    Good point. Tim won’t be anywhere near as glib as some of his boosters/supporters. He’s an acutely dedicated realist.

    I liked the control and selectivity Tim showed in his last fight - enhancing the effect of his already formidable power. I’d like to see exactly that again and more, as Tim is still developing and progressing toward his peak.

    The old man visited the canvas himself a few times but I wouldn’t describe Kostya’s chin as weak - though his chin was a little bit less guarded than it should’ve been at times.

    I was recently watching AM footage of KT (vs Vernon Forrest). What a pristine boxer he was with super fast hands. As great as KT was, as a pro, he slowly lost a few of the defensive fundamentals that were solidly in place when he boxed as an amateur.

    Picked up Ryan vs Vorobev about 5 rounds in.

    Ryan doing well, has him cut and the commentators talking as though Wade is winning clearly.

    I couldn’t agree more.

    Once a lot more film of KT’s amateur career emerged he was one of the best am’s I think I ever seen. Just so well rounded.

    He actually regressed in some aspects as a pro as he developed more into a stalking power puncher but still showed signs of this schooling.

    Gave him all he can handle aswell.

    The fight is on the tube now. I think Tszyu did enough to win, not controversial IMO. But I thought at the time Tim might be reaching his plateau but I couldn't have been more wrong.

    Dominant performance from Ryan. Vorobev has always been trash.

    Great to hear Mike "The Mediterranean Daryl Eastlake" Schiavello calling these fights.

    Far better commentator than most of the others.

    Gets you hyped for the big kibosh.

    After Kylie, Russell Crowe, Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman, Cate Blanchett, and about 140 other actors and musicians. Wade is probably around 150th.:sisi1

    Great track Danvers walking out to.

    Is Hamden a half way crook?

    We will see.

    Great performance from Wade Ryan. Thought that would be a good one. Also thought time might catch up with the Boogeyman but not so. Not a bad scalp to have on his record. A former Russian Junior Middleweight champ.

    Seriously though, after Lucas Browne, Joe Goodall, Justis Huni, Jai Opetaia, Steve Spark, he's around 6th.
