Tszyu vs. Mendoza Confirmed for WBO Title Showdown on October 15th

[freedomgo]

^ That is a very attractive odds for a underdog. I'm convinced that Mendoza could be very well a live underdog here so it's a big surprised that the book makers are listing him at 5:1 here. The fight could even go to the judges scorecard if Tim can't knockout Mendoza here.

And that's where the story of a decision that could be biased to Tim, as one is from Australia already and the two other judges have score the fight in favor of Tim against Harrison in Australia. But nevertheless, I wouldn't look at it from that perspective, Tim should really look for a knockout so that there will be no doubts that he won the fight and that he is the established WBO champion unless Charlo makes a comeback next year.

That's one of the reasons Tszyu is the favorite here, aside from being the champion. He's not known as a KO artist, so we're likely to see a toe-to-toe battle that might end up on the judges' scorecards. Now, what Mendoza needs to do is crucial – he has to secure a win, and that's most likely to happen through a KO.

He can't afford to just think about winning on points; that's a surefire way to lose, especially since he's the away fighter. It's imperative that he doesn't leave room for doubt. He needs to fight convincingly so that the result can't be questioned or manipulated.

Hmm, I might go with Mendoza here, just to have fun watching the fight and the odds are still very good as he is the underdog. I know that Tim is very tough and hard to beat in his hometown, but he shouldn't slept on Mendoza and be over confident and Mendoza has the power to knock him out with just one punch.

Again, this will be my bet and hopefully I can watch this fight live either from someone who is going to share links here.

I'm sure someone will drop a stream on Facebook although it is not a very popular fight many are following Tsyzu, Tsyzu has a concern the referee of the fight happens to be the same referee that officiated the Pacquiao - Horn fight, Tzsyu doesn't want this fight to be controversial just like what happened to the Pacquiao - horn fight

Tim Tszyu’s team have expressed concern over how Sunday’s WBO world title bout will be officiated after a “bizarre” run of events have culminated with the appointment of Mark Nelson – the same referee who oversaw Jeff Horn’s incredible upset of Manny Pacquiao.

We don’t want another Pacquiao-Horn controversy’: Team Tszyu’s fears over ‘bizarre’ ref pick

We hope this will not be as controversial just like what happened to Pacquiao, Tszyu doesn't want that to happen he has a reputation to protect.

It's good that Tim is calling out this early, I mean it everything turns out to be like the Horn vs Manny fight, at least he has warn everyone about the referee. However, if he wanted to have no controversy, then what he needs to do is to stop Mendoza with a knockout and not let the judges score the fight as it might look biased again if he won.

Hopefully though the referee is well aware of his actions from the Pacquiao fight and will not let the same mistakes again.

I haven't check Youtube though, but hopefully some dude from Australia will stream it for us boxing fans.

The fight is underway now here is a free stream from this fight, there are a lot of free streams but this one is a better one because the fight will not be covered by notification of copyright, hopefully, it will not be taken down if ever I'll look for another one, let's enjoy the fight.

Tszyu vs. Mendoza

[Baofeng]

I thought that I bet on Mendoza has some chances, hehehe, he really did good up to the 5th round though. And then Tim took over from round 6 and I thought that he is going to be the first man to knockout Mendoza.

But kudos to him for a valiant fight, he had a good strategy early to run circles and pot shot Tszyu. But Tim stayed with his game plan and then in the middle rounds, it was clear that Mendoza is fading out and Tim just continue to go and pounce him with upper cut and good combination.

So maybe after this win, Jermell will be ready next year so that we will see them fight for the undisputed belt at 154 lbs.

Tszyu got off to a slow start but once he let his hands go he was able to dominate with his power. Mendoza has a head made of granite to be able to take that punishment. Tim might not be as talented as his father but he is a solid champion. His pressure style would be a problem for Charlo if he decides to go back down to reclaim his title.  

[robelneo]

Tim Tszyu decisively won the fight with a unanimous decision 116-111, 116-112, 117-111, Mendoza out a gallant fight but those uppercuts and straight punches by Tzsyu were just hard to avoid so many of these punches hit Mendoza in the eyes and the head, I thought the fight will be stopped because of the big cut on Mendoza, but he was allowed to continue, although Mendoza showed aggressiveness in the latter rounds it was just too late.

Congratulation to Tzsyu he is now heading to Las Vegas for a Charlo fight

[Maslate]

Mendoza has become like a punching bag in this fight. Both fighters aren't particularly quick, even Tszyu, who appears slow and doesn't throw many jabs, but his timing is excellent, which is why Mendoza got badly hurt. This kind of fight is interesting to watch, and I'm sure it entertained the fans, especially since their home fighter won the match. With Tszyu's success, I think he needs a better opponent next time; he's due for that, I guess.

Yes, and that's why Mendoza is dominating early with quick footwork, avoiding Tim's best punches. But once Tim got his rhythm and letting his hands go, he hit Mendoza a lot and there's no upset or something. Mendoza though on his part was able to survived this fight because he has a good chin.

But if this is fighters that can be break down mentality, for sure Tim will score a knockout, just like what he did against Harrison in their fight. I like his pressure and if him and Charlo faces, we will see how Charlo will react because it seems that he doesn't have pressure fighter. But I do believed that Charlo has more power than Tim at 154 lbs.

Based on his interview after the fight he is due to fight Jermell Charlo, Jermell will try to regain his title although there is still o official announcement but it is likely to be announced, this is going to be a very good match Tszyu will have to prove by beating Jermell that he deserves his title that was given after Jermell fought Canelo.

And it seems they are already trash-talking each other so it's going to be a fight worth watching, they are almost even in terms of power and skill only that Jermell has a better experience but they have a common denominator and that is both fighters beat Tony Harrison.

It's shaping up to be an interesting match. After Jermell got exposed in his fight against Canelo and lost, I'm sure Tszyu's confidence is soaring. Tszyu's performances haven't exactly been stellar either, but when facing off against Jermell, there's a chance he could win the fight. I'm quite curious about the potential betting odds. Will Jermell be the favorite, or will Tszyu take that title?

And if this fight happens, would it be a unification match or an undisputed one?

I think it will be undisputed as Charlo still have the 3 belts as this governing bodies didn't stripped of his belt unlike the WBO when Charlo goes up to 168 lbs and challenge Canelo.

And it was originally schedule that Tszyu and Charlo meet in June for the undisputed 154 lbs. Charlo got injured and then Tim goes out to fight and make him busy becomes interim champion and now regular WBO champion.

So it make sense that they should fight next, for Charlo to get back his title and then for Tszyu to solidify his status as the champion at 154 lbs.
