Good fight. I think both guys are underrated.

I think Tszyu wins because he starts fast and looks for the KO.

So no one is giving credit for Mendoza's willingness to fight outside of his home country. He's going to Australia, not some third-world country.

Was a huge deal when Haney went. Was a huge deal when Fulton traveled in another modern country. It's as if they're giving everyone favors. See the difference?

Mendoza is powerful but neither he is fast or very active.

This is a nice style matchup. Should be lots of leather flying and very low probablility that it goes the distance.

both Devin and Stephen were both champions.

An alt responded. Typical. You really want to justify this, eh? Guys like Josh Taylor was champion. He went twice on "enemy's" territory. Wasn't a big deal. And there were many examples. Haney was a nobody and still is in comparison. Fulton was backed by Haymon/PBC/SHO, how come they never made any offer to Inoue so they can do it in Vegas?

Mauricio Lara fought on "enemy's" territory multiple times as a champion. Nobody gave any credit to him traveling outside his Mexico.

Only Americans make a big deal of fighting outside their home sweet home. Most of them don't even have passport.

It was a 3 punch KO not a 1 punch KO. I became a Mendoza fan due to his underdog victories even though I wanted Banana and Fundora to win. I'd like to see him pull off the upset.
