'Say my name': Tszyu blasts world champ over Kostya sledge (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Tim Tszyu promised to make a statement inside and outside the ring and he did just that with a challenge to world champion Jermell Charlo.

It was the flu, it was just getting worse and worse. “They want an easy fight where you can box and tip-tap, but that will never happen with me … I’m here and I’m coming for all of them. Asked if Charlo will know his name when they get into the ring together, Tszyu said: “Of course he will. The winner of that bout will hold all four belts, and now they are within reach for the “Soul Taker”. You are never going to have an easy fight with me, where you think you can come and out-jab me and move around. “I’m coming,” Tszyu said.

“It was all so quick,” Tszyu said of his early knockdown. “It was a simple flash knockdown. I see Tim Tszyu as a legit contender now, but he’s obviously still developing,” he tweeted. It may not cost him here but it’s something to watch the more he steps up in class.” “He’s Kostya Tszyu’s son, already a bankable star in Australia. You know how it goes. He will give ANY 154 pounder in the world a hard time.” He also showed he’s going to need to legitimately fight his way to a possible world title. I didn’t want the media finding out, and having excuses and s*** like that. “@Tim_Tszyu is going to be a hand full for ANY 154 pounder in the world. “He dominated virtually every round after the first two. I could see MAYBE one or two others at most even though I went for Tszyu in those rounds. Tszyu is not perfect defensively but he overcomes with power, conditioning.

Tim Tszyu Vs. Terrell Gausha: Odds, Records, Prediction (Updated ... (Forbes)

Tim Tszyu is making his U.S. debut vs. Terrell Gausha. Can he be a future champion?

I think Gausha is way too wide of an underdog, but I still think Tszyu will win by decision. Tszyu is a huge favorite at -1200 (bet $1,200 to win $100) while Gausha is a +700 underdog. Whether he can use that momentum against Tszyu is an unknown. “He’s going to be right on top of Gausha from the start. Gausha (22-2, 11 KOs) has a reputation of being a talented but rather unexciting boxer who doesn’t carry much power. There’s going to be no rest and nowhere for him to go.” He doesn’t do too many things spectacularly, but what he does do well, he does it very well, and that’s bring the pressure. “I’m quite interested to see what he’s going to bring. “This is going to be an interesting fight,” Tszyu said. Until now, Tszyu, the son of Hall of Famer Kostya Tszyu, has only fought in Australia. But all of that will change on Saturday night. It’s not just because he’s fighting perhaps the toughest fighter of his career in former U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha. It’s also because he’s making his American debut and headlining a Showtime card. Terrell Gausha, including the odds, their records and a prediction on who will win.

Tim Tszyu must heed warnings from US debut after big lesson ... (ABC News)

Tszyu said after the fight that he needed to work on "everything" before he steps foot in a ring again to realise his dream of becoming a world champion. Tszyu also said making the weight at 70kg was "a problem" this time around, not the first time he's said shredding for the weigh-in was becoming an issue. However, despite those issues, those body shots still came, buckling Gausha in the fourth and fifth and keeping the American honest right up until the final bell, as Tszyu showed a toughness that speaks of his fighting maturity. If that was the first lesson, the second should be that defence is a valuable attribute in boxing. It's not a huge surprise that Tszyu looked vulnerable for the first time in his career during his US debut. Tim Tszyu is still in that spot after his dramatic victory over the game but ultimately out-gunned Terrell Gausha, maintaining his momentum towards a world title shot as he moves to an unbeaten record of 21-0.
