    He's probably only 1 - 2 wins off fighting for a title.

    I’ll bet she enjoys using his credit card though.

    From what I've seen of both I believe Grach is the better boxer. But that doesn't mean he can't lose to Talivaa, as he did tonight. It's not the first time a guy has lost to someone he's previously stopped, but its' the heavyweight division so it only takes on good shot to change a man's destiny.

    Talivaa has got a lot of work to do if he thinks he moves on to the next level from here. He's way to careless/reckless. It worked to a point tonight, but that doesn't meant it's going to work going forward against higher level opponents.

    Grach needs to go back to the drawing board and assess what went wrong. He didn't look anything like he did in the first fight, to the point I wouldn't be surprised if he was sick or lost to much weight in the leadup to the fight. His punch resistance wasn't the same.

    The commentators were saying he's lost a fair bit of weight. Should have stuck to what was working in the first fight.

    Yeah he may not be the greatest but he is a good fighter he doesn’t duck anybody he doesn’t use Diva tactics or stack the deck in his favor. He’s an exciting fighter that gives his all you can’t ask for much more than that. We are a small population in Australia and we get behind our guys maybe it can come across as overrating them but we are just happy to have fighters who can hang on the world stage.

    He stands right in front of his opponent after throwing, often with his hands down.

    Tim is genuinely world class. 154 is arguably the most stacked division in boxing and he’s a legitimate powerhouse at the weight.

    My issue with Tim is that he is surrounded by muppets. This was the sort of fight he needed after Fundora, not the monster they put him in with.

    And he shouldn’t have taken the Fundora fight (as good as his performance was) at such short notice. That was a bush league decision by his people.

    Tim has limitations. He’s a straight up and down, go forward fighter. But he is brave, has very heavy hands (KO’s via accumulation more-so than one punch power) and a huge motor.

    He is world level. His team are amateurs though.

    Tszyu-Fundora remains one of my favorite modern thrillers.

    Tims loyalty is to be commended but when you reach the level Tim has you need to graduate and surround yourself with more capable people.

    Just watched the Tszyu fight. Kudos to anyone who steps in ring but Spencer is not top caliber. Father threw in the towel like that was the plan all along. Spencer hardly threw any punches. Pretty disappointing effort on Spencer's part. He fought scared.
