Michalczewski stopped by Fabrice Tiozzo

[Shaolin Bushido]

WBC light heavyweight champion Fabrice Tiozzo has just scored a sixth round TKO over former longtime former WBO champion Dariusz Michalczewski at the Color Line Arena in Hamburg, Germany. Time was 2:15.

Damn, Neuraxis, I guess this makes Dariusz overrated like Roy, huh? Two straight losses, both beatdowns.

Of course I'm not serious, but hopefully you get my point.

He's done. It's that simple.

I get your point, but if I were a boxer I'd much rather have gone through DM's two "beat downs" than Roys.

It would appear so, and it was also really idiotic to fight a top 5 light heavyweight (who's only 2 losses are against Hill during his prime at light heavyweight and in 2000 at cruiserweight) for a belt after having been inactive for 16 months.

or maybe he had sex before his fight just like Wlad did...

wish i wouldve saw this fight ;o

darius has always been overrated..but in his prime..he would have dropped tiozzo's ass

[Dude]

Dariusz career has to be over now. He was a good champion with a remarkebale run but he will never be the fighter he once used to be. That's nothing to be ashamed of as nobody can avoid getting older and slower.

I saw the fight and it wasn't completly onesided but I had Tiozzo 49-46 up going into the sixth round. I gave Dariusz the forth, if my memory serves me right, but that one could've gone either way. Tiozzo was clearly the better and more active fighter and desvered the win hands down. Dariusz tried to rally with short uppercuts and left-right combos but didn't impress Tiozzo at all. A right hook to the upper part of the head finally took away Daruisz' feet and set him up for some quick shots that knocked him down. He made the count, the ref allowed him to continue but as Tiozzo ****** away Dariusz was defensless and turned his back on Fabrice leaving the referee no other choice but to TKO him. Good refereeing there as the fight was clearly decided and further punishment unneccesary.

His trainer Fritz Sdunek and his promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl made pretty clear statements about the future of Dariusz in the boxing sport. Both would like him to retire. So that should've been the end of a Hall of Fame career.

Very good summary, I saw it the same way. I was shocked though how easily Tiozzo won the fight. I expected Darek to fight much better, at least to give Tiozzo some trouble. No footwork at all, he was stiff as hell, at some moments being a punching bag... I think he should retire now, cause he won't be back at the top, and beating down 15+ ranked fighters isn't a challenge for him anymore. Lots of respect for all his career, but it's time to go now...

[moochi]

well who was darius M anyway? he was another "champion" who never fought out of germany and won many disputed defenses against lowly ranked opponents...

i did like his style, but in my opinion, he was never the quality of a true world champion....

[tino]

if a fighter stays in germany he is not a champ ?

a lot of fighters stay in america , so that makes them paper champs too ...*


tiozzo stated in the french main sports paper that he wants roy jones , he says roy is still a bigger name than tarver or glen johnson.
