Tszyu vs. Ocampo Betting Analysis
Tim Tszyu
Tszyu is a 28-year-old orthodox boxer out of Sydney, Australia. He has a current record of 22-0 with 16 KOs. Six of his last eight fights have resulted in a KO victory for him and he is defending the interim WBO junior middleweight belt.
“The Soul Taker” is known for his fast hands and knockout power while walking down his opponents all over the ring. The only disadvantage Tszyu will have in the ring is that he is coming into this fight with 76 fewer professional rounds under his belt than his opponent.
Carlos Ocampo
Ocampo has seemed to be in the game for a long time but is still only 27 years old. He is more like a 34-year-old in boxing years because of all the wars he has been in and the killers he has faced. His professional record is currently 35-2 with 23 KOs.
His only two losses have been to pound-for-pound ranked world champ, Errol Spence Jr. and upcoming contender Sebastian Fundora. Ocampo will always show up ready to fight and will be enjoying a height and length advantage over Tszyu this weekend.
Injury Report Updates
No injuries have been reported to the WBO.
