    Definitely low ring IQ was displayed.

    To be fair, we had to listen to you drool over Timmy for several years. This is karma entertaining us at your expense.

    Certainly not the sturdiest, that's clear. He was bounced off the canvas like a basketball last night for goodness sake!!

    While it may be premature to suggest his chin it utter glass, he has to be added to the Suspect Mandible List, no question

    Wow that was an absolute shocker! Tszyu showed absolutely no respect for Murta right from the get-go, and paid for it.

    No doubt Tim is a warrior, he's got loads of guts and heart. I thought he would have learned from his last defeat but it seems he hasn't. His defense was virtually non-existent. Tim Needs to do a whole lot of work to get back in there, but he's Young and has the time to develop. This is exactly the kind of experience certain Fighters need to be able to reach their full potential.

    Some Fighters don't really start becoming all that they can be until faced with a bad loss like this one. Will TT learn from this, and become a better fighter? Best of luck to him, and congratulations to Murta for an excellent performance!

    It's undeniably a glass chin, a stiff breeze would put him down.

    I have absolutely NO DOUBT Tim will be taking many more canvas naps in the future. No doubt about it. He's simply not world level. I have been saying it for years. No one believed it but as always, I have been proven correct in my assessment. He has no ring iq, no defense and a porcelain chin.

    Problem is when someone is KOed by a feather fisted opponent it’s blamed on ‘defense’ or some other ridiculous excuse like ‘balance’ or ‘equilibrium’ etc other than The Chin. Can’t have it both ways.
