Tim Tszyu Talks: Lessons from World Title Defeat, Wedding Bells, and the Road to Redemption

[@rhino69420]

Tim talked about being knocked down by Bakhram as if it was a lucky shot that clipped him early. Watching the fight again, I noticed Tim was getting touched up and dominated in round 1 and before the knockdowns. He was shown levels that day - I hope he acknowledges that.

[@kalencwil3924]

They planned for it. Wasn’t a lucky shot

[@colonthego]

Fundora trauma bells ringing. He got humbled. The rematch is the only option.

[@jasbadsirron6424]

Murt ate those punches like it was a buttered vegemite sandwitch. He realised that Tim had little power and couln't hurt him and once Tim felt Murt's power, it was game over. I think Tim is a natural 147 to be honest. He's style demands he is stronger than his opponents, sort of like Beterbiev, but Tim isn't that strong. He just thinks he is because he beats up on sparring partners...maybe less sparring and more strength, power and foot work. This will also make his career last longer as he sounds punch drunk and it seems he's taken too many hits to the head over the years.

[@firellparker7463]

[@kylehayden999]

My feeling now is, apart from Tim's boxing/movement, that you can't in theory really prepare for a situation like this. If this was his first time seriously getting hurt, you can't know for certain how you are going to react. I still think Tim needs to work on his boxing/movement but I believe this was possibly a valuable experience for him, in more ways than one. Something that you can't truly simulate through training.

[@garycromie9092]

Sadly, the next time Tim gets hit hard, he's going to know if his punch resistance is gone or seriously compromised. It happens to a lot of fighters after they're repeatedly knocked down or knocked out. Tim's description of how he felt was vivid and disturbing and I hope he's okay. A bad concussion is always a worry and I hope he can make a solid come back in the near future.

[@jasbadsirron6424]

Unfortunately, its not always from taking punches in the bouts, mostly its from over sparring. Tim spars too much and needs to work on other aspects of him fight game because he didn't make any adjustments, listened to his BS team who don't know what they are talking about and clearly didn't have any idea what he was up against because they didn't do ANY film studies - which is such a stupid and arrogant thing to go. A film study is the FIRST thing you do when you're going into a training camp and it needs to be done with people who are not afraid to tell it like it is and who know the sweet science properly. Tim's team is amateur at best....

Tim Tszyu should give it another go, but he has very limited upside going forward. He needs to be matched very carefully. Maybe get another trainer in the states, one that will teach him to keep his chin down and hands up. Either way, good luck to him. He had some big shoes to fill.

But instead, he keeps up the arrogant stupid mentality that his team keep encouraging because the casuals who DKSAB get all fanboy excited about it. What a terrible team and trainer he must have.
