Just another update for this fight, face off already at Sydney Harbour

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxr-n6N3W_k

Harrison is taller, but it seems that it's hot in Australia right now and who knows, this might affect him. The odds hasn't change that much though, still Tim Tszyu is the outstanding favorite here. And I see that this is going to be tough for Tim, but in a sense a blessing in disguise if he can come up the victor here as it might serve as a good experience to handle a fighter that beat Charlo. And style wise, I think Tim can win in a grueling 12 round decision, and Harrison doing all the tricks in the book to test Tim, his chin his body and his mental strength.

Odds are out as well for this fight,



Obviously, Tony Harrison is a huge underdog in this fight.

The over/under is 10.5 rounds, still decent at the over @1.71 as Harrison is a tough fighter to beat.

Tim by decision as well @3.20

But if you are a Harrison backer, everything on him is very juicy bet hehehe.

Who's not gonna love Tony Harrison here? hehehe, "Tim, I just wanna be friends, show me around".

“He took the elevator… I took the stairs”

So let's see what Harrison can do, he seems to be motivated in this fight to have a second wind in his career after his lost to Charlo in the second fight.
This fight is very interesting. The fact that the match of Tim Tszyu with Charlo was called off must have made him unhappy.

Yes, that fight with Charlo is for all the belts in 154 lbs, so if ever Tim won, he will be the unified champion and would make history for him and his dad. But there are things that we didn't anticipated or we don't have control such as boxers being injured in training.
You brought up a good point, and you also brought to mind that his dad was also the undisputed champion of his time. We cannot forget how his dad won over Zab Judah by knocking him out and making the American do the chicken dance. It was a boxing match that will always be remembered. Therefore, if Tim Tszyu defeats Jermell Charlo and wins all of the belts, he and his dad will become the first dad and son undisputed champions in the history of this sport. That will be an incredible feat that has never been attempted before. But the fact that Jermell Charlo is an excellent boxer makes it difficult.

Yeah, it could go down to the history books, but what's important is for Tim to win his fight then against Harrison. Everything is at his advantage, the venue and he has trained already, so he is ready to go anytime he wants to fight Tony.

But of course, every fight is at risk even if Tim will be the favorite here as Harrison is still a very dangerous opponent and I don't think we can say that he is not on his prime anymore. Harrison has a punchers chance in this fight to pull any upset in his career.

This is a really a good test for Tim because Harrison is very good and durable opponent who gave Charlo his only lost so far. Right, win-win situation for Harrison as well, if he wins then maybe he will be the mandatory for Charlo again.

This fight is a challenge for both fighters, as the winner will have the opportunity to fight Charlo. While Tim Tszyu is a slight favorite, I wouldn't be too convinced that he will win easily. The winner of this fight will surely be deserving of the opportunity to fight the champion.

Tim deserves a shot at Charlo, it's just that it has been cancelled for now. Yeah, some of us might think that Tim will win against Harrison, I think Tony is somewhat on a decline already and could be out of his prime in this fight in my opinion after his defeat on the hands on Charlo.

It would be very entertaining to watch a knockout in this fight. With Tony Harrison having 21 knockout wins from 29 fights, he is definitely not a boring fighter and has a high KO percentage.

Tim has a good chin although if my memory serves me right, during his last fight he went down from a flash punch. But he was able to recover and bounce back and win that fight. So he has been tested, and his chin is not yet really broken by anyone.

However, he is now able to use everything he learned in training against the person who beat Charlo. Mr. Tszyu might be able to beat Harrison more effectively than Charlo. On the other hand, if Harrison defeats Tszyu, he can restart his career and will compete in a third match with Charlo for all the alphabet of the division. After two consecutive defeats of Kambosos, this is also the ideal time for Tszyu to return the nation to the winning column.

According to https://www.proboxingodds.com/fighters/Tony-Harrison-696, Tim appears to be the favorite in this fight. I would say his chance of winning is good, and maybe after this, he will have a big fight, like a championship fight. The fight is happening in March, so there is still plenty of time for these two fighters to train. I'm rooting for Tim Tszyu to win, and I would like to see him win via KO.

He will have a fight with Charlo, until it was postponed, so definitely they will clash again for all the belts in line. However, Tim can't wait that much longer for Charlo to recover from his injury so he decided to fight a dangerous Harrison.

No timetable for Charlo's return, but if this fight is in March and Tim won, maybe in the 3rd-4th quarter we will see that championship fight.

And this fight is in Australia so Harrison will have to travel like Devin Haney and see if he can pull a upset win.

I didn't realize that Tim Tszyu is already inactive for nearly a year. But it could a blessing in disguise, I don't really see him winning against Jermell Charlo. Jermell Charlo would've been too fast, too strong, too experienced, and too powerful for Tim. Tony Harrison is a good test and I want to see if Tim has improved a lot and if he is ready for the undisputed champ. If this fight is staged in the US, I'm pretty sure the odds would've been closer than what we are seeing at the moment. Tony Harrison is a very confident guy and is the only one that blemished Jermell's record although he lost in the rematch, it was very close before he was stopped in the 11th round. Hats off to Tim for not taking an easy fight.

On the other hand. It seems like Jermell has overdue mandatories already. Sebastian Fundora deserved a title shot rather than that worthless WBC interim. We'll see if Charlo wants a tune-up in his return or if he will right away face any of his mandatories.

Hopefully he will not go for a tune up once he has recovered from his injuries and go directly to Tim because that's what the schedule fight for him. And that is why Tim has to take a fight because he will have a long lay off if he wait for Charlo to heal. So it's better to take a get busy fight against Harrison, but it's a dangerous one. This is not an easy fight for him, or what we say a tune up fight. He has to push himself because Harrison is a tough challenger. The rematch is still close until Harrison gets over confident as Charlo stop him in 11 rounds. So Harrison is still very dangerous.

I didn't know that this fight was already canceled. Yes, might as well open a new thread with the specific fight to avoid confusion. I thought we are going to witness this fight in less than a week now, but it's okay because we are still gonna see a good fight. Good for Tim Tszyu, he will keep his undefeated record as most likely if they will fight with Jermell Charlo, he might lose.
It's fine to continue in this thread, @OP just need to revise his thread to "Tony Harrison vs Tim Tszyu - Mar 13, 2023"

I think Tony Harrison's prime already passed, he haven't knock out any boxer in the last 4 years which proving he doesn't have a same power like before. Tim Tszyu on other hand is a strong contender, he have a chance to beat Charlo even it will going very close and the judge might favor on Charlo or make it a draw.

Currently the bookie only list moneyline betting option, Tim Tszyu is a favorited with 1.40x odds while Tony Harrison is an underdog with 2.80x odds.

I have updated the title of the thread to reflect the changes, thanks.

The odds doesn't change a bit,  Tim Tszyu 1.39,  Tony Harrison 2.75.

I think still a good match for Tim here as a interim fight while waiting for Charlo. Hopefully as per the odds, there will be no upset that is going to happen. Another interesting plot is that I read that Spence is willing to bet that Harrison will beat Tim in this fight. Perhaps he see Tim as being a hard fight for him in the future since his next plan fight for Thurman is supposedly at 154 lbs.

Obviously, they just inserted the title as 'interim' in this fight. So Tszyu will still have to win this fight against Harrison to be able to get a shot against the regular champion in Charlo.

The odds is not that far though, meaning the chances are not that slim. Not sure why Spence think that way, maybe he and Harrison is close that's why he sided with the American. But the fight is going to be in Australia, so Harrison be ready for the hostile crowd in this fight.
Yes, the odds is closer, and maybe the book makers acknowledge that Tony Harrison win against Charlo for having that odds for him and for Tim. So we will se how close the fight will be. As you have said, the fight is in Australia so I think the memory of Pacquiao vs Horn is still fresh on us wherein we think that Manny was robbed because the fight happens on Australia. And although we have seen Kambosos losing his title in homesoil, it was a complete domination by Haney. So in this case if the fight is close and goes to distance and to the judges, who knows, just saying.

Tony though might be a hard fight for Tim, nevertheless a good test for him as we all know that Harrison beat Charlo in their first fight. So this will defined if Tim has was it takes to really challenge Charlo.

But if we are going to talk about challenges next, year are a lot, Thurman and Spence is fighting at 154 lbs and maybe they will move up to the division. And then we also have the possibility of Bud Crawford as well. So the super welterweight will be another interesting weight class if this fighters decided to move up and shake the division.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small
Ok, it's finally official, Tim Tszyu will be fighting Tony Harrison. Yes, he was the man who beat Charlo in their first fight, it's a bit controversial, scores were 115-113, 116-112 and 115-113. But in the rematch, he scored a knockout win against Tony to close their story line, and Charlo didn't give Harrison the time and doesn't want it to leave to the judges scorecard. The fight will be interestingly enough going to be in Australia, March 12 on a location yet to be determine.

Quote
BoxingScene.com has confirmed that plans are in place for Tszyu and Harrison to meet in a fight that will come with the interim WBO junior middleweight at stake. The bout will take place on March 12 at a location to be determined in Australia. The show will be presented early enough locally to where it will air live during primetime on Saturday, March 11 in the United States, likely on Showtime.

^ And it's not an easy fight to be honest, so not sure if we can consider this as a tune up fight for  Tim. Because Harrison can still be a threat, he gave Charlo his first lost and I would say that the rematch has the scenario like the first fight as Charlo is not dominating that one and Harrison stick to his jab and then run, until he was caught with that huge uppercut and gets knockout.

The thing is that it will be in Tim's hometown, so he might be oozing with confidence although the last champion that defended his belt in Australia is 0-2. So hopefully it will be the other way around and Tim winning here put a statement on why he is the number 1 challenger for Charlo.
