[goose 5]

12 rounds.

Probably Kostya Tszyu wins. This is a very interesting fight.

Would Kostya be too strong for Antonio Cervantes? Or would Kostya be perfect for him?

I lean towards Tszyu. Kid Pambele was good, but he does not convince me in this fight.

[giacomino]

Cervantes, UD or late TKO

Cervantes by decision under the 15 round fight or he stop Tszyu in a classic war.

I haven't seen many of Cervantes's films, but grew up reading about him in the boxing magazines. As for Tszyu, I've read much about him in addition to watching many of his fights live and on film.

My guess is that Tszyu would be too much for Cervantes to handle. Particularly if we're talking about both fighters at their respective peaks.

Cervantes had a height and reach advantage over Tszyu, and was a pretty savvy ring technician. He was also fast and athletic. But Tszyu's unique mix of technical skill, punching power, and aggression would probably carry the day.

I'll put myself out on a limb and guess Tszyu wins by stoppage anytime between the 8th and 12th rounds. Possibly Kostya gets floored and rocked in the process, but ultimately he puts Antonio to sleep.

I think that that's the way I see it. Kostya Tyszu was a strong fighter.

Cervantes by UD in a good fight. If Antonio is in his prime.
