this is soooooo refreshing to hear - I hope young boxers in the gyms now will pay attention

Exactly - no whining or bs excuses from Tszyu. IMHO Tszyu can carry on for now without any real hit to his stock value. Fighting through the vision impairment and only losing by split decision to the motivated Fundora is a badge of honor. Yeah, his record doesn't have the 0 but I couldn't care less. Now I know he has heart and I'll be happy to watch his next fight.

I'm sure they will - but how they view his 'take' will depend on how his career goes from here. If he is sidelined for 2/3 years and comes back at 32 years old post prime (when he is peak prime now) then those young boxers in the gyms will rightly conclude that protecting the '0' is the path to follow

"It was a good war," said a disconsolate Tim Tszyu, having lost his undefeated record and his WBO super welterweight title to Sebastian Fundora at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas."It started off well. We knew he was awkward, tall, rangy, flicks that jab." What we did not know if that the fight would turn into a gory bloodbath, with Fundora's nose broken and pumping blood for the majority of the fight and a Tszyu would on his head would pour like a faucet for 10 rounds. "The cut, of course, played a part a bit," Tszyu admitted. "I couldn't see him, but no excuses. To say I fought in this arena, I want to come back and do it again if I can. I had one weeks' notice [after Fundora came in for Keith Thurman at late notice], it is what it is." The downbeat Australian said he wanted a rematch, but that he was open to any major fight at 154, including Errol Spence and Terence Crawford. Spence gate-crashed the ring afterwards to challenge Fundora, in a move Tszyu called "interesting" but Tszyu is also open to facing Spence.
