        A robbery wouldnt help Tim at this point. It's not like he's building his resume. He'll be rewarded getting beat worse by better.

            At this point Tszyu needs a KO win or a very convincing no doubt obvious wide decision win at the minimum. Hell, if anything Tszyu getting robbed by a controversial decision by non-Australian judges would get him more value than winning a close/controversial/robbery decision with three Australian judges.

              Joey has some name recognition with all of the PBC fights and brings a respectable record. He's a decent fighter but doesn't necessarily do anything special to indicate he has much of a chance against Tszyu.

              I see something similar to Jesus Ramos result, he's game but the difference in firepower yields Tim a mid to late rounds stoppage.

                But I lean toward KO. The buck definitely stops here. If he can't bounce back hard this time, he can't bounce back at all.

                    I say Tim will try and box intelligently the first few rounds, to get his confidence back. But eventually he will get clipped, and then, having learned nothing, revert to his old ways and go for broke. From this point on, anything can happen, even an upset.

                      The controversy over judging was largely a media exaggeration. Tszyu just needs to focus on returning to the winner’s circle in what would feel like a homecoming fight.

                      As for corruption, the recent commercialization of Australian boxing has significantly reduced the sport’s historically infamous issues. No Limit Boxing and Tim Tszyu have played a major role in this shift, whether intentionally or not.
