Former world champion Jeff Fenech blames Tim Tszyu’s coaching staff for his loss of Sebastian Fundora last Saturday night. He believes that Tszyu (25-3, 18 COs) did not get the right corner instructions for his Rematch with the WBC Junior Middleweight Champion Fundora (23-1-1, 15 COs). As a result, Tszyu was stopped after the seventh round.
Tszyu’s corner instructions are missing
“I feel sorry for Tim. If he happened to him in the first round, he still did the same in the second round and the same thing in the third round, ‘Jeff Fenech tells Jai mcallisterthink about Tim Tszyu’s loss of Sebastian Fundora last Saturday night.
Fenech had to voluntarily adopt the duties as the new Tszyu coach. He could then broom and erase the existing training teamAnd focus only on rebuilding him from the ground. Wipe them out just like dust, and rebuild Tszyu before it’s too late.
Tszyu’s punch resistance has decreased
The damage may have been done because it appears his resistance to the punch has dropped. Spiritually, he seemed to lose the confidence he once had.
“If you are on the level, you need, you need people who can maneuver you and tell you what to do,” says Fenech. “Tim has never been told that he should do nothing in a fight, because he just hit them on his own. Everyone gets the credit for it, but Tim beat all the guys he fought on his own. ‘
Tszyu always fought with the same style throughout his career. He could get away with it when he was younger and fought against Aussie fighters in Australia. Since acting to world class, he has struggled in three of his last four fights. It is clear that if Tim would continue to fight against fighters at the world level, he would continue to lose. There are many other fighters at 154 who can do the same to Tszyu who did Fundora and Bakhram Murtazaliev to him.
Tszyu needs help
“He needed help over the weekend (against Fundora), and he didn’t get anything. He didn’t get anyone because he had a corner of guys who had never had a fight in their lives,” Fenech said. “How can they tell you how to fight if they haven’t had one yet?”
When Tszyu was on the inside, he was chewed by Fundora, who hit him with top cut and hooks on the side of the head. The power that the 6’5 ″ ‘Tower Inferno’ Fundora on the inside was surprisingly good. Tim didn’t like it. So he repeatedly pulled out outside and also hit there. It was a situation-situation situation for Tszyu.
Fundora’s aggression has cast down
“I was completely surprised,” Fenech said when asked if he was surprised that Fundora had attacked Tszyu so early in the fight. “He’s back and of course watched a video and studied Tim. He brought something to the ring that I didn’t think he had. ‘
Fundora showed a more aggressive side of his fighting style in his previous battle against Chordale Booker last March. In that collision, he immediately went to Booker and wore him with uninterrupted blows before stopping him in the fourth time. He did the same against Tszyu this weekend and it stopped with a seventh round.
