Tszyu established his jab from the opening bell, systematically dismantling Nurja\u2019s high-guard. By the third round, the Albanian was struggling to find the pocket as Tszyu landed sharp, short combinations. The momentum shifted heavily in the fourth round when Tszyu landed a flush right hand that sent Nurja to the canvas. <\/p>\n<p>While the crowd sensed a finish, Tszyu remained notably patient, refusing to over-commit. In the seventh round, the referee deducted a point from Nurja for excessive holding as he desperately tried to slow Tszyu\u2019s forward pressure. For the remainder of the \u201cchampionship\u201d rounds, Tszyu focused on a body assault that sapped Nurja\u2019s remaining energy: 100\u201388, 100\u201388 and 100\u201388. In his post-fight comments, Tszyu turned his attention towards Spence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tszyu Reacts<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know what they say: Catch the big fish,\u201d he said. \u201cLet\u2019s go fishing. Look, I feel like I\u2019m up for it, man. I feel like I\u2019m up for it. This guy was tough, you know, no excuses. But I think me and Errol Spence is gonna be one helluva fight. You know, it\u2019s a banger. You know how I am \u2013 I don\u2019t take a backwards step. So if he wants to meet me at the front, bring it on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, he\u2019s tough, man. I expected that, you know \u2013 20-0. But no joke. I think I had him a couple times, but \u2013 I don\u2019t know \u2013 he just didn\u2019t drop. But, yeah, those were good rounds, bro. That one wasn\u2019t actually \u2013 I was trying to take him out. I\u2019ll be honest with you. They\u2019re tough out of Europe. Hey, Albania \u2013 I didn\u2019t expect that, man.
