Tim Tszyu fight with Keith Thurman was canceled but Sebastian Fundora ended up  the new challenger for the 154 titles 다운로드.  While Tszyu was already talking about an Errol Spence, Jr. fight, Fundora represents a significant challenge and may even been a tougher opponent than Thurman.  At 6’5”, he had the height advantage over Tsyzu which he used to his advantage in the fight 다운로드.

Tsyzu, who is the son of Hall of Fame fighter Kostya Tszyu, headlined his first big PPV card on U.S. soils on Prime Video.  Fundora, who was scheduled to fight Serhii Bohachuk, moved up to replace Thruman and for the rest of the story, Brian Mendoza replaced Fundora in fighting Bohachuk.  Bohachuk did in fact do what Tsyzu did, beat Mendoza in a decision.  (Mendoza did stop Fundora in their fight but has now lost two in a row to Bohachuk and Tsyzu.)  Bohachuk dominated the fight and the scorecard reflected that as he won 117-111, 117-111 and 118-110.  He dominated the fight, out landing Mendoza 319-168 punches over the twelve rounds, double the jab and double the power shots and more accurate overall 38 percent to 33 percent 윈도우 10 rs3 다운로드. Bohachuk is now looking to fighting the winner of Fundora-Tsyzu. 

I was not aware ErisLandy Lara was still fighting. Just joking but he is the oldest champion as he defended his WBA middleweight champion with an easy two round stoppage of Michael Zerafa 윈도우 10 스팀 다운로드.  He has now recorded three straight knockouts.

Now for the main event as Tszyu tried to find the range against Fundora who established his jab.   Tszyu used his right to the body but shots a right to the head failed to connect 제빵왕 김탁구 다운로드. Finally, he connected with a right to snap Fundora head back. The second round saw a double jab from Fundora as Tszyu jab landed in the body and he managed to land a right hand to the Fundora head.  Fundora bleeding from Tszyu shot and after two rounds, Tszyu up 20-18.

Tszyu gets nailed by an accidental elbow, and blood flowing from his scalps blinded him throughout the rest of the fight. Fundora lands shots as blood stream into Tszyu’s eye. Near the end of the round, both fighters trade shots at center ring and Tszyu lands a straight right.  The bloodbath continued for both fighters as Tszyu was still wiping blood from his eyes and Fundora took advantage as after four rounds he was tied on my score card, but he is also a bloody mess.

Tszyu landed right hand to the body but got nailed by hard left from Fundora.  Tszyu partially landed left hand while Fundora lands his shot as Tszyu partial vision is making it difficult to see punches.  He does land a decent left hand and buckled Fundora.  Tszyu starts the six with right hand to the body and these body shots are hard shots, but Fundora is landing stiff jabs.  Tszyu lands body shots with right and left while Fundora used his height and Tszyu blood.  At the halfway mark, Tszyu is up by 58-56 but these are close rounds.

Tszyu right hand lands but Fundora is landing jabs throughout the seventh and eight round as Tszyu blood  making if difficult to see.  The fight was even 76-76 after eight rounds on my card.\\

The ninth and tenth round saw a similar pattern as Fundora landed jabs and Tszyu landed power shots, but it was close fight as while I had a slight edge for Tszyu, 96-94. It was tough fight for the champion and could have been scored the opposite.

In the eleventh and twelfth round I gave the round to Fundora, and this fight had a pattern in which Fundora landed his jabs effectively while Tszyu landed body shots.  The judges gave a split decision 115-113, 116-112 for Fundora and 115-113 for Tszyu in an upset victory. 

These numbers show the results as Fundora landed more punches and threw more but Tszyu landed more power shots and was the more accurate puncher. Tszyu landed the harder shots and was more accurate but the cut on his scalp reduced his sight and this gave Fundora the advantage with his jab.  For every two plus jabs Fundora landed, Tszyu landed only one. 

This is a fight we can see again since it was close and the judges themselves were not unanimous in who they thought won and the scores tight.
