Tszyu vs Murtazaliev IBF 154lb Oct 19 Florida

I also checked the odds after Punk's thoughts on the matchup. I'm sure Murtazaliev was 10/1 to win by KO.

 

Brutal beating he took. Several times his legs turned to jelly. He got hurt with the left hook every time and never adjusted.

 

Tszyu's corner saved him from a BRUTAL ko

 

No wonder charlo avoided that soviet

 

Murtazaliev would beat the fuck outta Jermell at this stage.

 

I knew Tszyu was a ponderous plodder

 

Also this...

 

Yeah, usually I'm in the ''the referee stopped it too early'' crowd but I was surprised the referee let it go after the final brutal kd and shocked when he didn't jump in after the big right hand once action resumed. Tzsyu could have been seriously hurt as he was totally out of it and Murtzaliev was close to peak power since it was so early in the fight.

 

Zoo is just another kid who is an imitation of daddy.

 

Whats really bad for Tszyu is that history always shows us that once a chin is cracked, it never comes back. And given how shitty his defense is, yeah... his boxing future is bleak.

 

I don't think that's even close to an accurate statement honestly but in this case, I agree that Tim's future looks pretty bleak indeed.

 

Well chins don't get better, do they?.

 

Everyone that gets catch clean with a power shot they don't see can go, no matter how good their chin. Not sure I agree this means Tszyu chin is poor. His defense seems much more of an issue imo

 

Yeah but ....his chins not going to be any better ,more likely worse,is X point..


......Chuck Lidell is the good example from UFC.

The only guys I can think of whose chins were broken who won titles (a d eventually succumbed to a brutal KO anyways) were Maskaev and Norris

 

There's tons of other guys too, John Ruiz and Morrison are 2 others off the top of my mind . LL, Byrd and Rahman did too. And that's just looking at hw from when I started following boxing. I don't think it's really a pattern.

 

I'm not so familiar with Tim, but this is another example of why a fighter should take an easy fight after their first loss. There are many examples throughout history of good/hyped/excellent/great fighters losing their first two fights back-to-back.

 

Spence/Bud payday is probably gone…..but Timmy can string together a few Ws, pick up another belt in 12-18 months Virgil should still be there having fought no one…maybe the great Devin Haney or Teo skill 147 cause competition is poopie & Boots is a no name….

maybe that 1 Charlo return after the Canelo money runs out or a Fundora rematch might still be there in a yr or two….

 

Timmy will have to pick up a belt from someone who lacks power. He can't take Ortiz with the type of defense and chin that he has. Tszyu sure as fuck ain't beating Madrimov.

 

Tbf we already knew Timmy was a fraud after Fundura.

 

*by Sunday
quite a sweet gig since they're self served

 

probably he's already made millions off his dad's name...more than Chavez junior even

 

I wouldn't mind being a fiver behind Chavez Jr.....

 

Fraud?

 

pretty much
he can still make a million per fight for the next few years...all he has to do is up some paper title the Aussie media will call him champion and no one will know any better

 

Yes but that's future tense....how is he a "fraud" to date??
