Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu doesn't second-guess continuing Sebastian Fundora fight and losing

[garfios]

Sometimes the corner has to protect the fighter from himself. I like his bravado and attitude about the whole thing but that fight should had been stopped with the horrendous injury that was not even a punch.

Wasn't a punch because he came low with his head, on purpose I might add, if the elbow was not there he would had hit the upper body hard. He can only blame but himself, and Fundora had a nasty broken nose to deal with it too, he was getting hit there continuously and with the occasional headbutt, not on purpose of course.

Unless you are a literal once in a lifetime generation great like Mayweather, you are going to lose. Even those types lost back when the competition was higher 90s and before. I liked that Tszyu fight through it, I wish more guys fight to win rather than fight not to lose. We get modern classics like that. I’m poking forward to his next fight especially since it’s on regular Amazon

You're absolutely correct Oldskoolg, Tim Tszyu proved his mettle in this fight.
Unfortunately that horrible cut/scar tissue might cost him some more fights in the future.

That was one vicious fight bloody, damaging, guts, and glory all the way to the finish.
Two warriors going at it hammer, and tongs. It doesn't get anymore real/violent than that these two showed who they were on that day.

Since that fight you can separate the fans from the followers by what they post.

Fundora had a broken nose and nobody says how bad it was because he put on his big boy pants and rumbled on. Poor Tim get love and sympathy for losing which is bad for a warrior. How is he going to improve when he gets pats on the back for crying?

May be fundora and his team should borrow those big boy pants off tim and offer him a rematch instead of crying about being disrespeted and all the other excuses thay have for not rematching

That was the main point ain't it? It was from a head collision. Why put your fighter at such a disadvantage? I think Tszyu redeems himself going forward, but that is an unfair "L".

It was an elbow to the head.

Regardless it was an unintentional foul and should have been stopped.

Why should Fundora give Tim anything? Tim was trying to fight One Time long ago Thurman. Tim was licking his chops and talking trash. Fundora got the late call, he's the one that had to come as he was. I like Merts in Florida too, he has a better road ethic than Tim. Two Russians/Aussie headlining in Florida, this place isn't real.

Interesting choice of words, but please quote where Tszyu is "crying" as you say? Fundora and Tszyu had a verbal rematch clause, but now that Fundora edged the fight in his favor he doesn't want the rematch....of course if he lost he would have wanted it. A man is only as good as his word.Period.
