Comments Thread For: Paulie Malignaggi's Picks: Forget Spence and Crawford, Tszyu Deserves Fundora Rematch

[Ropeydope]

Run it back. It’s a good matchup. Tszyu accepted the late replacement without question and the cut that changed the tide was not caused by a legal punch. The outcome was not otherwise a foregone conclusion but that’s all the more reason to run it back.

[FinitoxDinamita]

Wasn’t that in the contract already? Tszyu definitely needs to exercise that cuz it’s his fight to win. Fundora comes across as a nice guy and all but he clearly got an early birthday gift. He is a B level fighter and best and fairly boring to watch.

No. He's just another shill putting his weight behind the Tszyu legacy. When are these pundits going to stop saying if not for the cut Tszyu would have won. Thats fantasy. He didnt win...and nothing can prove he would have either way. Sure...it may have been a different fight...but Tszyu was getting his head jabbed off and its just as likely that would have hapoened regardless. Tszyu also didnt single handedly save the show. Fundora could have said no and then what?

Shill or not, I enjoyed Paulie as a commentator working live broadcasts. If I'm able to finally become the majority owner of DAZN I'll bring in Max Kellerman and Paulie to work the fights with Sergio Mora.

Mora is okay. Kellerman knows a lot, but the voice is not easy to take for long. Both say crazy stuff at times, either to deny reality or support their fighter (I guess they all do). However, I enjoy Paulie and Chris the most of any pair.

Fwiw I like Bradley a lot at times but he can change with the wind and then the thing he said not to do is now the thing he says to do.

To be honest, I'm starting to mute the TV more often during fights and filter out distractions. It helps me focus on the fight and trust my own judgement.

I have to do this occasionally and it completely removes any atmosphere and a lot of the excitement. Hearing the punches and the crowd is a huge part of it.

If there's constant inane and biased commentary I feel like the fight is spoiled.

[Corelone]

I keep saying, don't fall in love with these guys. Paulie is obviously smitten.

[the secret]

It's crazy how some people pretend that Fundora didn't have a badly busted nose, he couldn't breathe through his nose! Broken noses hurt.

[TheOneAboveAll]

I agree with Paulie. Fundora should be grateful he got the opportunity and should return the favor. If it’s a payday Fundora wants then they should move the fight to Australia, where I’m sure they can fill up a huge venue.

This is a business decision out of Fundora's and his handlers' control. Al Haymon and PBC will decide (or have already decided) Fundora's next fight. Sebastian all but acknowledged this in the post-fight conference when he immediately deflected when asked about a Tszyu.

I know all this. I still think he should fight Tim again.
