No Tszyu vs Crawford anymore because of this match. This is the first fight to be showcased by Amazon/PBC and all they could come up with is Thurman who had been so dormant for a long time. There were lots of fighters signing a deal with PBC but Thurman being the main event was much unexpected and it's a mismatch.
Erislandy Lara and Michael Zerafa are among the card. This one is a fair fight.

This fight looks like preparation or a tune fight for a Tszyu - Crawford fight and Thurman is a sacrificial lamb for this, a champion and up-and-coming fighter fresh from a decisive win three months ago pitted against a guy who has a long layoff of 23 months is just not good in the eyes of boxing fans, Thurman will have big obstacles of trying to shrug off that 23 months lay off and Tszyu will not give him a chance.

One big concern here is the stamina if ever the fight goes to the championship rounds like round 10,11,12 Tim will have an advantage because of his youth and conditioning, Thurman and his team should all be aware of this, it's a bad scenario for Keith.

don't get too confident that Thurman won't give a good fight on this, because do remember at one point on his boxing career, he had a very good performance. so if thurman wants to come back on this sports, for sure, he will do his part as well. so let us see what he's got this time. for Tszyu, don't get too complacent on this fight. it maybe a tune-up fight but if his opponent is indeed serious for his comeback, he can give a toe-to-toe fight inside the ring.

for those who believe Thurman has a chance of upset. you can very well place your bets on him as he is the heavy underdog on this match. even small bet can give you quite a profit if thurman managed to have an upset

So Thurman is going to 154 lbs now? It's good though, I mean as he age, he might have issues making 147 lbs. However, he will be given a nod to fight for the belt at his new weight class, lucky for him.

One thing that might go against him is the long layoff. He could experience what we call ring rust. But Tim Tszyu has been in this weight class for sometime now and supposedly be fighting Charlo for unification. I check the rankings, and Charlo holds the WBA and WBC (together with Brian Mendoza).

I think Tim might beat Thurman though, maybe Keith is about to hit his sunset in boxing for being so inactive and can't pull the trigger anymore.

I'm also looking at a long lay off as a big factor 23 months is just too long for a fighter to get a title shot at a champion that just coming out of successful defend of his title against a tough challenger in Tony Harrison and this was only 3 months ago, he is still fresh and his body is in good condition, compared to Thurman who will have to struggle with ring rust.

I'm not yet giving up on Thurman although he has a long lay off he did not show signs of aging or fading on his last fight against Barrios, although I have no argue on him being an underdog, because Tim is a strong fighter up and coming fighter and the ring rust will add to that disadvantage, looking forward to their first press conference and let's see if Thurman will thrash talk Tszyu just like he did against Pacquiao.

Thurman has been eying for a big fight and here it is. For him to get this kind of fight despite a long layoff, that only tells tha the is still capable even at his age. Thurman is now 35 years old, while Tim Tszyu is 29 years, huge age disparity but I trust Thurman to give Tim Tszyu a real challenge.

If Thurman was more active, maybe people will be seeing Thurman to be the favorite here, but since he is the challenger and he is moving up, I understand now why he is the underdog.

Or could be the other way around. here's my take, Thurman wants to prove to the world that he is still here, he can still fight and can win a championship. A loss here might say goodbye to his career, so I'll bet on him to win with that attractive moneyline odds.

Another interesting fight to watch this year. Although Tim Tszyu is very active while Keith Thurman seemed not anymore on his prime due to his long inactivity in boxing, I still think that he is a very dangerous fighter. He doesn't have another loss aside from Pacman which was on a split decision, so he hasn't really dominated in boxing yet.

They have more than 2 months to train, not sure what's the standard but they have an ample time to train so no boxer will make an excuse after the fight.

I was checking for the betting odds, and it seems like Thurman here is a heavy dog.
