    I hated seeing that version of Errol in there. Errol lost his physicality, reflexes etc. He still has his skill set but it was like watching a nerfed way slower and weaker version of him in there. Tim didn’t outclass him with skill he was just the way bigger and stronger man.

    He was out the ring for over for 3 years and is pushing late 30s after the worst beat down of his career and had a near fatal car accident beforehand it was obvious he needed a miracle to win.

    Both are past their best and damaged goods, But weight isn't an excuse because Spence was always a weight bully.

    You getting triggered is karma for all the crap you have talked about Tszyu and other Aussies for years you don’t even have the decency to spell his name properly.
    Tim Tszyu beat Errol Spence it will go down in history.
    New South in ya mouth!

    Spence was never great anyway

    I thought he might have jabbed his way to a points victory but it's clear his mind was on getting through the fight and retiring

    You shouldn't be that broken up, if anything, you should be pleasantly surprised and proud of him. Like I said before the Crawford match. Spence was shot to bits and a barely cognizant crusty reanimated corpse, who was drained to within an inch of his life, and that he was going to get manhandled. Not because I rated Bud that highly, because I knew Spence's punch resistance was badly compromised after his near death car accident and a shell of a man. Then add to that, his only advantage, which was being a southpaw was taken from him. So he had a frail sitting duck in front of him. So the fact that he came back after 3 years off, 2 divisions north of where he last fought, and still managed to go the full 12 rounds and take as many rounds off of Tim that he did in the process, impressed the hell out of me. It also puts into perspective how shot beyond belief the current version of Tim is. Because I thought for sure he was going to steamroll him. So the whole debacle from both guys, was depressing beyond words, and they should both walk away from the sport after it.:lol:

    Zoo is a joke. He’s in his prime age wise but knows to stay far away from Vergil and Ennis after the Fundora beat down.

    Yeah, he's always been overrated. Vergil and Ennis massacre him. Quite frankly, even old Lara probably smokes him. I'm not sure he gets past his own brother Nikita at this point.:lol: Tim was a good slightly above domestic level fighter, slightly better than the likes of Harrison and Gausha, which isn't saying much. As much as I dislike Jermell Charlo, that was a terrible match up for him which he'd be badly obliterated in.

    Just say "turnabout is fair play" as that doesn't highlight you excusing the 2nd best Tsyzu for the same thing. What? Are you a Democrat or something?

    So you think 'throw back' type fighters who have a history of taking the toughest fights possible ( to their own detriment ) are jokes?

    He prefers guys like wanky tanky who duck dangerous fights and beat up women.

    One of the most overhyped fighters on here in the last decade.

    #Noexcuses this was a pick em fight and Spence was the favorite in many places. Tszyu was simply the better man.
