Has had a very good career for a boxer with limited ability, heart can carry you a long way.
I never regarded him as top flight, only has one plan, aggression and his defence is terrible. Was just a matter of time before he was found out, IMO. 

Outstanding boxers can succeed with his style, he is not one of them.

I don't know that much about boxing but I get the distinct impression that the IBF is the low rent cut price bastard child of the boxing federations. So I am suspicious about Aussie boxers because they are usually going for IBF titles, which to me says, 'I'm not top level'.

Am I right?Clap Am I wrong?Ouch

Agree Whale. Has a real Jeff Horne feel about it (remember him)

Overrated from day one because of his name. Not his fault

His brother Nikita has even less ability

Funny game boxing - you can be made to look very good against ordinary opposition

These blokes do not help themselves by continually talking themselves up

What were they waiting for? Should have thrown in the towel at the very latest after the third knock down. Ouch He was gone for all money after the second.Dead

Apparently it was Nikita who threw the towel & not a moment too soon. There's nothing worse than seeing such G & D being rewarded with a pummeling.
Would there be any logic to dropping a division to Welterweight? I know 7lbs is a fair bit but the elite at todays' weight sees him always giving away height, reach or both 
Confused
Doubtless his brain scans will never be made public at least untill he's finished fighting.

To be fair I don't think trash talk comes naturally to Tszyu. I think to attract attention and get the big money fights they have to indulge in that rubbish.

I’m not really a boxing fan - except for the heavyweight fights of the 70’s, 80’s.

The best fighter I’ve seen in the lower weight scale was Barry McGuigan. Champion.

Tim has always had a weakness that he got away with against ordinary fighters, he has a blind spot on his right side and drops his right hand.

Criticism of him was that he took too many punches particularly from left hooks. That was on display yesterday with 3 of the 4 knockdowns from left hooks.

Arrogant’ Tszyu tactics called out

Two-time world champion Shawn Porter was critical of Tszyu’s tactics in the early stages of the fight.

”The thing for Tim, he can’t fall straight back,” Porter said in commentary on Main Event.

“He’s admiring in his work, which is not good. I don’t like Tim’s positioning. He’s standing too straight. He’s not going to be able to get out of the way of these punches.”

Speaking post-fight, Porter added: “The body language of Tim Tszyu was very arrogant. It was very, ‘I’m coming after you and there’s nothing you can do about it’.

“What happens when you’re like that is you’re standing upright. When your legs are bent, you can take the punches a little better.

“(When you’re standing straight), it’s all head, all chin, and you don’t really have anything that can stabilise you from those punches.

“Tim was falling straight back, and that’s a recipe for disaster for any fighter.

“I just thought he’d be agile tonight.”

I had no interest in the fight but looking at Bakhram Murtazaliev's record now it was crazy that he was the $4.50 outsider.  He should have been $1.50.Geek

Bakhram Murtazaliev broke his right hand in training 2 weeks ago. Sometimes things like that concentrate your mind, focus you upon the fundamentals? Anyway learning that it is no surprise that the left hand inflicted the knockdowns, and what PT said.
