Tim Tszyu has really made a fan of me. This guy has a great attitude , the right idea about staying busy and maximizing his opportunity in boxing. He is a real fighter , not just some famous guys kid. He's really good too. I love the seek and destroy style and Tszyu fights like that.

I hope Tim Tszyu becomes the face of boxing. He needs to learn some defense to match his power and he will be OK. Tim is one tough SOB. He is what boxing needs.

The difference between a person that doesn't know boxing and a professional fighter.


BS: In my opinion, as a boxing writer, Crawford’s power didn’t transfer to 154 pounds. What did you, as a boxer, think?

Tszyu: I don’t know. It went 12 rounds. He did do some damage to Madrimov. It’s [because of] Madrimov’s style. He’s always moving. It’s tough to catch him.

BS: We’ve seen statements and reports indicating hard feelings between Alalshikh, the Saudis and you and your management and promoter. Can you clarify what has happened?

Tszyu: Look, I’ve got a team behind me, No Limit and Premier Boxing Champions, working tirelessly, nonstop, presenting me opportunities. All business goes through them. I’m not going into a meeting as a fighter with a promoter. It’s not the way I do things. It goes through the team. From what I heard, there hasn’t been proper introductions. I’m happy with PBC and No Limit, and we have a great road ahead of us and that’s got my full attention.



Smart man! Many athletes and musicians have been screwed over due to not letting their legal team handle the business end of things. Don King screwed many fighters who met and agreed to contracts in private meetings.

Turki doesn't care to respect the nature of how some may want to do business. Screw Turki for his arrogance and Up the fighters who don't kiss Turki's Arse. So far that has been Tszyu, Inoue, Tank and Ginger....

Yes, very few fighters have resisted the allure of a quick buck and decided to do it their way, stand on their principles and continue being loyal to their own team. Good luck to Tim. He will do well. Interestingly he mentioned Lubin after Murtazaliev. That is very strange. Lubin rejected that fight twice already. I wonder why his management team is going back to that. Lubin has nothing really to offer to Tim (assuming that Tim wins the title).

There may be some kind of contractual issue or it could be a mandatory etc. I reckon he needs to focus on the job at hand and I'm sure Tim will.

Tim is selling the lions skin before the lion is dead. Mertaz by KO. In Florida.
