    I think Tim will win this, but you definitely can't count Mendoza out. Brian is right that he has some attributes Tszyu hasn't experienced before, namely true KO power, and maybe a true warrior fighting spirit. I'm looking forward to this one. Should be a ****er. I expect someone to get KO'd.

        It was perfect for Fundora too, who was easily winning the fight, until that BOMB!!! Mendoza is capable of landing that on Tim at any time because Tszyu is lacking defensively, and doesn't have near the size advantages of Fundora.

          Height and size are not the same. TT is pretty thick. Should be a good match up.

            I agree, it should be a good matchup, and height and size are not the same as can be seen in the Charlo and Cinnabon fight, but Fundora 's ridiculously large height and reach with decent skills, gave him advantages no other fighter in the division has.

                Good fight. I hope Mendoza doesn't wind up like Ocampo.

                  Gotta love it. Tszyu taking the best available fights while Charlo is nursing the injured hand

                    If Zoo has any lapses in defense like he showed in spots in his last fight, he could be counting the ceiling lights. He has to hope he can get Mendoza out fast or if he gets caught clean, Mendoza's power is real.
