Uh-oh. Looks like Tim Tszyu is being butchered up by Fundora.
Apparently its a blood-bath!!!
He got a cut on the hairline after running into an elbow, constant blood flow into his eyes.
He stayed the distance .... a mate had the fight on at home and said that Tszyu still would not have won the fight even if he wasn't cut.
The last bloke Tszyu fought & won a UD over, Brian Mendoza knocked Fundora out 39 secs into the 7th round last October & Tszyu has a rematch clause in the fight agreement ....
he has a chance to redeem himself.
First two rounds and he was looking like a win in 6 rounds - sweet as.
But come the 3rd and he just went lame or lost the plot and looked ineffective with anything he did.
Fundora on the other hand just put in his usual higher work-rate of way more punches thrown and it paid off. He pummelled his way out of it.
The stopped Joyce against Zhang because Joyce could no longer see 'effectively' to be safe enough to protect himself.
Same with Tszyu - he obviously couldn't see well enough and was lucky not to be KO'd 'easily'.
They'll let the 'rematch' happen, pending the original Thurman purse first.
They might turn this into a Jeff Harding v Denis Andries Trifecta Show? They're big money spinners!
...and that's what naive Tszyu and Australian Boxing management have to remember about Boxing in America. Professionalism only goes so far, if it doesn't compromise the big paydirts. Especially 'Las Vegas' - it will manipulate 'every' Tszyu fight for $$$ - not his career or belts.
If making Tim lose for more $$$$, they'll rig it right to happen.
