Boxing Hall of Famer Jeff Fenech was at ringside to see WBO #1 light middleweight Tim Tszyu defeat former world title challenger Terrell Gausha on Saturday night at The Armory in Minneapolis.
“The performance was great,” said Fenech. “But there were so many different things that I’ve seen that he can fix. He wasn’t slipping to the side, making the jab miss and coming over with the right hand. He was trying to go straight through it. He was leading with the left hook, which left him open for the straight right hand. And the biggest thing was those pitty-pat punches, where he was trying to set one big one up – instead of just getting to the side and working the body, and then coming up.”
Tell us what we already know/have seen. The kid needs more time to craft his skills otherwise he gets eaten up by better fighters.
“The performance was great,”
– “Great” is one of the most over-used terms in sports.
Fenech truly understand boxing Australia greatest ever fighter thats all folks
Based on Tim’s offense, it was a solid performance. I need to take a closer look at his defense by seeing him fight a few opponents with creative offensive tactics, quick-fast hands and slicker defenses. If Tim looks good/wins against such opponents, perhaps they can later match him with a couple of pressure/physical fighters. If Tim looks good/wins against the pressure/physical fighters, then let him get his shot a belt.
yeah Tim did well & he won .. very flat though & not creating angles ..
That’s what I thought too, Castano and Charlo would hurt the kid if they fight anytime soon.
