Hoping no cuts end this

Still disgusted that Fundora didn’t give Tim a rematch… fukking cat

That's probably a PBC choice more than anything.

Is Keith thurman retired. He's pretty young.

He's a month away from 36. Boxers last longer because they fight less but in a vacuum that's not young.

“This is my moment,” said Australia’s Tszyu. “This is vengeance. Simple.
“Vengeance, and something painful [is coming Murtazaliev’s way].”
“Tomorrow we will fight,” said Murtazaliev, 31 and of Russia.

Looking forward to see how Tim looks after the first L. He fought with heart when he could have gave it up.

Amazon should force more of these cards since PBC has such a big roster. Keep them active, everything don't have to be a ppv. Fighters might get lesser paydays but you stay sharp and ready for the big fight.

Make no sense to fight on a ppv once a year make a good purse and sit on it then become stagnant. When you can take a little less and make 2-3 fights in a year and still make that same money while being active and boosting your rank.

PBC matchmakers usually set they guys up for wins majority of the time anyway so it ain't like you in dogfights every time out.

Honestly Probox and PBC should be formally partnering to use Prime for the free stuff

Murtazaliev is pretty much a brute

Tszyu just gotta pace himself and pick his shots and its all good

Yeah we need Friday Night Fights level cards again to have a proper look at the contenders

Danger of the unknown

Not sure if this fight could be another Crawford vs Madrimov

So... am I the only person who threw a little $ on Murtazaliev for the upset?

To me Tim is like Spence and Virgil where they aren't some tricky defensive gurus they are somewhat text book and really good at what they do so the question becomes are you good enough to stop them from imposing their will. This dude is a tough Russian so it will be interesting. I will say if this goes to the judges I have Tim winning just because it is what the business wants lol
