Comments Thread For: Mendoza on Tim Tszyu Fight: Nothing Can Stop Me From Bringing a New Belt Home

[JJ75JJ]

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.

But Ocampo didn't land a single punch on Tszyu.

That's because Ocampo doesn't have counter-punching skills. Tszyu leaves himself wide open and can get caught.

Tszyu is not lacking defensively, he makes risk v reward judgements, he'll be aware of Mendoza's power and mitigate it accordingly. People don't give Tszyu anywhere near enough credit for his boxing intelligence.

Because he doesn't show it as far as defensive responsibility and head movement. Tim can punch, but he's always got his head on the line to be hit, slow foot movement, and a stiff high guard that doesn't account for angles or overhand shots.

Unfortunately Fundora doesn't use his height and reach effectively, he'll never win another fight at 154 unless he fights bums.

That's an unintelligent prediction, seeing how he went to war against a top contender in the division in Lubin, got knocked down, but rose from the canvas and got the KO. There's nothing that shows bum beater about him, and, as a matter of fact, Fundora could very well beat Tszyu on any given night. They are are on similar levels with Fundora being the more polished and Tim being a little more powerful.

I wouldn't be shocked if he did end up like Ocampo. Tszyu is ready to knock heads off.

We shall soon see.

He's too tall for 154 and now everyone knows he doesnt have a chin, Lubin is nothing and not even worth talking about. Fundora would/will get destroyed by Tszyu.

I also don't think Charlo will win another fight unless he fights bums. He's getting old, he's too inactive, Canelo will beat the **** out of him and Tszyu and Crawford would/will both beat him as well so he's got nowhere to hide and no one to fight who won't beat him. He's the paper champion, the dead man walking.

Ocampo didn't land a punch on Tszyu and Tszyu outboxed Harrison. If Tszyu's defense is a legitimate concern why has he never even had a close fight, why does he always win easily and rarely get hurt?

Yeah . . . . . let's not give Tszyu any credit at all!

Every fighter has flaws and if those flaws are not fixed, they will lose, either sooner or later, which is what happens to almost every fighter. No I don't give Tszyu credit for leaving himself wide open at times and eventually it can cost him against the elite. Stop being a fangirl.

JJ75JJ is showing to be a fangirl. Tsyzu is a solid fighter, but he like a number of fighters has flaws that can be exploited by the elite. His defense as whole is not bad, but he comes straight in squared up at times and against a strong counter-puncher will pay the price. Fangirls want to believe their love interest will be a superstar and remain unbeaten but like most fighters, Tszyu will win some and lose some.
