Unbeaten IBF #7, WBO #12 light middleweight Tim Tszyu (15-0, 11 KOs) scored an impressive fourth round TKO over Jack Brubaker (16-3-2, 8 KOs) on Friday night at the ICC Exhibition Centre in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Tszyu connected hard and often against Brubaker who was very tough and never went down despite taking brutal punishment. Brubaker’s cornerman Jeff Fenech finally threw in the towel. Time was 1:31. Tszyu retained his WBO Global and IBF Australasian titles.
In a clash between heavyweight rugby stars, Darcy Lussick needed just 39 seconds to stop Justin Hodges.
Unbeaten WBO #14 cruiserweight David “The Great White” Light (15-0, 9 KOs) scored a third round KO over former world title challenger Trent Broadhurst (22-3, 14 KOs). Light dropped Broadhurst twice in round two with punches that connected on Broadhurst’s left ear. After two more knockdowns in round three, the bout was halted. Time was 2:36.
Super featherweight Bruno Tarimo (25-2-1, 5 KOs) scored a ten round unanimous decision over formerly world-rated Nathaniel “Cheeky” May (21-3, 12 KOs). Tarimo, a stablemate of the Moloney twins, brought relentless pressure to earn a 98-92, 97-93, 98-92 victory.
Great win for Tszyu!
His team is doing everything right for Tszyu’s development as a fighter.
TT is not just the son of a famous star anymore, but on his way to become an elite fighter in his own rights.
I am really looking forward to his next fights.
