You obviously stand alone 'cos nobody else sees it that way. It is a CLICK BAIT. It says Tim Tszyu outlines his '20 steps forward' plan after upset loss. That is actionable, literal in every sense and far from a figure of speech.

yeah there are a ton of low quality articles, full of mistakes, click bait headlines, or headlines that do not match the article at all. they have the lowest IQ writers on this site.

The nitpicking about this headline is ridiculous. It simply and accurately makes reference to a DIRECT QUOTE Tszyu made about taking “20 steps forward.” You’re not supposed to take it to mean Tszyu has a literal 20-step plan - or bash the writer for not listing the 20 steps.

Tszyu could have easily have said “5 steps forward” or “10 forward” or “100 steps forward. It’s not like there’s anything to literally count; it’s just a figure of speech. Geez! Why does this even need to be explained?

As for Tszyu, he’s one of my favorite fighters: he’s got personality and talent; he’s obviously confident but doesn’t take himself too seriously. He’s been more gracious about his loss than clueless guys like Shakur Stevenson have been about their wins. I think when it all ends up, Tszyu will have a much more lucrative career than Shakur.

its a click bait article. the author intentionally picked that quote knowing people will assume there will be a 20 step plan in the article and people will click to see it. its a trashy technique of "journalism" and only low quality writers do this.

Paro showed you how to take steps. Tim might mean 20 tippy toes to a title. He waited for Charlo fighting nobodies until he got beat by a guy who just climbed off the mat. Time on top is short and that boat doesn't need to stop. It will pass you by.

With the help of Mykal Foxx, Tszyu only had 6 days to prepare for Fundora's style.
Questions still linger on the ringside Doctor too.

At the end of the fight, Tszyu lost a close split decision suffering the effects of blood loss & blindness.

The title literally says Tim Tszyu outlines "20 steps forward" plan. Rational minds take that to mean they'll be hearing about some kind of 20-step get-back plan. The title does not at all match the context of Tszyu's comments. Tim Tszyu also expressed that it was a weird feeling not having a fight date to motivate him at the moment. This doesn't mean that the author should have titled the article Tim Tszyu Has a Weird feeling in His Pants.

Tim and his team miscalculated in letting the fight continue after the cut. Tim probably thought he could end the fight within a couple of rounds after the cut. His team should have saved him from himself. Also, the ringside doctor should have called the fight off. I think Tim will come back from his loss.

Your reading comprehension is way off. The headline was pretty clear that we should be looking for a twenty step plan from Tszyu in the article. If you understood something else, the mistake is yours.

Whomever he faces will be dealing with a Tszyu who has taken his loss as a lesson to be applied going forward.

“You don't win everything in life, you know,” said Tszyu. “That's what I realized. One thing I thought about was that, in my eyes, I was never too happy with a win anyway so when I lost I didn't get too sad either. I always had a fear of losing. Once I felt that, I knew that it was going to bring a lot of growth. When you take two steps backward, you're going to leap another 20 steps forward so that's the mind frame.”

- This is the “20 steps forward” plan that Tszyu outlined and the headline accurately refers to - it’s not about a plan with 20 literal steps to it!!!!!!!

Good grief.
