      Umm perhaps you didn't know but Tszyu couldn't even see after round 2. In rounds 1 and 2 he was landing heavy shots almost at will, when they fight again Tszyu will knock him out.

        The rematch should be scheduled sooner than later IMO.
        Never good for fighters to sit around after winning a title.
        There isn't good history of them returning and being impressive
        in the ring. 3 months should be enough time to heal, then start training.

          WTF Mundine?

            A great fight would have been both fighters on a level playing field. If Tszyu could see it would have been over inside 6 rounds. The fight we saw was a war of attrition, Tszyu constantly whiping blood out of his eyes while Fundora threw lazy jabs.

              I frankly don't care who Crawford's next unfortunate victim is. I only care that he fights again soon.
              Tszyu is a superstar of the sport, he's the best at 154 and would have been undisputed 16 months ago if Charlo didn't run away.

              It's not his fault casual American boxing fans are still sleeping on him.

                For sure that blood wasn't fun and it hindered his performance, just like Fundora's nose and drinking blood wasn't fun. I think is going to be another war of attrition, and Fundora's should be more settled into his new style of using his height and reach. Remember that it was the first time that he employed that tactic and probably he wasn't confident enought in the first couple of rounds, he was a little tight, coincidence or not he was loose and more asserted of himself after the 4th round. Kudos for both, they showed heart and grit and hindsight is always right. They thought Tim was going to steamroller over Fundora's and didn't happen. I'm all for it for a second try.

                  What makes it more ****** is fans are just okay with it making comments like "Good news, he's stepping up doe." As if the winner will be available in just a week. After one year of being inactive as a rock, fans are just okay with another six months of waiting minimum. So silly.

                  And is it really fair to call out the winner while here you are sitting on your ass relaxing and the guy you're waiting for will have to nurse his injuries and he himself need ample time to rest, especially if it's a hard-fought battle?
                  Fans nowadays have no sense of time. Tolerating inactive fighters waiting around for fighters who have fights scheduled don't realize how ridiculous it is. It's disappointing.

                    I don't sleep on him. I see him for exactly what he is, which is a flat-footed, tough, volume puncher with a good chin, lots of heart and very little head movement.

                      You'd be lucky to see Spence or Crawford back in the ring in six months. No fight scheduled, no ongoing negotiations, nothing. But they have to announce something they're not serious about to bide time and lessen the pressure.
