Comments Thread For: Bakhram Murtazaliev repeatedly drops, and stops, reckless Tim Tszyu

[Theshotyoudontsee]

Have enjoyed watching Tim and he seemed to be progressing well. Power and natural talent. He went in tonight with the mindset of wrecking his opponent and got caught big time, his defense was crap and he showed very little respect for Mur's power. He was never right after the first knockdown and very s t u p i d l y tried to go punch for punch while still on q u e e r street. He should have been boxing and on his bike for at least a round or two.

It really speaks to him wanting to continue with blood pouring down his face against Fundora like an idiot. Being a tough guy is fine, having heart is awesome. But just like this fight, he showed his lack of intelligence and over reliance on bravado.

Just a massively ****** and immature showing. He needs to go back to the gym and he needs to work with some fighters who understand that sometimes the heart needs to take a backseat to the brain.

Just shocking to see him look so amateurish. Hats off to Mur, he showed up big time.

Turn out the lights baby, the game is over

But still he achieved much more then his skills would dictate

Good for him

still can't believe how flush Tim was getting cracked, those are the fights that take literal years (CTE, PD, Dementia) off your life.

I never saw the hype with Tszyu. The Fundora fight only confirmed my su****ions.

Nepo baby fraud exposed just like Eubank Jr and Benn.

You and your ilks are the problem with boxing. You guys will kill fighters that take on the best for losing but will camp behind cherry pickers lining up weakling and smaller guys and Koing them. Tim has nothing be ashamed of. the great Ali and Sugar Lenard said it best, if you fight every fight you are suppose to take, you will not be undefeated. Kudos to Tim. He can rebuild, work on the fundamentals and he 'll be back. As far as Murtazaliev, 154 contenders got another problem on their hand, the glamor boxing division now for sure. These Eastern Europeans guys, this one, Madrimov etc are very sound and technical and you need real skills to deal with them.

Chavez Jr is an apt comparison to Tzsyu. Only without the weed and blow

Bakhram is for real, sharp with power and good chin he totally destroyed Tim, I was surprised at bakhrams speed and counter boxing, Tim showed all he doesn't know he has no idea in defence, that will probably be the end of him he may even call it a day.

Very pleased with Murtazaliev perfomance but I dont know what Tim was thinking going in like that walking straight to them hard punches completely underestimated his opponent power getting dropped 4 times l with the same punch like that, well, back to the drawing board with pops. 154 getting real interesting.

Tim looked sloppy in there but he's often looked sloppy in there (he's just gotten away with it). Bakhram was throwing tight, short punches and landing clean and hard.

Bakhram was the more technically sound fighter tonight and Tim did everything to oblige him by throwing heavy, wide punches and leaving himself open to be hit.

Murtzaliev is good but I think Tim did everything possible to make him look even more spectacular.

Is 154 the brightest division right now? Strong argument for it with the talent coming out of the woodwork.
