first round.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think Tyszu was very good but not in the same level as Pryor and Chavez.

And anybody who say's "well he beat Chavez" Willy Wise had already beat the **** out of an old Chavez who was a shell of his former self.

[MANGLER]

Pryor by UD or late TKO. He throws too many punches for Kostya to handle over the long haul.

[-CANE-]

No contest, and that's no disrespect to Tszyu who was a very good fighter but Pryor was a phenominal fighter and one of the all time greats.

Mostly crap here...

The Urkal fight could of gone either way???
Urkal came back impressively in the last round, winning it well, but he'd lost almost all of the previous rounds.

Rafael Ruelas landed the occaissional good shot, but for the most part Tszyu delivered an absolutely brutal beating.

Hurtado had him down early, but Tszyu was the one delivering most of the punishment from then on, finishing Hurtado brutally, & pretty much finished him as a top level fighter.

Phillips beat him in one of the biggest upsets, & seeing how Tszyu never rematched him that leaves a big question marks, but Tszyu had a lot of other big wins to make up for it.


As for Pryor, he was also knocked down early in a few fights, but came back.
Was also pretty messy at times.


If both fighters were at their best, would favour Pryor by close decision over 12 - taking some big shots early mid-rounds, but outworking Tszyu late.

In a 15 rounder, suspect Pryor may get a late stoppage.

[nathanmania]

Aaron will give him a bad beating.
