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

He isn't exactly a P4P star in the making or anything, but the good thing for Tszyu is that because he's Australian and not American, he can continue on and will likely get another belt back soon. From my personal observation, those outside America don't have the ******ed "thou holy zero-ness" religious followers where the soft coddled "0" is somehow valued over anything else in the world.

Tszyu will be able to get paydays in Australia at any point in the next 15 years. He can lose his next 5 fights in a row and the Australians will still pack 60,000 into a stadium to see him face a returning Anthony Mundine.

I think he will have a decent career though, he's pretty good. Not P4P as you say, he's a bit of a flat track bully, nowhere near as refined as his father.

Still he's the best current second generation boxer by a distance imo, and solid world level.

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

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

I think the way he lost the 0 is what matters, he wasn't beaten by the better fighter he was beaten by an accidental cut above his eye. The biggest issue with the loss is now he has no belts so no one has any reason to fight him, why would they fight a warrior like him for nothing?

Now I feel bad. Timmy was talking more junk than a used car salesman before. Now he's been humbled, and pity party is on.

What junk was he talking?

[JJ75JJ]

Tim is a good fighter, but he is not future p4p material as some guys suggested. He is decent and he will likely win the belt again. These guys at 154 can all lose to each other.

The only reason he lost is because of the cut. Even with the cut it was a split decision.

I feel bad for Wilson, he actually faced two top fighters on the road and Zarafa was fed to the dogs. Timmy was spoon fed all along. Why not feel bad for the blown up lightweights and guys who lost fights before Timmy got to them. Fundo lucked out when they didn't drag him to Oz.

Umm the only reason Tszyu lost was because of the cut, did you even watch the fight?

[JJ75JJ]

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.....

The elbow was a total accident, I think Tszyu got caught up on Fundora's feet and he actually fell into his forarm/elbow. I think Tszyu slipped a couple of times on Fundora's blood just before it happened.

I'm a huuuuge fan of Tszyu! But if he loses the next 5 fights in a row, I won't even watch him. There's no point in him hanging around in Australia fighting has beens and taxi drivers, his future opponents reside elsewhere and they won't keep travelling to Australia, especially not while he doesn't have any belts.

…what?



those are excuses. Doesn’t matter if they’re true, they’re excuses especially the second one, because before the fight he said it wouldn’t be a problem. That makes it an excuse when you say that after.

As I said elsewhere in response to someone else: when Valero got his gusher, he notched it up and basically went for broke. Tszyu could and should have taken Fundora out long before that cut. Now the narrative is that Mendoza is better than Tszyu and we know it’s not true. But that will be the narrative. Because Tszyu took his foot off the gas.

Troll.

Tim has been humble and gracious in defeat and not made a single excuse we all know without the cut Tim stops Fundora the rematch will prove it.
