    I think it’s clear that those shots didn’t seem all too hard, after watching it multiple times

    Several of those shots were grazing shots and he was already on his seat of his pants smh

    Tszyu just can’t take a meaningful punch, he has one of the weakest mandibles I’ve ever seen not gonna lie

    I dunno man, he just got hit super clean a lot.. not only did he not avoid shots, he didn’t roll with them or anything to take steam off of them either (which you would think would at least happen reflexively at some point..)


    Tims lack of defensive skill or change of plans once he got rattled was very disappointing and honestly surprising..

    Little Twin, Vergil, Ramos and Fundora very likely would have. Bohachuk likely would've as well. He was just getting caught horribly................very shocking to watch how easily it happened to be honest

    It's like he never saw the shots coming. He is too singularly focus on his offense or something. Right before the 1st KD he almost got clipped with the left hook. He didn't adjust and a few seconds later, BAM, chicken dancing his way to a being stopped.

    He got countered really bad. They have to keep him away from sharp counterpunchers the rest he can beat

    He's clearly the type that if you get him hard, his brain goes to I have to get you back hard, I have to retake my position. And that's why he kept getting clipped, he really didn't try to recover, dance, move etc.................not from what I saw. he was in kamikaze mode

    King Tim has been spending too much time in the US lately & it has weakened the Australian steel in his chin.

    Time to bring him home.

    We can rebuild him. We have the technology. He'll be better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

    He cannot see that left hook coming, he doesn't keep his right hand up. He was open to that the whole night and got his china shattered.

    Yeah, perhaps he's more Erick Morales than AJ in that regard.

    None at 154 take that flush left hook in R2, the remaining knockdowns were just repercussions of that first knockdown, some may have recovered better then Tszyu did but none take it and not fall.

    He`s got a come forward style, it was like when Frazier kept getting knocked down by Foreman but just carried on moving forward, no foot movement and no plan B.

    it wasn’t a flash knockdown, it was a legit left hook to the chin that hit flush, it was pretty much fight over from then.

    Yeah, his legs were wobbly but he just kept trying to fight standing right in front of the guy.

    Tims team is rubbish, out of there depths in the big leagues, I didn’t hear the corner mention defence at all.
