Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu on Keith Thurman: Don't Disrespect My [Mexican] Style Because I Actually Hurt People; He's a Split-Decision Guy

[JJ75JJ]

Gausha took that fight on short notice and actually showed a lot of holes in Tim, Terrel was a fringe guy who got beat whenever he faced a rise in class I think he had only 9 or so stoppages, it was a breakout fight for Tim but lucky for him it wasn't Charlo on that night or the Tim freight train leaves the track, he has improved since then Im really interested in seeing how he handles Thurmans boxing for the first half of the fight Mendoza is easy to out box Keith is way more cagey.

Tszyu was as sick as a dog for that fight and he tore the tendons in both his hands in round 2, he still beat the **** out of Gausha.

Keith 'Halftime' Thurman perhaps???

Keith "run time" Thurman

Keith is going to surprise a lot of people. He's a lot quicker than Tzsyu, on his feet and with his hands. He has better reflexes, even at this age and stage, better skills and much more xp, both as an amateur and pro.

This doesn't mean much, but Mario Barrios apparently regularly dominates Mendoza in sparring, but he was lucky to make it 12 with a 2 year inactive Thurman, losing every round and getting wobbled 4 or 5 times. Mendoza meanwhile gave Tim a competitive 12 rounds. Just an idea of how fans perspective of these fighters' level is often very inaccurate.

Tim is going to be walking onto some clean power punches early on, don't be surprised to see him on his backside

Tszyu is faster.

Everyone else ran away and Tszyu likes to stay busy. Tszyu wants Charlo but Charlo doesn't want anything to do with Tszyu.

Yes but this is just wrong imo
I am the one who was praising Tazoo for staying busy and fighting who comes his way but this just feels like a ripoff and as I said they chased him
Wtf ???

Perfect description of “One-Time” and his style..play it safe move and hold on for dear life on inside…content with going to scorecards every time:

I thought highly of Thurman back in 2015-16.

But in the last 7-8 years his chances of beating a fighter like Tzsyu have receded more than his hairline.
