The chairman of the promotions of the match Bok, Eddie Hearn, says Tim Tszyu’s recent defeats against Sebastian Fundora and Bakhram Murtazaliev have proven to be an ‘elite level’ junior middleweight.
Career Restore is necessary
Hearn mentions that former WBO 154-pound champion Tszyu (25-3, 18 COs) should invest in a career and rebuild himself with a ‘few fights’ to start winning again. Eddie does not say who Tszyu, 30, should fight who will give him back after the vintage form which he will display before his losses to Murtazalie and Fundora.
“I like Tim Tszyu a lot. I think he’s really entertaining. What has been proven is that he is not good enough to fight and win at the elite level, ‘promoter Eddie Hearn said Jai mcallister, box YouTube channel, responds to the three recent failures for former WBO junior middleweight champion Tim Tszyu.
The defeats for Tszyu vs. Fundora x 2 and Bakhram Murtazaliev showed that He is not an ‘elite level’ fighter at 154. Hearn added that there are better fighters than fundora at junior middleweight, which calls Jaron Ennis and Terence Crawford. He believes that Tszyu is talent -wise under Ennis, Crawford, Fundora and Murtazaliev. Hearn mentioned no other fighters who he said is above Tszyu.
Below the upper level
“I think the last defeat (for Tszyu) was really crushing, because in the first fight (against Sebastian Fundora) he did really well. When he was stopped by (Bakhram) Murtazaliev, and when he was stopped by Fundora, it was a big blow. Fans are very quick to put you at the back of the guard.
Tszyu appears too much of the first round against Fundora and is overwhelmed with the volume of the WBC 154 Pond Champion. On the inside, Tim was repeatedly hit with capital letters and short hooks from Fundora. He showed no head movement to avoid the bumps.
Error of the rematch
‘Going back directly to Fundora, a stylistic nightmare, was a mistake. He showed no new tools to handle the height or volume. It was like looking back from the front, ‘said prominent sports writer Chris Mannix, and he responds to Tszyu’s loss of Fundora last July.
“He is (Tszyu) now has to make the investment to come back. It is for me to Hold a few battles to get back into the winning groove. I don’t know about his education, but he had very difficult battles, and those battles take their toll, ”says Hearn.
Earlier this year, Tszyu had a rebuilding battle against a low contender for 154 pounds, Joey Spencer, and knocked him out in four rounds in Newcastle.
In that battle, Tim, 30, looked like the same talent as he was before his back-to-back defeats against Fundora and Murtazaliev.
‘Tim is a difficult child but You can say that he is wearing some ptsv Out of those losses. He fought as if he wanted to prove something, but he didn’t fight smart, “said WBA junior middleweight champion Terence Crawford that he discussed the psychological condition of Tszyu during the Fundora Rematch. “Against a man like Fundora, you need movement and a plan B. He didn’t have one,” Crawford said.
When Tszyu fought three months later in Fundora in Fundora on July 19, he was stopped by Fundora in Las Vegas in seven rounds. Tim looked worse than he had in the first battle against Sebastian on March 30, 2024.
