He shouldn't have taken that fight man. Bakhram is Russian, you can't take a fight against an undefeated Russian after a devastating loss. Tim's people are pushing him extremely fast and it's reckless.

[@Theiron2142]

There no tougher then anyone else, and he wasint a Russian, he was a dagi, the Dagestanis get special privileges that other fighters dont get since they are Muslim, they avoid drug testing by training inside of a mosque, this is just classic Russia, not only using people that are not actually Russian to fly there flag, but also ensuring that there fighters are juiced to the gills soviet Olympics style.

[@pedromadrigal1633]

I agree 100% it’s crazy that his coaches didn’t try to have him make any adjustments after the first round

[@blitztactique4689]

Lmfao! The pink creature (Tim) just got outboxed and knocked out by a flat footed, one dimensional cave man! I knew Tim was a hype job all along! 😂😂😂

[@SPIDERM0OSE]

It wasn't a devasting loss, it was a split decision. Winning a split decision is physically no different to losing one, & psychologically speaking there was nothing devastating about it, in fact there were more positives for him to take away from that "Loss" than anything else. Staying on that psychological angle, how devastating would it be to him had his Team insisted he took a fight vs an unranked fighter? It would have told him that they believed he deserved to lose that split decision & that they dont believe in him. He was 100% correct to take the fight. However, in taking the fight he may have learned or confirmed some changes he needs to make to his attitude, training methods & the team he has around him, obviously theres improvements he can make.

[@kushseti8842]

two different networks

[@jxob]

Tim Tszyu is a warrior, for sure. But.... several things have caught my eye about both him and Nikita; they both think they are invincible due to plain aggression and going for the kill once they land a good shot. Way too cocky, way too mouthy before fights (Tim was going to "land Fundura's head in the 2nd row of seats"). Just STFU and get better. That fight today was a mauling. I'm shattered by it, b/c I really like Tim, but his team needs a revamp, and he needs to develop some humility, which will lead to better defence and better skills. If everyone just believed in themselves and didn't address their defects, but tried really hard - if that worked, we'd have about 10 million world champions. Back to the drawing board Tim.

[@mrbungle7586]

You're spot on. They need to be more like Kostya in terms of treat everyone with respect and do your homework.

[@TheSeptuagint]

[@ycee8629]

he got exposed lmao after a good win against ocampo everybody thought he is an elite fighter

[@briankennedy1192]

Kostya got kod badly mid career and managed to come back better than ever, I'm not sure Tim can do the same. Without the headcut he knocks fundora out. Now he's gunshy . 9 months rest and comeback against a lesser opponent opponent see how it goes, love you Tim but I think that headcut mentally affected you more than you realised....

[@mrbungle7586]

@@ycee8629don't think anyone thought he was elite. His lack of game plan and disrespect made it easy for the Champ. Exposed has nothing to do with it.

[@douglasboyd8475]

Tim didn't circle, he just came forward. He didn't feel the guy out. He also didn't pump the jab. The jab is the most important punch in boxing. Watch any GGG fight and you'll see him constantly throwing jabs.

[@ghosthedge]

These mistakes were there during the Gausha fight. His footwork is not perfect , often flat footed and he walks around with his chin sticking out. The problem has been over hyping wins against fighter such as harrison, Mendoza which all were carefully handpicked. Tszyu believed he can walk through anyone. This guy for whatever reason looked very ordinary in his last fights. Tszyu’s team took the bait and thought this would be easy work. What they got was a guy who looked as strong as a light heavyweight and a killer.

[@chrishemsworth5150]

Tim was ill advised by his team they moved him up to fast 💨 he had different areas that needed to be corrected for example a lack of defense.

[@coilsw6]

Actually sounding extremely sensible with some of what he's saying .. I really have to partition much of the blame on Tszyu's team. Again, no plan B ... couldn't even direct their fighter to stay away for the third at least to give him a chance to recuperate. Twice now, I feel his corner has to take a great deal of responsibility in this performance.

[@Soul-Taker]

Nah Tim needs to wear a lot of the blame. There's no way they told him to go out there and walk through Bakhram. Kostya has been saying all week it will be a hard fight, and Tim needs to break him down methodically. If Tszyu had fought as he did against Mendoza and Harrison he wins the fight. Tim's attitude was all wrong from the opening bell, no defence just coming forward and standing straight up, no knee bend at all.

[@mrbungle7586]

​@@Soul-Takertotally agree. Kostya knew exactly how tough this guy is and would be. It was shocking to see him fight like an amateur and think I'll just wear his punches and then knock him out with no regard to defense, the use of a jab and try set things up. Paid dearly and will be very difficult to come back from.

[@azad-11]

Despite how shite his team are, did you hear what Keith Thurman said about being his own man, and thinking for himself. That's what a smart boxer would do! So no, it's mainly all on Tim himself. Tim;s feet are firmly back on earth now and I don't believe he is, or ever will be a qaurter of what his father was. His brother imo is no different.

[@CaneloIsFloydSon-c3l]

0:27 DAMN

[@damienkazmar30]

I think Keith may have schooled Tim aswell..

[@benji187]

Thurman's onto it. At the open workout Tszyu was bringing his right glove down (jaw line) after every punch, even after a left hook or jab. Worse, Tszyu seemed to be throwing his right from that same height. One of the first things you're told NOT to do, even when on the pads, as the muscle memory will pave a path of least resistance that ultimately leads to a bad habit.

Sadly he never recovered after he got dropped the first time. It was difficult to watch, I was like a little kid watching a horror movie through their fingers… brutal.

[@gylescollard5262]

You a 100% right

[@kevindennis4073]

Totally agree….he was under done and not in the right space for this fight. He was not prepared and clearly had not done his homework. If he had got himself physically and mentally in the zone maybe would have gone the distance. He will learn from this as the talent is there but if not he should maybe start again.
