Tszyu Lost His Heart

[BustedKnuckles]

It's unfortunate he pulled out this time when if he had their first fight, his entire course of his career would probably look a lot different than it is now.

That's a really good point. He was still all in at that time tho. But by the second fight, he:

1. had been mismanaged in the first grueling and bloody fight
2. Was beaten senseless by Murt
3. Was somehow completely unadapted to Fundora in the rematch, plus Fundora was improved

After some serious punishment, and looking completely out of his wits on his stool, it was time to be cut sling load.

I'm all about loyalty where it's due, but he shouldve replaced his team after the 1st Fundora (and I said so multiple times then fwiw). He couldve fought a lighter touch than Murt to regain confidence, and then train with some kind of strategy and skills to rematch the beanpole.

Instead, he found out for everybody how not to fight Murt, and how coming forward without movement and a well thought-out plan wont work vs Fundora (as well as reminding everybody to beware of those elbows). I like Tszyu, but he's a cautionary tale at this point.

he needs a new corner, it was his brother who threw in the towel vs bakhram, australian corners notoriously slow in protecting their fighter,

tzuyu has gotten worse skill wise.
