Tim Tszyu’s Meltdown: “I got rid of him”: As the arrogance caused Ko’s disaster and the struggle for his future struggle

Tim Tszyu blames his recent defeat of the third round against IBF Junior Middleweight, Bakhram Murtazaliev, because of his belief that he could “get rid of him in two or three rounds” on October 19 last year.

Race on the line

Tszyu, 30, may not want to admit it, but his career is online this Sunday, April 6 against Joey Spencer (19-1, 11 kos) in the Newcastle Entertainment Center, Broadmeadow, Newcastle. Tim has lost the last two fights against Bakhram and Sebastuan Fundora. Losing in Spencer, 24, would be the last blow to Tszyu’s sinking race.

Certainly, he could continue to fight, but he would be one of the many contestants in the division of 154 pounds and not one of the boys on the rise. Would head to veteran state.

If Tim is lucky, he could keep around the site for 10 to 11 years and earn money as an opponent for the best boys in the way the British traveler Derek Chisora ​​has done heavy weight. He has made a fortune fighting as an opponent of the B side for the killers.

The ex-WBO champion of 154-LB Tszyu (24-2, 17 kos) says that some great shots landed on Murtazaliev (23-0, 8 kos) at the beginning of the fight, but then he was caught with a punch in the second and never recovered. Murtazliev left him four times in marking a third tie.

Excess confidence?

“I thought I could undo -me in two or three rounds. That’s what my minds were happening,” said Tim Tszyu to Fight Hub TV On one of the reasons that led to his loss in Bakhram Murtazaliev last October. “I was going to go in with fireworks and you can’t.

“At first I landed some great shots, but all that really did was a trait of which I made a mistake. I never met later. It was a kind of different mentality change. As I felt I felt, I felt at the top of the world. I felt amazing and sharp. I don’t know what was exactly, but the lessons learned,” said Tszyuu.

It was more than one shot that Tszyu was hit by this caused his defeat. Initially it fell in the second round by a large left hook by Murtazaliev. But after that, Tszyu continued to press the Bakhram champion and did not try again the box. Tim stuck with the same approach without any adjustment and was there to hit -with the same punch repeatedly.

“When I saw him again, many lessons were used. I saw it from a tactical perspective, and it was different. I struck with a trait that I should not have been hit and defend -in a certain way. I was hit with shots, but I usually recovered. I couldn’t recover -this time. I don’t know what exactly it was.

“It could have been the things of rehydration, but it was not ideal. You live and learn. Don’t catch yourself again,” Tszyu said.
