Tim Tszyu vs Sebastian Fundora - Amazon Prime PPV - Fight By Fight Thread

[garfios]

Since the cut came from accidental elbow to the head while compromising his vision in the process; i wonder why did Team Tszyu decided not to stop the fight after three rounds had been completed? Had they done that then Tim would have still retained his titles. His corner failed him big time tonight.

Only doctor can stop the fight. If the corner is the one stopping the fight, TKO lost for them.

They did Tzyu so dirty. He fought with blood in his eyes for 10 rounds. Rematch obviously.

No rematch clause. Not happening.

[messi807]

If they don’t give him a rematch it’s straight Bs. Spence don’t deserve ****

No rematch clause. Tim will be out for a while anyway.

[messi807]

If PBC wants a rematch, there will be a rematch though.

PBC wouldn’t of put Spence in the ring with the winner if they wanted a rematch..

Bohachuk is WBC interim. So if WBC is vacated, he becomes full champion.

WBC isn’t getting vacated though. WBO might

[jaded]

There is a rematch clause...

Tszyu headbutted the elbow to be fair.

You are absolutely right and I agree. However, the cut was not caused by a legal punch..In addition, they could have easily stopped it much later too because one judge had Tim Tszyu winning the fight as the fight was so razor thin close.

Moreover,,chances are Tim Tszyu could have easily won the fight on the scorecards had they opted to stop the fight due to that cut.

Ironically enough was been said about the unique challenges that represent fighting Fundora and we just saw one of those many tonight. His elbow are so high that that better watch out before lining toward him.

I thought that was the doctor's responsibility though?

No it's the referee's decision to determine whether or not a cut was caused by punch or an accidental headbutt. If the fight was caused by a foul; So after three rounds has been completed then the fight would have been ruled no contest.

Only doctor can stop the fight. If the corner is the one stopping the fight, TKO lost for them.

Wrong! That is absolutely untrue. Not if the injury was caused by a foul.

It's the referee's discretion to determine whether or not a cut was caused by a punch or from an accidental clash of heads or a headbutt.

I am certain that,Harvey Dock made Team Tszyu aware of the situation that the cut was not caused by a punch but by an accidental elbow..
