Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu vs. Keith Thurman: PBC on Prime PPV Official For March 30

[Roadblock]

This is Tszyu's tune up for Crawford ...

HOLY SH.IIIIIIITTTT

HE REALLY WANTS TO FIGHT HIM

He is not fighting TC he is fighting Thurman, all of a sudden a TC fight is a year away and TC might be gone by then. they must have been chatting to Thurman for a while as all the TC talk was going on, they should have a reality show about the games behind the scenes in boxing, imagine negotiations televised live lol, sure would change the opinions of who is ducking who Id reckon.

It raises Tim's profile and Keith has the best pedigree of anybody he's faced. He's been inactive for sure but Thurman has fought Jan Zaveck, Julio Diaz, Robert Guerrero, Luis Collazo, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, and Manny Pacquiao among others. His only loss was a split decision to Pac on a 1st round flash knockdown.

To this point the biggest names on Tim's resume are Tony Harrison and Jeff Horn. If Tim can't get Charlo or Crawford next, Thurman is a good fight for him. If Tim can be the first to stop him that's a good notch on his belt and puts him in a better position to headline a PPV against Crawford or Charlo down the line.

Only the list you gave is not the Thurman of today, Keiths last few fights have showed how far he has slipped, its only name value and insiders know KT is pretty much done.

He hasn't fought in 2 years...only once since Manny 4 1/2 years ago. I don't have many expectations from this.

He beat Barrios in his last fight, and Barrios will soon be promoted to WBC 147 champion. I agree Keith has slipped but he's still probably better than Jeff Horn or Tony Harrison.

do you know how devastating tszyu lands to the body? he pretty much crippled horn

what do you think he'll do to thurman who got hurt to the body by people who aren't even prolific body punchers like barrios or pacquiao?

If he gets knocked out he gets knocked out. He's given us plenty of entertaining fights. If he goes out in a title challenge on PPV I'm sure he can live with that.

Wow, so Keef's going up to Light Middleweight huh? Interesting and first fight vs Tszyu, pretty ballsy on Keef's part.

Is that the guy a 135 pounder stopped?

[brettWall]

I'll believe it when it's actually announced.

Thurman is not a big welterweight, and is no longer in his prime.
