Almost no one could do as good as Tszyu who fought with one eye

    At least he didn't quit like his dad.

    If a rematch takes place, I’d put my money on Tszyu. However, if he was great. He’d have went to the body. And. If he could’ve - he would’ve. But the tools weren’t there, and that is no slight on him. Maybe he needs to improve in certain areas. Purist fans got spoilt with Floyd, because not only was he undefeated - but he had the full tool kit. Tszyu doesn’t, and he doesn’t hit as hard as his father either.

    Fundora will become a weight bully that should be fighting heavyweight. LOL

    Kostya didn’t quit against Hatton. Myth.

    His trainer Johnny Lewis called the fight.

    Lewis further qualified that IF it had been left up to Tszyu, he would’ve fought on.

    Tszyu was in such a bad way - his answers to health check questions were not intelligible..a clear answer in itself as to the wisdom in stopping the fight..

    One eye and a peg leg matey. Tszyu is a good fighter, under bad luck circumstances he lost a fight. He'll be ok. Fighters catch bad breaks in fights that swing the outcome. That's boxing.

    Didn’t watch the fight…

    but looks like Team slick (Spence or Crawford) is looking to fight Fundora.

    easy cherry pick for the 147 weight bullies

    Could be.

    This was the first fight of his I watched, so I don't have the perspective others might.

    Is he typically effective punching with either hand?

    Spence should have to prove himself first at 154 after getting destroyed by a welter despite being huge for that weight, Bud is only 5`8.

    Shame he doesn`t have the power of a heavy, because 6`5 with a 80 inch reach seems like a natural heavyweight, his reach is longer than Ali`s and Usyk`s.

    Well at least he used his jab well in this fight, despite Tim being the more skilled fighter.

    He definitely hasn't been fighting to his physical strengths, regardless of power. Imagine if he had good footwork, used angles, throw a 1-2 then dip off to the side ala Loma. Even a little head movement with some feints. He needs Papachenko in his corner. LOL
