    Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu Aims For More: There Are Plenty of Tough Fights Ahead

    Unbeaten rising junior welterweight star Tim Tszyu is looking for bigger and better things after securing the defining win of his pro career. Last month, Tszyu battered and stopped former WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn before a crowd of 16,000 in Australia.

    Austin Trout would be a good test for him at this stage.

      No. Austin Trout is having fun and hope with his WBO legal battle while fighting at 147 on a Christian/House of Worship based platform.

        Again, why hasn’t industry dwelled on an article for the success for non-infectious scenarios about Australia’s 16K attendance for this fight? There were hardly people wearing face masks within the crowd, mainly just personnel or officials ringside

          Globally maybe a trip to the UK to face the winner of the upcoming Commonwealth light-middleweight title fight between J.J.Metcalf & Jack Flatley might work well. This would not only give him his first genuine International belt, but also get him better known in the Northern hemisphere.

            Lil Tszyu is a hero! Sent the school teacher back to the chalkboard.

              Tim Tszyu is obviously a good fighter, beating Jeff Horn was a good win for him at this point in his career. I haven't seen him fight yet, but I've read the reports. It's hard to imagine that he'll ever be as good, or better than his father the great Kostya Tszyu. Who happened to also be a humble, and decent man. A true credit to the sport of boxing, and his country. I'd definitely would love to see him in against Austin Trout, as someone else suggested. Jeff isn't an easy out, and I thought he lost to Manny Pacquiao big time. Jeff showed a lot of heart in that fight, but got his face turned into hamburger meat. It was disgraceful judging, a disservice to the great Pacquiao, the sport of boxing. and the fans.

                I wouldn't rush to a world title yet if I was him.

                Develop some more and continue to improve, the 2 year timeline seems about right. The champs will be a little older by then and he should be peaking.

                  I watched Tim battering Horn and I gotta say I liked what I watched. The dude keeps his composure the whole fight, specially when he put down Horn the first time he did not rush, that's a sign that he is a cool and patient fighter. He seems to have great balance too, that helps tremendously with offense and defense and that body work is nasty.

                  There are a few guys right now in the sport that have caught my attention, and Tim is definitely one of them, I think he's gonna be a problem for anyone in the 154-160 division.

                    Tszyu’s promoter Matt Rose hinted that there may be the opportunity to fight in Russia, where Kostya now lives.
                    A household name in the land from down under. Now, Tim is about to shake hands with Russian president Vladimir ***** and his favorite ( *****'s ) boxer Roy Jones jr.
