Longtime One Time fan, there's a big part of me that says he's got zero chance here. There's also a part of me that says he's got this KO within 4...

I dunno who to believe.

Believe the first part. I'm a fan of both fighters. I don't see Keith giving Tszyu any trouble. Age and inactivity don't ever help.

Thurman made a strange decision here. His name still brings a bit of cache with it. He could have used a fight or two to get back to whatever is his peak at this stage of his career. Tszyu is not unbeatable, but he is still improving and is scratching at his prime. Tszyu has been active, and seems focused. I think Thurman can be given resect for doing this, but it sure does not seem like a wise career move to me.

I think Tszyu scores a KO win as the ref or Thurman's corner saves him from himself later in the rounds.

final prediction: tszyu by close decision (115-113).

thurman hasn't stopped anyone in 9 years and hasn't straight KO'd anyone since he was a prospect

Tim will stop thurman

Many fans and pundits believe that Tszyu is much better than he actually is. I see a very basic, methodical fighter who overwhelms opponents with activity and sheer force of will. What happens when he can't impose his will on an opponent?

Well yeah, if Tim loses to Keith at this point his stock nosedives.

If Keith wins his career is massively revitalized.

Nothing to argue about that, its definitely a must win for both guys, Im waiting on the last few days and weigh in I want to see what they look like at the end, Thurman especially as to what shape he is in, I feel he needs to be in probably the best shape of his career to pull it off.
