Keith Thurman vs Tim Tszyu Prediction
This match is creating a lot of buzz in the boxing community and will be streamed live on Prime Video.
Thurman boasts a record of 30 wins, 1 loss, and 0 draws, while Tszyu remains undefeated at 24 wins and 0 losses. The event is anticipated to attract a sizable audience and is being promoted as a significant boxing showdown.
Thurman is moving up in weight as many boxers do later in their career, Thurman’s aim is still to go down as one of the greatest and fighting at 154lbs in the next step in his journey.
Thurman and Tszyu possess distinct fighting styles which will make for a fascinating match-up. Thurman, nicknamed “One Time,” is a boxer-puncher renowned for his 73.33% knockout rate. He is known for his speed, power, and ability to control the ring’s distance.
In contrast, Tszyu boasts a 70.83% knockout rate and employs relentless pressure with strong fundamentals and a high work rate.
Despite being shorter, Tszyu utilizes his longer reach effectively. The fight promises an engaging clash between Thurman’s precision and power and Tszyu’s relentless pressure and work ethic.
I understand why Thurman’s boxing-centric and power-oriented approach might face challenges against a fighter like Tszyu. Similar to Manny Pacquiao, who handed Thurman his sole career loss, Tszyu adopts relentless pressure and a high work rate.
Thurman remained inactive throughout 2023, with his last victory dating back to February 2022 against Mario Barrios.
I believe that with Thurman’s period of inactivity and age potentially catching up with him, Tszyu will seize the opportune moment to dethrone the former double-welterweight champion.

“I want him to go, tail tucked, head down back to his daddy in Australia ‘I’m sorry pops. I’m Sorry. The Tszyu name … I’m done. I didn’t know he was that fast’.
