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.

Even that you got stopped tim in that fight and losted. . I have watch it over and over that 1st round when you put to getter that one / two combination that rocked his head back into the car park ...man that's just one of the things I love watching you when you fight....your father was one of the best ever at those big combinations head up my boy you will come back stronger than ever....

[@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.

[@danielgray9909]

Good wake up call for him, he seems to be in a good place after the fight, keen to see him in action again.

[@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.

[@paulpana2518]

@@paulcamilleri182 that would be a shame. In some earlier fights Tim looked like Kostya abit. Holding the arm out picking and choosing his shots. Abit later it sorta changed and he started trying to ko with every punch and walked into every punch also trying to be tougher I guess. I'm not a boxer but a fan so I tred lightly with what I say but I still think he's got that hunger to win.

[@StarLasers]

​@@paulcamilleri182yeah true, I saw interviews where the father wants him to take his time and box, but seemed like he went gunning for the kill round 1.

[@jefft6802]

Tim isn't used to getting caught with consecutive shots that drop him, and thus wasn't used to grabbing and holding the other fighter in order to recover properly. These things are learned the hard way usually. Tim also took a hard shot to the back of head right in the middle of the ongoing chaos. Tszyu also wasn't able to protect himself from the left hook which was his demise, because he was so focused on forward power pressure and that cost him dearly. The best of fighters lose fights and bounce back after learning valuable lessons. So, it's back to the drawing board for Tim and he'll be back with a new understanding that you don't have to be the strongest and hardest hitting fighter to win fights like this. You have to be the fighter who is more intelligent and willing to adjust your game on the fly in order to complete the mission at hand. Best wishes to you Tim Tszyu!!! Live strong, and fight smarter my friend. Understand which strategies are mandated for EVERY GIVEN CIRCUMSTANCE, and your game will improve miraculously! Love ❤️ and Light ✨️ to you Tim!!!

[@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....

[@wayno845]

This is what happens when you want to take on everyone. Even Mayweather was strategic in picking opponents. Tim you have never been known to take someone out early.

They should have stopped the fight after the cut he sustained against Fundora, but they didn't.
