    Comments Thread For: "Fighting Words" -- Tszyu-Fundora and the Potential Perils of Late Replacements

    Saving the upcoming March 30 show featuring Tim Tszyu in the main event required a bit of scrambling -- made easier by some astute planning. Tszyu was supposed to defend his junior middleweight title against Keith Thurman, who pulled out with a biceps injury with less than two weeks to go. On the same day that news broke, so did the news that Tszyu will instead face Sebastian Fundora.

      I like both fighters. Both are credits to the sport. I can’t see how this could be anything but a cracker of a fight. I suspect the young Australian will win but I would love to see the young American win

        Fundora is so tall, you'd think his body can fill out to light heavyweight.

        But some guys just stay that thin or lean.

        Win, lose or draw, Fundora brings it. He won't be on his bicycle much like Thurman would've been, with respect to Keith and all fighters.

                  One of my roles here is to write feature-length columns. This was a deep-dive. Glad you were able to stay afloat.

                    Styles make fights. This is a serious risk
