Comments Thread For: Assessing Tim Tszyu's Fall: 'They Should Have Been a Little Bit Smarter'

[BoxingUpdates]

Tim Tszyu's fall from heavily favored to stand as a unified junior middleweight champion against a replacement opponent to a man indefinitely sidelined by a nasty head cut that this week forced his withdrawal from an Aug. 3 bout with Vergil Ortiz Jr. is a significant cautionary tale.

Man they really shafted Tszyu disgraceful long way back for him now

Still can’t believe the fight wasn’t stopped. But the bigger the setback the bigger the comeback Tszyu will be king the world will see!

maybe the writer would like professional fighters to start wearing head gear inside the ropes from now on ? maybe the writer wants to stop everything if it might damage a fighters chance to toughen and grow as a fighter ? And another thing it is a greedy nasty sport no one disagree's with that not that the writer put that out there as fact which it is of course. Protect yourself at all times means a lot of things to a lot of fighters and fight fans...............That is the trouble with boxing these days over protection of fighters over protection of who the next opponent will be (see Saul) So a fighter brings it to the fans and the media (first fight with a new platform, of course you want a ****) This is the fight game, and promo men and corner men, and all men go for the dollar at some point and sometimes repeatedly (see PBC, see Dumbzone) Let Tsz talk with his father he will direct him he has his son's future at heart. Listen to this writer and the fight game will become as boring as it can get at times right now.....................

Like John Lee Hooker wrote many years ago..... " Serve you Right to Suffer " ---- " Serve you write to be alone "................(great song youtube it )

Didn't this guy brag about fighting after a dog almost ripped his arm off? Oh wait, that was one of those home town miracles he's famous for.

Tszyu vs. Jesus Ramos would be a fire fight! Make It Happen!

I agree, Tszyus corner failed their fighter by not getting the Fundora fight stopped before the end of the fourth round. It's ridiculous to fight with such a disadvantage. When a fighter is too brave for their own good the corner needs to keep a cool head and make tactical decisions on his behalf. The Doctor screwed the pooch too. It was obvious from watching the fight that Tszyu couldn't see , the Doctor just had to look at his face to know that Tim was lying about being able to see.

How are you going to stop a fight for a scalp wound on a guy who fought with one arm? To hear them tell it, the dog was still gnawing on him fight night.

His corner should of pulled him after the 3rd-4th round and let it go to a TD. Leaving him in there for the whole fight he was just taking more and more damage to a already bad injury
