A household name in the land from down under. Now, Tim is about to shake hands with Russian president Vladimir ***** and his favorite ( *****'s ) boxer Roy Jones jr.

Timmy V Kurbanov would be one hell of a fight

Again, why hasn’t industry dwelled on an article for the success for non-infectious scenarios about Australia’s 16K attendance for this fight? There were hardly people wearing face masks within the crowd, mainly just personnel or officials ringside

Because that part of the country is virus free, have a look at a map and see where Townsville is, that part of the country is relatively isolated.

Unlike Horn, who could have done so much more in boxing, Tszyu has the right team plus his Dad is keeping an eye on him. Tim will have no excuses and looking at him now he will go as far as his talent allows him, everything else is in place.

I'm very relieved to hear Tim show his natural maturity and equanimity in admitting he still needs to further develop as a fighter before rushing for a world title.
Horn was a resounding defeat, but in reality, horn is two classes behind the top of the division, so I'd say maximum two years fighting as often as possible against the type of fighters he'll likely be facing - Latino and African American fighters.
Take fights with former world champions who can test him without too much risk.
Historically Australian fighters are either rushed into a title fight, or they are fed on a diet of hapless Thai kickboxers, local club fighters and the rest.
Good to hear his team is not going to allow the hype to upset his learning curve.
