    I saw the fight. Forrest was tough and game and I thought that he won the first round. Tszyu turned it on in the second round, and started countering like a friggin mofo. Great fight, they fought like pros.

    Tszyu was a badass even back then.

        fi thought that Tzyu used better boxing skills in that fight than he ever does anymore...either because his reflexes are slipping or because he can rely on knockouts better since he no longer has to wear headgear....but in any case he boxed beautifully and he seemed much mroe slippery than he is now

          My main reason to start this thread was to show that tszyu can box and is not one dimensional slugger as some other fans say.
          So dont be surprised when he will outbox and ko Floyd Mayweather.

            Tszyu started knocking everyone out when he started as a pro, so he 'fell in love with his power'.
            It wasn't until after the Vince Phillips fight that he decided to drift back towards his amateur skills.

                WOW, Zoo looked awesome. He was obviously the shorter fighter but he was finding a way to land very strong hooks with both hands. I was impressed by his power also.

                You know what's sad?? this is the first time
                I have seen zoo fight. I have yet to see his current devestating power that everyone talks about. Damn showtime.

                    ....I thought the same thing, and I think since he turned pro he changed his style more than a little. If he had fought Phillips that way he would have never gotten himself into trouble.
