Kostya Tszyu from the 2nd Sharmba Mitchell fight vs. Teofimo Lopez from the recent Taylor performance back in June. Location: Madison Square Garden.
Despite the fact Tszyu was already considered past his prime, he actually looked his best in years in a rematch against Sharmba Mitchell in 2004. Mitchell gave Kostya a good fight in their 1st meeting and was actually on a good streak coming into their rematch. Moreover, Sharmba was the betting favorite before the Tszyu rematch (something that is forgotten today).
And, of course, Teofimo really put it all together this past June against Josh Taylor in a fight he was supposed to lose.
How do you see it going?

Are you sure about the odds? Where did you get that info?

I don't have exact odds. But it was mentioned in couple of articles (without exact numbers, though) as well as by the Showtime crew commentary, that Mitchell was picked to win prior to their 2nd fight. Tszyu was off for long, sidelined by injuries. While Sharmba stayed active and formed a fine win streak.Joson wrote: ↑10 Sep 2023, 06:07Are you sure about the odds? Where did you get that info?
