Comments Thread For: Brian Mendoza Arrives in Australia, Expects a Fire-Fight With Tim Tszyu

Mendoza is a 7:1 dog. I think I might indulge. No way in Hell a fight between two aggressive big punchers should have a 7:1 line either way.

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?

El Venado Lopez whoops azz outside Mexico all the time. He owns the UK. Lara is glad he didn't have to face El Venado.

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.

Lara only travelled once when champion and lost it in his first defence.

It would be quite hard to "Whoop ass" when you don't even win a fight. He beat Conlan. But he sure didn't beat Warrington. Only one of them was getting smacked around a ring and holding on for dear life. It wasn't Warrington. Hell, he couldn't even win his last fight either. It's becoming a theme with him.

Does Canelo, Fury, AJ and many others own the US?

Respect to both gentlemen.
They are warriors.

It's fights like this that make 154 division good.
Not that sh$t that was on couple of days ago, Cabanelo vs Harlo

Mendoza's team negotiated with team Tszyu.
Mendoza will get paid well. Much better than not coming to Australia.
Tszyu wind rounds very well as he always pressures opponents, so Mendoza knows he can only beat Tszyu by a KO.
If Mendoza wins, he will get the props.

Just wondering why Castano turned down Tzsyu's invitation to fight in Australia a year or so ago before the Charlo fights.

He smacked Warrington around, just didn't stop him. The only idiots who believe Josh won that fight probably score headbutts. El Venado landed 184 punches. Warrington landed 161. Two judges in the UK scored for Lopez, one scored a draw. Case closed.

Lol.

Lopez and Lara have made the UK their bltch. With the only exception being Leigh Wood, and that only because Lara got fat and is no longer hungry thanks to all the British pounds he has made whipping up on their local lads.

Because he was lining himself up to get that Charlo fight. He actually won the first one but the judging was terrible
