PREDICTION: TIM TSZYU VS. BRIAN MENDOZA

By: Jay Calderon

On Saturday, October 14 (Sunday, October 15 locally), Jr. Middleweight titlist Tim Tszyu will take on the hard-hitting Brian Mendoza at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre in Broadbeach, Queensland, Australia, and live on Showtime.

Tszyu, 23-0 with 17 stoppages, most recently competed in June, stopping Carlos Ocampo viciously in the first frame of action. Tszyu has stopped 7 of his last ten opponents.

Mendoza, 22-2 with 16KOs, picked up the biggest win of his career his last time out. Back in April, Mendoza upset the odds and stopped the previously-unbeaten Sebastian Fundora in seven frames.

So, does Tszyu make the first successful defense on his gold or will Mendoza continue his streak of explosive upsets? Check out my Prediction in the video above.
