“WHAT THE F*** JUST HAPPENED” - Tim Tszyu reacts to DEVASTATING K.O defeat to Bakhram Murtazaliev

[@beliyya]

Bakhram was absolutely humble and offered Tim to come to his gym and train with him. He said that Tim had some good and some to learn and likewise himself. He said they can both learn and help each other. The interpreter did not relay the exact message which i thought was fantastic of Bakhram.

[@tekopuakanapanapa6824]

That's cool because obviously they took full advantage of his weakness's while they still see he's a quality fighter

He took BM lightly and was cocky, leading up and from the opening bell. BM is an undefeated, explosive, tough, heavy handed, Russian fighter. That alone should of given him more respect.

Please go back to being humble and respect your opponents. This was not the Tim we all know, in and out of the ring. This was supposed to be a similar fight to mendoza fro Tim but he somehow misunderstood this fight and thought he was fighting OCampo. I hope he learns from this.

[@targaflorio3239]

Covered your father's career. An intelligent and humble fighter. Never threw bombs if he was already given a count and in trouble. Would fight defensively and then wait to nail his opponent. I wish Kostya was training you. That would be an amazing new chapter to your story.

[@billwhite9703]

I agree that Tim would benefit fron Kostya's training him @targaflorio3239. But Tim has always resisted Kostya's advice... called him "old school'' and assuned he knows more, while choosing the lame brains he's been working with. I'm pretty sure Tim's days are over. This was a seriously damaging fight. He could have died in the ring.

[@ianlloyd6812]

FFS why are his management putting him through this?

[@Jas_01101]

Keep your head up Tim. You are a true warrior. Taking on the best unlike other fighters out there that only cherry pick dudes with 10 fights, put clauses on them and drain them from higher weight classes.

[@hyme278]

You can say this or that or attack whatever strategy you like but at the end of this day Tim Tszyu was unable to stand before Bakhram for two rounds.

[@jessetaylor9124]

Regardless you gotta respect the Tszyu the man went strait to the best of they don’t back down and he got people that love him with him

[@ChubbyFeralCat]

That guy was able to take Tims best punches while throwing volume, movinf his head, legs using the range. I think stylistically it was just a bad match up for tim. That guy beats tim 10/10 times. He was technically superior in every way. He might not punch as hard as tim but close to tims power added with high volume is enough to get the job done.

[@billwhite9703]

You're right on most points, but Murtazaliev is far stronger than Tim.

[@bigred8438]

I have never seen Tim look so outclassed, almost as though he was fighting in the wrong weight division. That Chechen (?) is a very hard hitter, and I couldn't believe the referee let Tim go back into fight after being knocked down twice in the same round and once in each of the previous rounds. Tim knew he was toast after the first knock down, you could see how surprised he was.

[@Snip59]

He is done sorry to say time has come to retire to beat USA Contenders forget it.Done Australia proud time to retire think of your Health Tim get a MRI scan you need to be checked by a Nuro ASAP.

[@peterpowell9780]

Tim's a champ. He will be back

Needs to go to the hospital

Murtazaliev took this young mans soul tonight, Tszyu will never recover from this humiliation.... I saw it in his eyes.

[@НиколайМакаров-у7и]

В глазах Тима во время боя читались - удивление, отчаяние потом обреченность... выводы: нельзя недооценивать противника, отсюда выходит уважение. Сейчас Тиму надо выбираться из психологической ямы, или он сломается. Если он чемпион то победит себя. Хотя это будет очень трудно, учитывая как его избил, деклассировал Муртазалиев.

[@Samual_33]

Great comment I enjoyed reading that.

[@bradleyroberts193]

I knew Tszyu was going to take an L but not like this... The reason why I knew he'd struggle and lose was because of the size and length of Bakhram. I wonder why they put Tim in with a guy this skilled and lengthy for his comeback fight?

[@abulll2244]

come back to Aus, re-group, take time..dont rush into anything silly

[@johno-gb7ci]

Rather than doing interviews.. should have went to hospital to get checked out. He took some big shots. The fight could have been stopped sooner. Hope hes ok

[@flyingfalcon3767]

Bachram is no joke

[@PhilipBurton-dn3ce]

Chin up Tim...you're an Aussie legend 🇭🇲

[@abudanish5919]

Now tim knows, the punch from hell is real...😢

[@alexwillis7093]

He took BM lightly and was cocky, leading up and from the opening bell. BM is an undefeated, explosive, tough, heavy handed, Russian fighter. That alone should of given him more respect. Instead of TT talking on BM and the future plans for Canello, Crawford, Charlo before the fight. He should of focused on this one. His team are responsible for that. And he shouldn't be in front of the camera in that condition.

[@dtsrdc_2889]

Bakrham is underrated many dont know him because of lack of exposure fight. They sleep with this chen chen Russian guy😂

[@Michael.kyrios]

New management needed . Shouldn’t be interviewed in this state he’s clearly concussed

[@blackscorpion-h8i]

Tszyu had this coming , he constantly runs his mouth and thinks he's pretty damn good , a huge wake up call.

[@MikeD-hn9hf]

Mate, he is 'pretty damn good.' - how good are you?

First, congratulations to Bakhram. Great win and way to make it difficult for anyone who wants to be undisputed at 154. Re: Tszyu…take some time off to heal, regroup then come back strong. Hold your head up champ!

[@hanoitripper1809]

“ he’s never gona back down..” That’s the problem in some contests, you need to be a crafty cat sometimes and not a stand in front brawler… change trainer.

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

But Bakhram had a super wicked whipping short left hook = Tim was open , great fight and Thank you Tim and Bakhram = champions !
