Tim Tszyu vs Erislandy Lara

    by Yamanaka: Tim Tszyu

    Robert Garcia is pointing toward a Tim Tszyu versus Erislandy Lara fight that would keep the bout inside PBC. This matchup opens another door for Tszyu to chase a world title while the division shifts and new chances emerge for fighters. It does leave people wondering if Lara is actually the right opponent for Tim. If that fight lands, who takes the win?

    That would be nice. You know, hopefully something like that happens with Golden Boy and Rick Morrigan, obviously, working together. But, look, I think the division is getting better and better, little by little, with the fighters like Virgil moving up and now Tim Suh also, the title being vacant. I think, you know, with Tim Suh, I really believe that he might go the lot of direction because it's between both PPC fighters and they like to work within each other to keep the belt for themselves. If they throw Tim Su for the WBO, it's a tough fight. I think it's a tougher fight. He might end up not winning, and then it's going to be hard for him to come back straight into a World Title fight. In the meantime, Lala's going to want something else. So I think PBC works to a point where if they could do it between each other and keep the belt in-house, they're going to do that. Thank you.
