I don't think they're close at all. Kostya moved to Russia, and while he took Tim with him, Tim ended up moving back to Australia.

I believe it's actually Kostya's father who is closer to Tim, and trains him.

Yeah I remember watching Tim's interviews and the interviewer would ask "Is your father going to be at the match?" or like "What does your father think of your success?" And there was always a pause before he said something, or he would sort of ignore the question :francis:

Tank is going to fight Haney in the next year and some change. It's clear.

Haney got stopped and they know they can beat him and keep the money train going.

Yeah the more I think about it; the more I think that fight is good for Haney (Garcia fight aside.)

He’s been at 140 for a while, Tank is a little dude with a low per round punch output.

He puts opponents to sleep, but generally they’re either trash opponents or smaller/same size as him.

I don’t think Davis team wants that one.

Tim Tsyzu never moved to Russia.

His pops left the family, got a new woman, got hit with tax issues and works for an oligarch now.

The rest of the family stayed in the same house.

He is cool with his father, but not cool cool it seems.

it's really an interesting fight. Before the Garcia fight, I was pretty sure I'd pick Haney but now we know for sure Haney has no chin and his defense isn't that good (steroids or not). I think Tank knows he can put him to sleep but Haney definitely has the length and the jab to make Tank honest. I want to see it more than I want to see Tank vs Shakur to be honest.

Yep.

Davis gotta get the knockout to win that fight.

Lot of hurdles to get through, Haney size, reach, weight advantage etc.

Haney looked very good against southpaw last time too (Rougarou.)

Davis is a great talent and boxer, but size and mathematics working against him in this one.
