Sam Goodman, Tszyu’s fellow Australian and No Limit fighter, as recently as on Saturday fought on a promotion overseen by Alalshikh in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and impressed in defeat by the WBA featherweight champion Nick Ball, but Rose told BoxingScene: “I’m not into kicking a man while they’re down. Tim Tszyu lost a world-title fight at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, on a Manny Pacquiao card [Pacquiao fought Mario Barrios]. Any fighter who got the opportunity to be on a card like that, let alone to lose a world-title fight on a card like that – that’s pretty high level stuff. I would not discredit a person for losing a fight like that.
