Tim Tszyu will make his American boxing debut on the 9th of March in LA.
His opponent will be olympian Terrell Gausha.
The son of world champ Kostya holds the current;
WBC-ABCO Continental light-middleweight title
WBA Oceania interim light-middleweight title
Australian light-middleweight title
IBF Australasian light-middleweight title
WBO Global light-middleweight title
Commonwealth light-middleweight title
WBO Asia Pacific light-middleweight title
He has won all 20 of his professional bouts with 15 of those being by KO.
Looking forward to this! Will catapult Tim into the world spotlight and see him go on to become the undisputed world champ

Tim's opponent has had 34 fights. Only losing 2 and drawing once. However he has only won two of his last five fights. The other three were the two losses and the draw. At 34 he looks like he's coming towards the end, so Tim should win.
Interesting to see Tim's brother is turning pro too. |

You must be counting his amateur fights?
His pro record is : 25 fights - 22 wins (11 by KO), 2 losses and a draw.
His last fight was in March last year, beating Jamontay Clark, knocking him out in the 2nd round. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSj8jmE1AIU _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

I don't see any odds for this at sb...
But Tyson Fury twice... He has two fights lined up? (What if he's upset in the first?)
(24/4) Fury 1.14 Whyte 5.20
(31/12) Fury 1.28 Joshua 3.45
Err... maybe a mistake?? I just saw that Anthony Joshua is listed at the same time against Oleksandr Usyk.
(31/12) Usyk 1.42 Joshua 2.73

Yes. it is 25 not 34 fights. But the rest of the stats are correct: "He has only won two of his last five fights. The other three were the two losses and the draw." |

I'm not looking in to those too much, the loss to Lara was a shot at the title in 2017 and went the distance. His first loss after 20 straight wins.
His last loss, to Lubin (2019) was a lacklustre 12 round fight that didn't have much action.
The draw was one of those ridiculous judging decisions we sometimes see in boxing. Gausha absolutely dominated the fight, one judge got it right 99 - 91, one judge (who must have been visually impaired) scored it 94 - 96 while the 3rd judge had them deadlocked 95-95. The commentators ALL had Gausha winning the bout and I thought the same.
Tszyu will certainly have a fight on his hands, especially in front of 20,000 yanks. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Today's the day!
Just an hour until the preliminaries start.
I'm tipping a very tight fight here, of course, Tim to win.
I think it will be closer than the bookies have it, $1.09 for Tim is unders for me.
A few bucks on Tim to win in rounds 10-12 @
$6.25. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Elvis Rodriguez brutal in his 7th round KO of Velasco. In the 1st fight.
Should have been stopped at the end of the 6th. He got bashed in the 7th, going down 3 times. Bad cut over his left eye. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Ali look a like Rivera is looking good to go 23-0 and retain his lightweight titles in the 7th round.
Adorno took some punishing body shots, was spewing in his bucket at the end of the 6th. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Rivera wins 97-94 on all 3 judges cards. A bit generous to Adorno I think.
He looks very sharp, a huge future for this bloke. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |
