[BoxingUpdates]

All of the goodwill Tim Tszyu has both earned and attracted with his fighting heart and spirit in his career will likely count for little today

I don't think anyone doubted Tim's bravery. IMO he fully deserves all the criticism he gets. He acted like the guy in front of him was a b.m who would fold as soon as Tim put leather on him. Boxing is a scarily hard sport & you cannot go round disrespecting your opponent, whether you are Tim Tszyu, Anthony Yarde or Adam Azim. Azim gave his opponent full respect & put in a great performance. Yarde overlooked his opponent & just sc****d away with a win. We all saw what happened to Tim.

Never underestimate a Chechen fighter

Big difference in being brave and tough.....and in basic boxing IQ. To say he should be commended for not respecting Mur's power and getting hurt and then not having the basic boxing knowledge to move away and hold and take a round or two to recover.....that is simply bad boxing.

I am a Tim fan. Like the guy. But he thought he was unhurtable and got destroyed. If he comes back, he needs to work hard on less bravado and swagger and more boxing skills and ring intelligence.

Silly article.

Murtazaliev is bigger with longer reach, and just as many knockouts. I don't know why Tszyu took him lightly. He must have believed his own "soul taker" schtick.

Overrated aussie clown was arrogant, thinking that murtazaliev was a stepping stone and got destroyed. What's with these clowns from aussie getting all big-headed whenever they found some success, thinking that thy are on top of the world, and then crashing and burning hard? These guys were never good.

There are some very good Aussie fighters, but they don't get the ink. Liam Paro is leaving a trail of wrecks and Opetaie is stepping up. I'm not knocking Aussies at all.
