Well, that will make my decision as to buy the PPV easy. The answer is NO. I know Bud is top 3 P4P, but I was going to buy it for the Tzyu Ortiz match.

We won't see Tim on these shores again any time soon. He has the heebee jeebees. Cut on top of the head? That calls for a can outback.

Tszyu figure he was going to get dismantled and ask the doctor to cancel the fight.

The event shouldn't be PPV after this fallout.

Pitbull vs Rayo are two 135 pounders fighting for a 140 Title that was gifted to "no skills" Romero.

In a weird twist of fate, Keith Thurman will substitute for Tszyu, after being replaced by Fundora, whose elbow caused this cut, to face Tszyu.

I'm calling it now.

I knew it was too good to be true. His cut had 8 weeks to heal. I find it hard to believe a cut anywhere can't heal in 8 weeks. Sounds to me like he just didn't fancy this fight. After all that "baddest man in the saloon" talk from Timmy, it's so sad to see him pull a Keith Thurman and go out like this.

The problem , Doctors in this chat, is the "venas y arterias" in that part of the head. 8 weeks is not enough to heal completely.

If I was KEEF I would jump at this chance

That is whack. Why schedule the thing if they weren't sure? That just sets up the other fighter to waste time and money on preparation.
