Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu says he will be in 'big fights soon' despite shocking loss

[Roj]

I know I'm in the minority but.....

I believe Tim can still be a player but not with the team that surrounds him. From top to bottom his entire team acts like they have their own separate agenda and it's working for everyone but Tim. At some point Tim needs to wake up and admit that his team should never have accepted the Fundora fight on short notice, and should have pulled him when he was handicapped.

Tim didn't lose his last fight because of his lack of effort but because Tim's team once again, was expecting the dog, the warrior to compensate for their lack of preparation and a game plan. I can't believe Tim stands for it, as if he's suffering from Stockholm syndrome. If Tim ever expects to be elite he needs an elite team focused on winning and not riding his coat tails for a pay check.

There I said it!

Well said!

After getting lawnchaired, Fundora got a gift championship fight. Wouldn't be surprised if Timmy gets one too.

He did get one...and failed.

"Cong**** to my opponent on a tremendous performance. But yeah, we move on, regroup and my team will be back."

Sounds like Tim quoting AJ. He needs to seek out boxercise Ben for a camp or 2.

Tim has a few issues to address before thinking of getting back into the title picture. I think he has poor footwork for one. That habit of pulling without moving his feet to get out of range is no good. He also has a very loose guard and doesn’t hold the phone with his right when throwing that terrible left hook to the body. He doesn’t change levels when throwing the hook to the body which is why Bak knew exactly where to throw his left hook each time. He throws that left hook to the body like he’s hitting the heavy bag, with zero defensive responsibility.

He has very little defensive skills & gets hit far too much. Unfortunately brother Nikita is the same.

I see him becoming damaged goods real soon tbh, Especially if he don't learn to sharpen up his defense, the other guys at 154 definitely gonna be targeting his right side with that left hook he doesn't know how to defend against lol

I was watching the highlights yesterday and the first and last knockdowns were exactly the same: Tim throws a left hook but because he wants to inflict as much damage as possible he turns his torso into the hook too much, pulling his right behind his head. No wonder Bak couldn't miss with his own left hand.

Because of his last fight against Culcay... I myself fell for it.

I can see fans falling for it and I can see Tszyu believing it going into the fight, but after feeling Murtazaliev's power, he should have changed up. He was even trying to throw punches when he was helplessly hurt. It's a good thing his corner threw in the towel before he got seriously hurt.

So….its personal

No reasonable counter argument from you typical racist scum

There’s a video on YouTube of his father trying to teach him how to throw the left hook to the body early in his career. It seems he actually never corrected it. KT was showing him to change levels and step left and dig while holding the phone.
