Tszyu Forrest Gif

I got that fight on my comp. A masterclass by Tszyu. Tszyu in his younger days was like a different fighter compare to him post Phillips lost. He was much faster, much more head and feet movement and threw much more combos. As he got older, he lost a lot of foot speed buy his body got MUCH bigger and stronger (incredible to think that he has fought at 140 for his entire career - amateur and pro) and became more of a stalker. Also he lost his left hook for a while because of the shoulder injury he had for years.

on the negative side, look how low kostya's hand are after the throws the right hand. forrest should have thrown a right hook from out of that crouch and it would have landed easy. nice clip, though.

yeah....that's all he needed to do.

If it were that easy....don't you think he'd have done it ?

Tszyu was a LOAD, especially as an amatuer.

But relaxed didn't work so well with always pressuring Hatton

Yup, always a methodical fighter who takes his time and then goes in for the kill.

As far as his hands being low, he's one of the few fighters who could get away with it because he hit so hard. Notice that Forrest didn't counter because he couldn't.

That was an extreme example of the rest of the fight.
There were plenty of other times where Tszyu stood with his hands by his side & Forrest couldn't hit him.

Here's one example - more to come later.

hmm

I'd like to have these fights in my collection, can someone help me out? That'd be great.

Right now Forrest would beat Tszyu I bet. Forrest fights at 154 now and Tszyu doesn't move like that anymore.

Well thats just more proof that Kostya Tszyu is one of the best at 140 of all time. Nice clip, never saw that fight.
