Comments Thread For: Warrior Tim Tszyu Declares the Show Goes on After Gory Sebastian Fundora Battle

[Smash]

I still don't understand how there was no doctor stoppage before 4 rounds to make it a no contest. The fight took an immediate 180 degree turn from round 3 as Tszyu had blood constantly pouring into both eyes. Just as interesting as none of the commentators mentioned it either.

timmy tried to do a beterviev & didnt want to scream NO MAS

'It was a fountain. And at no point did the cut man ever look like slowing it. Tim needs to look at a new cut man going forward'.

That was the worst cut I've seen with possible exception of Vitali Klitschko v Lennox. What do you think a cutman can do, perform plastic surgery in the minute between rounds? The cutman did great & that is why it wasn't stopped.

First PBC PPV on Amazon. That's why.

They should allow superglue it would have closed that up in seconds, although I don't think people would understand using glue to stop cuts in fighters lol.

Not sure why everyone is gassing up this “Errol Spence is more commercially viable than Crawford” narrative. That may have been the case before Spence walked into the ring looking like a zombie and took a one-sided beating from Crawford - one that clearly exposed Spence’s limitations as a fighter. It ain’t necessarily the case now. Plus, judging by how bloated and bleary eyed Spence looked when he got in the ring after the Fundora-Tszyu fight, it’s going to be months before he’s anywhere close to being at the junior middle weight. On another note, Fundora should take a reality check: He won a split decision against a guy who couldn’t see out of one eye for 10 rounds after being blatantly elbowed.

I realize I am preaching to the choir here, I truly do... But just imagine if Amazon and PBC had not put this behind a pay-per-view wall. Imagine up to 3 times as many eyeballs watching this card. Imagine the the return on investment going forward. What a fight, and it seemed like a solid card with good efforts all the way through. I think PBC on Amazon would have been the talk of the town, even with the NCAA going full tilt. Instead, only a handful of people saw it and only us fans respect it. Missed opportunity.

You’re correct, I think putting a price tag on this was a mistake in the first place with Thurman. I didn’t even buy and still watched afterwards .but I did get the app I’m just not paying extra when I can watch later. ESPN has better content

Roadblock, you're probably right that you could use superglue but is that legal? Most cut men aren't like Panama Lewis, they will not use banned substances. Also, Tim has had a great gouge taken out of his scalp. I would assume he will want it cosmetically repaired at some point & I doubt superglue will help that.

Didn't think Spence looked bloated or bleary-eyed at all.

I was with you up until you stated he was BLATANTLY elbowed. I CAN'T STAND Fundora, but in no way, shape or form was Tszyu elbowed intentionally.
Make it make sense.....

Fundura is ridiculously tall for a light-mddeweight with long, long arms which he was trying to position to defend himself. I didn't think it was a deliberate elbow & Tim & his corner never sought to claim it was.
