Sounds like Tzsyu will have a fight on his hands.

Looks like a decent fight will break out. Bakhram fights in the centre of the ring throwing big bombs, kind of like Vergil Ortiz. I am not sure about his defence and how he responds to being tagged.

For those who haven’t seen Murtazaliev , his most recent fight, also toughest test to date where he won the vacant IBF belt in Germany

I have Bakhram up by 3 points. He is bigger, he looks better on the road, and I think he has congenital penury.

[Roadblock]

I got Tim stopping him.

Difficult to know how good Bakhram really is because a 39 year old jack Culcay is not a exactly world beating measuring stick.

I agree, just posted cause he was buried on non-televised undercards and a lot of people actually haven’t seen him fight. Also wasn’t implying his fight with Culcay proved anything, cause like you said, he’s well past his prime at 39, it may be showing the opposite of how good he is tbh , considering Culcay was quite competitive with him at this stage of his career.

I favour Bakhram on points. Tim is a tough cookie but lacks the skills and grit of his father. I think he ought to have taken a tune up fight as a confidence builder for this one, but fair play to him going straight into this on the back of a defeat. Kid has heart.

tszyu will flog this bloke
will be competitive for 5 or 6 rounds but then he will go up a gear and takeover ending in a late stoppage
