“We knew from the moment he looked Tim in the eyes at the press conference and went quiet that he never wanted this fight,” George Rose, the CEO of No Limit Boxing, said.

The 'Soul-Taker' strikes again! When Michael Zerafa looked into Tim Tszyu's eyes it was like his essence had left his body. To make matters even worse for Zerafa, he disrepected papa Kostya Tszyu, Zerafa knew he was on borrowed time.

Yep Zerafa knew he was going to get hurt/lose his soul, he's not match for Tim. Shame though I was looking forward to the humiliation.

Tim looks a little chunky in the face in the article pic and the gif. Guessing it's the cheeks and the loose boxy shirt in the other photo.

Did zerafa seriously withdraw?
I sincerely hope Tszyu just pushes forward and past him and leaves him in the dust for wasting that opportunity.
b**ches and moans forever to fight and then just pulls out. We all knew what was gonna happen so let’s skip that fight 110%

It's quite something how fast Tszyu transitioned from a novelty of sorts (son of a legend) to a legitimate contender, especially since it's been against domestic opposition. I can't say it's unwarranted however, he's dominated and destroyed some guys that are tough or tricky outs (Horn and Hogan) and the eyeball test tells you he looks impressive.

What a punk move by Zerafa. He knew what was coming to him so he looked for a way out and used the covid outbreaks as an alibi. Hopefully Tszyu can get closer to a title shot opportunity and fight Jermell for undisputed, considering that he gets past Castano.

Spark gets murdered in the first degree. Hopefully Zerafa didn't quit his day job as a stripper

Should have simply delayed the fight.. no one cares about this crap.. Tszyu played himself… should have took control of his own career and delayed the fight until all parties were comfortable in regards to their safety

Too bad. Time for Tszyu to step up in class. He deserves the chance to earn a title shot but Horn isn't even a good win. I'd like to see him vs J.Williams or T.Harrison next. 154 isn't deep so I like his chances against most.
