Comments Thread For: All Oz on me: Tim Tszyu returns with stoppage of Joey Spencer

[Spray_resistant]

Nice comeback win and confidence builder for Kostya Tszyu. These are the type of fights he need in order to rebrand himself.

So far, his handlers are doing the right thing by slowly rebuilding him. I just wouldn’t throw him to the wolves just yet.

Give him at least another three fights before putting him with elite competition. There is no need to cash him out. He is not ready for a Keith Thurman just yet.

I think its the other way around based on what I saw from Keef recently, Tim should take that fight now,

Win or lose, Tszyu cannot have a dull fight. Sure, do the Thurmond fight next. Why not? It will sell and I make Tszyu a favorite to win. Cash the check. But going forward? Very interesting. Very, very interesting. Whatever happens next I can promise I will watch.

I agree. I don't know if anyone noticed but the arena was packed to the rafters yesterday. Another thing - when Tim is not trying to just walk through someone in round one he is pretty good and very entertaining. He has very fast hands, punches in combinations and his punches are coming from unpredictable angles. He is fun to watch and no doubt Keith Thurman will be paid very well to come back to Australia again.

I'd like to see Tim fight Ramos or Lubin. That would tell us a bit more about where he's at in his comeback.

When would you suppose if he will be ready for Thurman, a guy who's been inactive over the years than active that beat Freaking Brock Jarvis. If he's not, the he might as well retire. As it stands right now, I 'll likely favor Tsyzu over Thurman. I have seen more from Tsyzu both in wins and losses than I have seen from Thurman lately or even at 154.

Well, all I can say to that is; Let him fight him then. The one thing that I can assure you is that it won’t end well for Tim Tszyu.

You wonder know why? It’s because Thurman can punch and has never been overmatched or evenly remotely stopped or knocked out in his entire career but Tim has.

Thurman’s only loss could be attributed to injuries and inactivity. Could Tim Tzsyu say the same thing? Yeah, I thought so.

[steeve steel]

Didn't Spencer have a few fights at 160 years ago?

Yes he did. It's just that he doesn't look strong at 154. He's got good hands, but then he just gets clobbered when he trades. Same thing happened against Ramos.

Translated: "A third loss will essentially end Timmy's career"

I think you are reading something I did not actually write, imply or mean. Tim is a popular fighter and he sold out a fairly large arena yesterday. So far, he has not shied away from fighting anyone, so I am not sure why you would write that or imply that he would be scared of fighting your favorite prospect.

All I meant to say is that Charles does not have a name recognition just yet for any of the leading (top 5 fighters) at 154 to even think about him. He needs to do some more work, win a few fights against credible opposition and then he will be in a position to fight for bigger purses. Check out the recent articles - Charles is next up fighting Jorge Garcia Perez, 32-4, 26 KOs. Does that sound like a big name fight to you?

Ok , let em’ fight him Keith Thurman next then. The one thing that I can assure you is that he would get his ass whupped or perhaps even KO again. Not only is Keith the harder puncher of the two but he can also box too.

Let him take the fight then. He won’t win. As a matter of fact, let them set that shit up now.

So Thurman could end his career. Tszyu is gonna get fucked up.

He doesn’t hit nowhere near as hard as Keith Thurman does.

You mean Thurman the get who got buckled by a guy who started at bantam and who was controlling the pace of the fight before Thurman caught him and get the stoppage? That frail old man better stay far away from Tim if he ever wants his big cashout fight.

You comparing Tim to Pac now? Really? The pressure was on Thurman at the time because he had something to prove.

Against Tszyu, Thurman won’t have to prove shit because he is the better fighter with the resume’ to prove it.

This time the pressure would be on Tim to win because he has never fought anyone as good as Keith before.
