    Tim is a very good talent in my estimation but can he bounce back from his recent stoppage loss. Youth may be on his side in this one. He may be able to bounce back. His father had a knock out loss to Vince Phillups earlier in his career and still bounced back to have a great career. Unfortunately Tims in a tough division full of KILLERS. Ko losses like the one Tim has recently had can change the trajectory of a fighters career, shattering their confidence and chin. I would take a couple soft touches with non punchers and start boxing more and not walking big punchers down as much. He is capable of boxing and giving different looks. This can be a pivotal point in his career where he makes some changes or it could be the beginning of the end.

    No, this was his shot after he lost to Fundora and he failed this one too. Maybe Tszyu can get a Spence fight if he can beat Fundora

    He can still fight Spence or Charlo, but he was not that good from the start.


    He has a heart, but not much the skills and ring IQ to keep fighting top guys.

    First time he's been beaten proper without controversy. Only time will tell, but it would be silly to write him off completely. That being said that it was a very bad loss.

    No. This type of loss takes so much out of you. Have to be a special talent or mind to come back. I think he is done at world level. Time will tell

    Any talk of Crawford or Canelo is well and truly done now.

    But he has the financial backing and supporter base to come back if he chooses. Probably the best he can hope for is to be a titlist again.

    Come back and climb up be top dog in his division. Eh… Not counting on it. But come back and be in a few really interesting fun matchups with his style? Absolutely

    He needs to learn to block a left hook before he does anything.

    He looked like a cab driver. I don't think he's talented at all. He's not cut for this sports.

    He needs to change as a fighter and become much more defensive responsible.

    His dad came back from the Vince Phillips loss and dominated his division but Tim is most definitely not his dad.

    He needs to rebuild his form with a couple of gimme bouts against non punchers before mixing it with any of the big boys.

    The jury is out whether he was ever truly elite (I’m leaning towards not and not just on tonight’s result)

    He could beat Spence, who is damaged goods, and he may be able to walk Crawford down with more success than someone would anticipate. But any legit super welters with power, skills, and ring IQ, will KO Tzysu early.

    I don't see Tim coming back. His name might get him another world level fight but he's done.

    He got his brain scrambled pretty good. That was an epic beat down. Physically, hard to come back from that.

    The brain is not the same after something like that.

    I'll watch both men fight again. Tim always brings the noise.
