    160 is a weaker division than 154 right now. Tszyu could beat up a few domestic level fighters from the UK and Australia then get a shot at a WBA belt vs ancient Lara

      I'd still watch it, fighter just below the top vs faded injury prone guy who has a big mouth and could have been a star.

        Fundora can beat Zayas but they’re on opposite sides of the street and you know how that goes.

        Maybe Arum can get on Amazon Prime though, now that the ESPN deal is done.

          Lara would ko him pretty early, he's too easy to hit and Lara is too hard to hit even if he is old.

            Weaker is objective.
            Unless Tim struggled to make weight ???
            No evidence of that.
            He just isn't good enough.
            No crime.

              I picked Barrios because of Pac's age but I would love to see Pac winning this one. Barrios is kinda sucky

                I'm struggling to believe that this fight isn't going to just be a sad moment.

                  We may be selling Fundora short. Hes a problem.

                    It kinda’ sucks to say that. Literally a year and a half ago he was seen as THE best or one of the upper tier 154 pounders. People were fantasizing about him and Jermell Charlo down the line.

                    Fast forward to now, and he’s being tossed out. Boxing drops you quick sadly.

                    I feel most would be able to look past the first Fundora loss or even tonight IF (big IF) he had gone the distance in a losing effort. He looked to be turning the tide. Fundora looked like he was always one good counter away from being starched. Credit to his chin. But man, that stoppage came out of nowhere and I don’t think it’s going to sit well with fans.

                    Even the one where he got blown out quickly was seen as tough luck. This…damn, I’m just salty right now. I don’t think Sebastian is that good. He’s got that world class Antonio Margarito-esque defense.

                      He's so bad and stylistically made for Pacquaio really but Manny is so old and shot I really can't shake how bad he looked in that exhibition against a debutant kickboxer and that was a few years ago now or vs Ugas 5-6 years ago. Surely this only ends one way and that is by Barrios brutally sending him back into retirement but the guy really does suck just enough for me to have doubts.
