The most surprising thing is that Tszyu decided not to keep fighting, just moments after landing his heaviest shots.
The seventh round was wildly entertaining, with both men copping punishment. Tszyu connected with some huge blows, but I’m just so impressed with the chin of Fundora, geez he is tough.

Once again, Tszyu is at a crossroads. That’s three world title fights, three losses. It raises fresh questions about whether the Australian belongs in the ring with the elite.
I expected the “Soul Taker” to be more circumspect early given what has happened over the past year, but he again went too hard too early. In doing so, he proved very hittable.

And there are clearly some demons after that initial loss to Fundora and then the beat-down from Bakhram Murtazaliev.
