Undisputed super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo showed zero interest in a fight with WBO mandatory challenger Tim Tszyu, even lobbing an f-bomb at an Aussie reporter who brought it up.
“Didn’t he get dropped? That motherf***er’s out. He got dropped. It’s different heat over here in America, baby. It’s different heat in America. How much Tim Too, whatever his f***in’ name is, how much they got? How much money they got? F*** you and Tim Kazoo, change the mic!”
Tszyu’s response?
“Me and Castano are completely different,” Tszyu told Fox Sports. “I’m ten times stronger and bigger than Castano. What is [Charlo] going to do when that happens? If someone stays at the same pace it’d be interesting to see how he copes with it. I’m planning to break his ribs. Just an accumulation of punishment and punches. He’s never fought a style like me. Nobody like me. I’m not soft, let’s say that.”
The Charlo’s are very classy and distinguished gentlemen as they have shown consistently
In all honesty I believe fundora deserves it more. Better resume, more exciting, and that freakish height is something else. If Tim wasn’t Kostya’s son this wouldn’t even be a discussion.
I like the sarcasm, the Charlos are ghetto trash but good boxers
This is nothing but marketable trash talk. Simply sign the contracts and let’s get it over with. Talk is cheap.
I would give Charlo the edge in a Tszyu fight since Tszyu stays flatter footed in his stance and tends to stay in front of his fighter making himself a stationery target. Charlo’s right hand over a period of 5 to 6 rounds would take a toll on Tszyu’s confidence and stamina. Charlo on a TKO.
I agree scoob , charlo is straight up a clutch guy in the biggest moments and TT hasn’t made a big enough case yet anyways. After seeing how well charlo fought this weekend I don’t see a straight up walk foreword guy taking him out , although fundoras height will give everyone a problem
Tszyu by KO inside of 9.
Tim wouldn’t last 10 with Charlo!! He should fight Fundora and see how that goes!!
If Tszyu fought and beat Carlos Ocampo and Troy Williamson (UK) back to back, he’d be at least the best guy Charlo could fight in 2023 in a WBO title fight. He’ll have to fight the top WBO contender within a year.
Lets see it
Here we go again with the “class” talk. Its fighting, man, go watch figure skating, if you can’t handle it. Lions roar, they don’t meow. Most trash talk ends with congratulators at the end of the fight, win or lose. Keep talking Jermell…Tim Kazoo ain’t ready for that work…lol! He should fight Castano next to see where he stands.
Tszyu wins this fight by late stoppage. Charlo is all bark and no bite.
Really
What happen last week brother. They don’t give you an undisputed title. You earn it. All
bark and not bite. Ask Brian Castano.
Charlo is a Terry Norris with a chin and more power!
Charlo may go to Australia to fight if the $ is right. Also, I think Tim Tszyu would go up to fight Demetrius Andrade, Tim Tszyu should tell Andrade, let the shoulder heal and give me a WBO 160 lbs title fight anyplace in America.
Love it.. i want to see this one. .sounds like a great competitive fight..
Spoken like a true knuckle dragging mongoloid. The Charlo brothers are absolute trash.
The Charlo’s are about 75-1. What does
that say about the fighters they have beaten.
Your hidden agenda is in the term mongoloid. Last week when Castano
crumbled from that Charlo left. How did you
feel?
Charlo’s response sounds like he’s afraid and trying to do the avoid dance.
and think about it ..IF Tszyu is so green , fight him NOW before he gets better like say Mayweather did to Canola?
Charlo is afraid of Tszyu like Mayweather was afraid of Manny.
Floyd was definitely afraid of losing against Manny. That is why he waited 5 years and only fought him after pac lost to Bradley and was then KO’d by Marquez.
Steve, the more trash tossed, the higher the payday. He’s hoping for a bigger price! Maybe, he’ll even let it marinate a little.
This is for everyone that seems to hate the Charlo brothers: it’s alright to dislike the rhetoric, but to the deny the talent is just plain silly. And to suggest that either are afraid is ludicrous! You don’t get to this level by doubting yourself. Jermell’s resume is legit and thinking Tim Tszyu is scaring him…LOL!!! Without the last name, Tim wouldn’t be top 10 yet. Who’s he beaten that makes you think Jermell won’t handle him?
I like the Charlo’s. But if you are truly confident you can beat someone and really want to disrespect a fighter, the best way is to let ‘em know that’s easy work, then go do it.
Also, for anyone that thinks castano is anything special, he’s just a tough volume punching small guy. Charlo had the height and reach advantage as well as the better skills. Honestly he Should have never needed a second fight. But the fact castano pushed him for 22 rds leads me to believe any pressure fighter will cause him troubles, especially one with power. I also recall what tzsyu dad did to Zab so nothing is impossible.
Tim came to the states and got put down by a lesser guy than Charlo. His mouth is running but his handler will save him soon. They’re not ready to end the hype train before it starts.
So nobody in the history of boxing has ever been dropped by somebody that shouldn’t have dropped them? Mate Tim got up and bashed the bloke for the next 11 rounds, why don’t you bring that up? Charlo is not invincible, Tony Harrison proved that. Tim is better than Tony.
exactly and Charlo was losing again to Harrison before he stuck his chin out for Charlo to tee off on. harrison was very close to beating Charlo better than he had the first time. Tim fights like Kostya. Nuff said.
Harrison didn’t really beat him the first time-Charlo on an off night shoulo have still got the decision.
Hate to say this Tim but I don’t think you are ready yet, you really haven’t fought anyone near this fellows calibre, and maybe a contest with Castano might actually see where you’re at in the “elite” level.
Tim ain’t beating charlo
Tim definitely not ready…Fundora not ready for Charlo but will give a better fight than Tim…Fundora a volume puncher with power.his style will present Charlo with problems.cause Charlo pauses and keep his head on that line…Castano kept hitting Charlo with that lead right hand…Fundora.likes to fight on the inside unusual for a tall guy…throws a sneaky uppercut on the inside….disguised by his height….needs to perfect, tweak that style ..cause Fundora.draws back for power …leaves him, Fundora open for counters…Tim and Fundora should fight….Charlo is a good fighter …his strength is his focus…Will be hard to beat…if he learns from his mistakes..
Tszyu has nothing on his record and last performance that indicate he has a chance to beat Jermell Charlo, who could be too complicated for him. Honestly, I would love to see Tszyu facing Bakhram Murtazaliev to see if he is for real or just a hype job cleverly matched
Not so fast for young Tszyu. How about Tszyu vs.:
1) Smith; and
2) Harrison.
If Tszyu wins, put him in there against Fundora or Charlo. Let’s not forget about Conwell lurking in the boxing bushes because Conwell may enter the picture by late 2023.
Actually, either of those guys would be perfect for Tim next. Especially Harrison. I don’t think beefy has the pop to keep Tim off of him for 12 rounds. However, either would be a step up and Harrison could either break Tim or be his coming out party. Plus, Tony has a win over an unmotivated Charlo. I like Tim and want to see him do well, but it is too soon to challenge Charlo.
This fight is brewing and Charlo needs to understand that even a Tszyu fight in America is the biggest payday for him outside of a Crawford fight. And that ain’t nowhere near close to happening. A Fundora fight is domestic only, since the Chicano is American. Tszyu brings those Aussie eyeballs from terrestrial TV that Fundora wouldn’t. Charlo may be acting like there’s no interest, but I’m sure Haymon has different ideas. If he really wanted to cash in he would fly down under where the gate there would be massive, but I understand why he wouldn’t. However, even Charlo/Tszyu here in his biggest payday outside of Crawford and him.
Tszyu has character the dumbfook Charlo will never have. Both Charlo kids are punks. Neither one has beaten anyone and if dumbdumb had any skills or guts, NOW would be the time to beat up Tim. He cannot do that because he is fake. I cannot stant either Charlo as a human . Both are athletic. In shape. Flawed and stupid? Yes. Tszyu will walk him down. It is the Tszyu style. He fights like his dad and that is good enough for me. What did Charlo’s dad do? Nuff said.
Why all the hatred. You don’t even know the young men. They are both champions and
fine young men. Boxers are not altar boys.
It seems to me that Fundora and Tszyu would benefit from another fight or two before steeping up to meet Charlo, however both would be entertaining fights. I think Tsyzu has the best chance of beating Charlo. Tszyu vs Fundora would also be a great fight, and an excellent way of deciding who deserves a shot at the title.
Of course Tszyu gets pushed right to the top of the list. Tszyu has a long way to go.
fundora has the height and if he uses it and punches with charlo he could get the decisio n dont know about tszyu he might need another fight before he takes on charlo
Feud? I don’t see any feud. Just some reporter relaying what Tim said, and suddenly the media is all over it.
Well it’s because charlo cussed away.
Such mature comments from Charlo!!!! Tszyu is not quite ready for Charlo. Give him fights against Hurd and/or Lara first to toughen him up.
Charlo is the undisputed champ, meaning he wants those large paydays (he deserves them). He clearly stated “how much money he’s got” meaning a fight in Australia would draw huge money, but doubt that Charlo will be willing to travel, him being the champion. The most logical fight would be Fundora vs Tzyu, winner gets Charlo and mean while Charlo chooses a interim opponent or maybe taste the waters at 160 while keeping his titles at 154 until a suitable and proffitable opponent appears.
oh please please i pray they fight and tyszu emulates his dads ko of judah and charlo does the chicken dance.
Charlo v Tszyu Jnr will be Judah v Tszyu Snr replay hehehe
