Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu Pounds a Gutsy Brian Mendoza, Retains WBO Title With Unanimous Decision

[Loque-san]

Farhood gave the first round to Tszyu. Im not sure he even threw a punch.

I didn't pay attention to Farhood's card. Tszyu definitely started slow.

Zsyu seemed to follow the same game plan in this fight as he did in the Tony Harrison fight, except Harrison couldn't tolerate the beating that Mendoza did.

I think Crawford is being overinflated these days for beating a damaged fighter. Tim would be the biggest, hardest hitting opponent by far that he has fought. People thinking its a guaranteed win for bud may be in for a rude awakening

This comment is bizarre. Crawford was rated way before the Spence fight. If Spence was so damaged.. surely a guy like Danny Garcia wouldn't have lost a wide decision against him. People just say anything

If Tzyu - Bud happens, I'll be happy to take some money. Tim's defence is extremely leaky and he got hit with some big shots tonight. Name me one trait other than power that Tim has to trouble Bud? If you can't name anything else, then all he clearly has is a punchers chance.

Tim did better than I thought he would. I had him up by three points from the start, he might have won by four.

This was by far Tim most impressive performance. He thoroughly beat Mendoza down, but he also took Mendoza best shots. I’m kinda over the charlo fight after that canelo whooping. Styles makes fight and even tho both are coming of a loss, I think either Jesus Ramos or Fundora would present the best fight for Tim.

Decent fight. Crawford and Charlo would stop Tszyu. His offense is too vanilla and basic and he doesn't throw when his opponent throws. He's not capable of counter-punching, only attacking, and he stops attacking when his opponent attacks. That's going to be a major problem for him going forward. Also, feints and stutter steps freeze him. Mendoza could have won this fight if he didn't back up so much. He'd land, then pull back. You cannot back up against Tszyu. That's the only time his basic offense gets going. I don't see him beating Bud or Jermell and he'd be 50/50 against Spence. Errol would punish him with the jab and eat that body up.

Horne was a big, tough, rough fighter with basic offense. Remember what Bud did to him. He'd do basically the same to Tszyu. Trust me on that. I'd bet my left arm and left testicle on Crawford if Tim is ****** enough to fight him.

Another comfortable win by Tszyu, let's hope Charlo stops running soon, Tszyu deserves to be undisputed, what a year!

Lol. "His offence is too vanilla", know much about boxing do ya? If his offence is too vanilla why can't any opponent handle it so far? Let me guess you thought both Harrison and Mendoza would beat Tszyu as well? Tszyu definitely beats Spence and Charlo but we'll never know with Crawford because it's pretty obvious by now that he won't move up to 154.
