Tim Tszyu vs Ike Quartey

Tszyu in two

 

they punch each other.

 

Somebody gets punched in the face.

 

I love Tim but Ike was competitive with some of the best and was as tough as teak.

I got Ike in the later rounds after Tim has some good moments.

 

Ike UD. Too smart, too good.

 

Quartey pulverizes the overrated Tim Tszyu.

 

Ike Quartey stops Tim Tszyu within 8 rounds and it wouldn't be competitive at all.

 

Quartey makes mincemeat out of Tim

 

Ike Quartey only fought at Junior Middle six times. He went 3 and 3.

Timmy's record in America is 1 and 3 so there's certainly room for improvement.

 

Until Tim shows more, Ike all day.

 

Tim is too slick.

 

I'd go with Quartey by decision, with a wide margin. The Ghanaian's jab would have dictated the tempo and distance, De La Hoya suffered for long stretches from that jab, I don't think Tszyu would have suffered less. Quartey put up a very close fight against the prime De La Hoya (in my opinion, the verdict could have gone to either of them) and even at the end of his career he demonstrated his skills at super welterweight against Forrest (that was a robbery, I still remember Quartey's face when Forrest was declared the winner). In my opinion Quartey was a superior fighter to Tszyu (and he had a better career, Tim is still active, but I think his best days are behind him).

 

Man, if Tim just had better defense I'd pick him, but Ike's jab would land a lot. I slightly favor Ike because of the great jab and Tim's poor defense.
