Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter: Tim Tszyu Has The Perfect Style For Keith Thurman

[JJ75JJ]

If Keith still has the movement he had during his champion years that will indeed present a problem for the heavy footed tszyu. Mobility will be the key here. If Keith no longer has the legs or stamina, then tszyu wins

Nah, Tszyu will beat him, too sharp, too good.

It's hilarious how some of these fans act like Tim Tszyu is this polished, versatile, adaptable fighter who switches gears effortlessly. He's a basic guy. A very good fighter, but painfully basic. I just don't see even a rusty Thurman struggling with a guy like this unless he gets caught to the body early and has to get on his moped.

He is polished though and patient and highly skilled. He doesn't need to be versatile particularly as he is always in control, he dictates. Regardless he knows Queef inside out because he imitated Queef for Pacman.

Apparently you forgot that Tszyu was also emailed his title. So

No, Charlo ran away.

lol they all see and know Thurmans boxing ability, Tim is hungry and strong but straight up and down he can be outboxed that's why they are leaning the way they are, the total disregard for Thurman is ******, he would beat Tims resume without much problems, it boils down to what has Thurman left, this isn't Ocampo or Mendoza neither could touch Keith.

I had to have a small bet on Thurman because of the odds, he is way better than the odds reflect, and I know Tim can be out boxed, my biggest concern for Thurman is can he hurt Tim, that's the real deal breaker, if he can buzz him and get respect he has a real good chance of pulling it out on the cards, if he cant Tim will walk through him in the later rounds.

Bruh Mendoza would beat up Queef.

Folks tend to lean heavily towards their home town favorite without realistically assessing what their fighter brings to the table. Tim Tzysu is a decent fighter with a solid foundation of tools, but let's face it. He really hasn't been tested. Perhaps we can blame the 154 lb division. If you look at Tim Tzysu's resume, he's beaten fighters with decent records. But if you look at his opponent's opponents, they have terrible boxing records. Tzysu also has a loss on his resume against an okay fighter, at best. Tim Tzysu talks very boldly after his victories. But let's face it, he beating flawed fighters. Tony Harrison is a joke. And Mendoza and Ocampo are almost journey men. Even though Thurman may have the odds stacked against him, he actually has a resume that suggests that he can be the test that Tzysu could use at this stage in his career. Even though Thurman has been inactive and is older, he probably poses more of a threat than any of Tzysu's opponents this far...and Keith is going up in weight.

I don't think folks should be taking Thurman lightly.

Tszyu hasn't been tested because he's peerless.

Tszyu is young and strong. Thurman will be in a war that he will have to sustain. Unless he catches Tim coming in its gonna be ugly to the end. I am looking forward to this fight more than any other at this point

Tim is undefeated. Who do you think he has a loss to?

Correction. Tzysu is undefeated. My assessment is, however, still the same.

A hirsute situation? Must be a Hans Themistode article.

Anyway…I actually think this is going to be a good, competitive fight.

Was going to write the same thing. Hans for some reason thinks writing "hairy situation" is too low brow and reached for his thesaurus, as usual. Finding the synonym "hirsute", he then proceeded to construct a clunky phrase used by no one.

As for the fight, I am very sceptical that Thurman has much left to offer at 35, with years and years of injury problems and one fight in over four years.

Thurman should not be favored because of his inactivity. But if he gets in a good training camp I think he has the tools to trouble Tszyu and make it a close contest at the very least.

You are a little annoying. You act like I am the only guy here that believes Bivol beats Beterbiev.

Your the only one coming out and saying outrageous things and not explaining it
Plus I think your full of chit about your new love of Bivol
So is it your hatred of Canelo or is it cause he got beat by him
Annoying ?
Your on a platform where people discuss boxing
If you don’t like it , close yourself in the closet and no one will annoy you
Very simple
