Winding it back is Tzsyu best option in my opinion. Right now Charlo Fundora . PBC Pay day’s. Tzsyu is in a conflict with the Sheik . It’s a shame really because if Tzsyu gets back to his best or even an improvement . The Sheikh could really improve his bank account.

Ok, so you can't go from "this is do or die against an unknown" to "fighting Ortiz".

If he gets past Spencer, the Keef fight makes the most sense in AU. The Aussies saw what he did to Brock Jarvis. Can he do the same to Tim Kazoo?

I can’t believe how much his stock has crumbled
It's literally insane

Really goes to show, IMO, how much of boxing is mental. How do you handle adversity, and do you have the ring IQ to adjust in fights? Tim, I think, prides himself on being an "old school fighter" who wants to slug it out, but doesn't actually have the chin for it, and he apparently isn't smart enough to have a plan B when his style doesn't work. He might go out on his shield, but that isn't enough in a stacked division.

Would you agree he needs a change of personnel
Seems like his team has brought him as far as possible
I might be wrong but I think he can be salvageable

I think Tim needs a change of scenery. He looks unbeatable in his backyard. There is no problem until he gets homesick. At least spend a camp away from home, like Big Bear.

Tim's corner messed up by not saving him from the unnecessary damage he took in the Fundora fight.

The elbow wasn't intentional from Fundora either, the dude is just freakishly tall for the 154 weight class; and when Fundora naturally brings his guard up, it just so happened to be in the perfect line of sight, right above Timmy's head when he crashed into it.

Just an unfortunate, freakish accident for Tim that may have ruined his career.

Tim needs an entirely new corner. Junk what you have and start fresh.
