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

[Spray_resistant]

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 a resume’ to prove it.

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

No Jarvis who started at bantam buckled Tim and was controlling the pace of the fight before Thurman stopped him. It was a trash performance all in all.

If you look at Keith Thurman's record of fighting in his last 3 fights over almost 6 years, he basically looks like a fighter who retired twice for almost 3 years and came back from retirement. If we have learned anything from the history of boxing, he is now a very much diminished fighter who is using his name for a last couple of paychecks for his retirement. He can still run his mouth to promote a fight but will struggle against any of the hungry young lions at the top of division.

Spencer seemed to be walking just fine after the stoppage.

It seemed another questionable stoppage, but then again, he didn't seem to complain. No, the referee does not have to accept the corner throwing in the white towel.

Anyway, good performance, although you wouldn't think Tszyu could beat Murtazaliev in any rematch.

In all honesty Tim was dismantling Fundora and his corner made a mistake. He should have one lost and even then, at least the guy runs from NO one, not like the other divas in the sport.

I hope he comes back and wins it all.

Agreed . I don't understand the dislike and disrespect for Tim Tszyu on this site. If you're a fan of boxing , what is there to dislike about Tszyu ? Dude will fight whoever they put in front of him and shows up to fight hard every time. His corner and over confidence screwed him in the Fundora fight and he fought Murtazaliev like a moron. He seems to have acknowledged that mistake and learned from it.

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.

Against Murtazaliev who would KO Thurman no doubt. He is of the Golovkin, Janibek, Beterbiev ilk. No one who fights like Thurman will survive those types of guys.

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?

Where did I ever say or imply that Tszyu was scared? Where did I ever say that Charles Conwell was my favorite fighter? All I meant to say is that coming off the back of two rough losses, one more would relagate Timmy to journeyman status, and the folks who make money off him won't risk that.

If it makes you feel any better, I get called names for asking why Tank Davis never fights elite opponents. I also repeatedly question why Charles Conwell never seems to fight Top 10 guys at 154.

You seem quite triggered over the fact that Timmy has been exposed. Murtazaliev almost took his head clean off. I'd say a Keef Thurman off the couch is just about the highest level any sane person would put Tim in with right now.

My Grandmother (RIP) would have beaten Charlo at this point.

I doubt that. Even a diminished Charlo dismantles one-dimensional Timmy. Next you'll be telling us that Sam Goodman would have a chance against Monster. You Aussies are fkn hilarious.

2 x PBC Prospect of the year so AL HAYMON must of thought Joey was the most promising of young fighters at PBC. And hopefully he can come back stronger next fight. He still is one of top fighters at PBC.

Put the crack pipe down, son. Joey Spencer has been a prospect for 4-5 years for a reason. He just happens to be a guy Al has taken a liking to and throws the occasional bone to. He got stopped by Ramos. Ramos couldn't even get shopworn Lubin out of there. Do the math.

The corner threw the towel in , that's not questionable at all . They just saved Spencer from the inevitable. Barring a miracle the dude was going to get KTFO'd and risk permanent damage. They did the right thing to preserve the young mans health and future.
