Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu Dominates, Blasts Out Tony Harrison in Ninth Round

[LG Motel 22]

Tim currently has to be one I the best fighters to watch, man Is beast, all offense. Him and Charlo should sell out.

Pretty sure the guy who picks based on race also believed there was a downside to not picking based on race.Now the problem is that it is a decision making process where the best qualified is not chosen for skill, attributes etc....We have seen in politics and the workforce how this is poor policyin choosing to make identity paramount and qualifications secondary. Now the poster also suggested that whites, asians, latin people should do the same....

The problem is the mentality because you know it doesn't end with just cheering for a guy in a sporting event.They have already given up their stance and motives for what they believe is better.We can downplay it and play word games calling it tribalism, etc or we can identify it for what it is. In a lot of other instances, this IS called racism.Nobody is arguing the extreme or spectrum. The definition is based on a superiority due to skin color-there doesn't need to be an institution which supports it..

That institution is called *** today.

IMO I think the ref Danrex Tapdasan did an excellent job

Why would you want to see a defenseless fighter take punishment when they're basically already unconscious ? That's the stuff that ends lives or leaves guys in a hospital bed wearing diapers.
I could understand if the guy was a rapist , or murderer, or just a horrible piece of s h i t but there's no indication that Harrison is any of that.

Harrison’s corner should have immediately thrown in the towel after the beating he took. The good trainers who look after their fighters would have never allowed a fighter in that condition to continue. The referee saved Tony and made the right decision.

And apparently Jermell Charlo, who to my knowledge has never been down or hurt as a pro, can't take a punch...

It was a while ago but “On May 24, 2014, Charlo defeated Charlie Ota at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec. Charlo was dropped in round 3 but he still won a unanimous decision after twelve rounds, with the scorecards reading 118-109 twice and 115-111.” It was a chopping right hand as Jermell fights with his left hand in a very low position by his waist. That’s tailor made for Tszyu’s right hand which did in Harrison before the uppercut barrage. Maybe I haven’t followed this division closely but in looking at Jermell’s record, I didn’t recognize one boxer. Tszyu will get hit for sure but Charlo will eventually get rocked by his right hand.

What did he do to you to call him a chump?

He didn't do anything.

[steeve steel]

Oh ok...that's why he lost....Had nothing to do with pressure, power and timing vs movement and only a jab. Tony thought Tszyu was a hypejob but as it turns out, the dude who failed nearly every big test (aside from a gift against Charlo) not named Grady Brewer, Ishe Smith etc was the hype job.

I'm not saying it wasn't a good performance from Timmy, but if you're going on this performance to assess his chances against Charlo, you might be deceived... And most real boxing fans know Harrison has always been a B+ fighter, meaning he chokes when put to the test.

Last time I checked, we are ALL humans. Never seen a black panther get into a leopard just because he has spots with all the other black panthers cheering on their cat in the fight.
You know, MLK would be turning in his grave if he knew 50 years on from his death there's still people like you spouting your nonsense. If you were in the military fighting alongside white and latino guys you'd have a different viewpoint.

If you truly knew about MLK, you would know that before he was MURDERED by white folks, he regretted that integration bull****. He stated it himself, his i have a dream had turned into a nightmare.. Can you prove that I wasn't in the military, hahahah.. As if racism doesn't exist in the military. You have a lot to learn. Anyways, I will always root for my peoples. it's only natural

The formula I use is if a poster here one-sidedly favors fighters of one particular race or color that matches their own, that can be bias or tribalism, but it is when that same poster one-sidedly hates on all other races or colors, not just picking against them but hypocritically insulting other races and colors for the very same thing they forgive or praise their own favorites for. At that point it becomes glaringly obvious.

Typically there are 4-5 of those people on the forum regularly that fit that modus of operandi and before they even post something - I know exactly who they are going to praise and who they are going to insult, like clockwork; ridiculously predictable. They don't define racism because that's institutional for the most part, but they certify and brand themselves racist with every one-sided comment they make, like adding another nail into their coffin almost every day. Sometimes they will find some fighter of their ilk that they don't like to try to throw up a smokescreen but their pattern is set in stone so their feeble attempt fails. Most of the time, they don't try to cloak their bias, they flaunt it.

That's why I appreciate people who look at the fighter, his background, his skills, how humble he is, the dues he has paid - instead of immediately picking an obvious favorite and hating on anything else.

You're the fool who calls people racist apparently if they don't pick the black fighter. You called me a racist for thinking Rey Vargas beat Foster. It was a baseless accusation and really foolish. You see racism in everything and love calling people racist because you're an ****** agitator.

Why would he need to use the jab that much when the other guy was throwing nothing but jabs and Tim's strategy was to time it by going over and under it which was pretty successful by the way. He adapted to the fighter in front of him and did exactly what he needed to do.

You can jab coming forward too not just on the back foot. It makes someone offense even better can't always time everyone. Probably could've stopped him earlier in the fight.
