Comments Thread For: Deep Waters Recap: Lots Of Blame To Be Assigned From Tszyu's First Defeat

[SUBZER0ED]

Timmy wasn't blind. He was landing punches to the end. He just ate a ton, that jab was like telephone pole in his face. He was eating two or three of those before he could swing.

Fights have been stopped due to blood dripping in the eyes, and you're saying that Tszyu wasn't affected by it?

Lots of blame and no credit. Fundora brought a blizzard of leather for 12 rounds through a broken nose and bad Tim in front of him.

Yeah, everybody talks about Fundora's punch output but not the quality.
Pokey jabs designed to keep range and break up Tszyu attacks, not much more.

Fundora should have taken more risks in later rounds as Tszyu was getting weaker.
But he didn't do that. So to me (and that's personal opinion) that is not a championship winning performance.
Maybe a draw would've been a fairer verdict.

I'm saying Tszyu lost the fight. Any way you look at it. What ever affected him is his and his teams problem. At this point Fundora took his spot. Took.

Spence acting like he's a "big dog." He got his azz handed to him and ducked the rematch. The guy is living in a fantasy world where he didn't get exposed. He's Porter level. He's old news. He's a tune up now. Recycling material for fights fans don't want to see.

I'm not a Spence fan (don't like his style) and I picked Crawford to win when nearly everybody said otherwise.
But writing off good boxers just isn't fair.
Spence is only doing what everybody else is, staying relevant and making money.
Having said that, I don't like the way he jumped in the ring after Fundora was announced winner...

You remind me of when boxers first started to jab. People laughed and asked. How can you hurt anybody with that? You describe what a jab does. You described what Fudoras jab did and then say thats not much?

I’m not debating what the purpose of the jab is but what happens in the first three rounds when Timmy could see the jab coming ?
Anyway hoping the rematch happens and then we’ll get a true result

[Corelone]

I'm not too keen on an immediate rematch. If the first two rounds can happen again, so can the last ten. Let somebody else have at that giraffe.

Bud v the tower would be the best if not the most profitable match up. Considering age, weight, activity and jabs from space. Bud can box, but maybe his power peaks and he ain't no spring chicken.

Great read and great correspondence between 3 of the best boxers-turned-analysts. Nice breakdown and good points

[Slip jab]

I wonder who’s the best fighter out the three? I say Paulie smokes em
