Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu faces the moment, and Denis Nurja, looking straight ahead

I don't think this particular fight means much. Just another confidence builder type fight for Tim and he's working out the bugs with his new trainer. I would expect Tim to win and then line himself up for the potential Errol fight.

yea i am not familar with his current opponent, would have youtube up some of his past fights to see the style and type of fighter he is in the ring to see what Tim can learn about himself in this bout. But i will watch i will hope of a fight breaking out, some blood, some knock downs and rising up thru the fight. That is what i would like we will see the truth fast enough in this bout.......... who a fighter is always comes out inside the ropes esp if the match making is true..................

This fight is going be on at 11 am Australian time and 9 PM in the U.S. They're really putting American fans interest above the Aussies on this one. I'm not complaining or anything because it's a good time for me.

Tim is only 31 but he's probably age 36 in boxing years. My man was getting hit way too much in that Murtazaliev fight. I lost count how many time Bakhram knocked him down and he did immense damage to him. That ref did a horrible job and should have stopped it after the third knock down. You really can't let the fight continue after that because it's only going go downhill from there.

The main card begins at 11am AEST. The Tszyu-Nurja main event should start early afternoon AEST. Probably around 1.30pm.

As you said, unusual timing for a home fight.

Sam Goodman 21-1 vs Rodrigo Fabian Ruiz 23-1 in an IBF title eliminator, on the undercard.

I blame The Tower on Tim and his team. They were looking for somebody safe for his next road trip. Thurman was hand picked and polished, but he gets busted up in training so they look around, and who do they see laying there? Goofy. The thing is Fundora didnt know what he had. Mendozer made him leery and Tim gave him a sanguine target. He metamorphed right there. No more face fighting grunt, now the Tower is going vertical. Attack from above and regain altitude.

Tim was actually killing Fundora in the first fight but having the worst corner in boxing won't do you any favors.
