Kostya Tszyu vs Pernell Whitaker @ 140

[generalbulldog]

Sweetpea by UD, I say he takes about 8 of the rounds.

[OumaFan]

Whitaker 12-0, 11-1.

[Spicoli]

Pernell by default and pure ownage...and I like Kostya as a fighter.

Yeah I can't imagine Tszyu actually winning, near shut out for Whittaker imo.

This is one of those "Let me see if I can find the worst possible matchup for a guy in history" kinds of things.

How does Kostya win rounds let alone win? Chavez was a far more active and varied puncher and a pressure guy and he got dominated. Azumah was far quicker of both hand and foot and he couldn't hit Pete.

Kostya like to fight at a measured pace, a measured distance etc. Pete would never let him do either.

Pete moves to his right, Kostya's left, all night long and dares him to try to win the fight with his jab and his hook.

Now is it possible Kostya lands the huge right that changes things? I suppose, but he didn't hit any harder than Tito and even a coked out Pete hung in there that night for twelve rounds.

9-3, 10-2 something like that.
