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

His mindset has to be "kill" or be "killed" now.
The very moment he takes his next opp for granted, he will be selling junk at Cricket games.

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.

Too much belief in his own power, and that "this can't be happening".

I know that the Culcay fight was during Ramadan(?) where he was fasting during the day. Even if that did affect him, there were other ho-hum performances against inferior competition that would suggest Bakhram wasn't as much of a threat as he actually was.

And that's also why there wasn't much of a buzz for a fight against Charlo.

But vs Murtazaliev, Tim's power was ineffective, and he should have seen that. You're likely right that his disbelief of his destruction clouded his judgement.
