WBO #1, WBC #1 super welterweight Tim Tszyu (21-0, 15 KOs) says WBO#4 super welterweight Tony Harrison (29-3-1, 21KO’s) will be in dire straits if their bout for the WBO interim title goes past round four on Sunday, March 12 (Saturday, March 11 in the USA) at the Quos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia televised on Foxtel Main Event and Kayo Sports PPV and Showtime in the U.S.
“If it goes past four he’s going to be in trouble,” Tsyzu told Fox Sports. “My aim is to grab him by the neck and pull him down into the ocean and just let him sink – drown him. It will start from round one and we’ll see when he gets some air. He’s going to want to tap, he’s going to wish it was UFC.
“He’s tall but my sparring partners are much taller. He looks fragile. You can just see it, I’ve been sparring big, strong unbreakable blokes and he looks like I could crack him in half.”
Typical trash talk to ride on the confidence train with marketability. Let’s skip the BS and get on with the fight.
jake paul and little furry says this ‘BS’ ain’t ever going away…….
Although in fairness to Tszyu he isn’t really getting that carried away. It is the hurt game, you can be confident.
Thank you for the reply.
I don’t care at all who wins this fight, but I’m looking forward to seeing it and I think it’s cool that Tszyu didn’t just decide to up and wait who knows how long for Charlo to get healthy and reschedule.
Both Williams and Tszu want to fight the best fighters.
Respect for Tszyu taking this fight. He didn’t need to. Looking forward to this.
Tszyu losing by points in the later rounds! He is in trouble!
Prime Harrison would have a decent chance but he is past his best.
I can name 10 fighters who were bigger and stronger than Pernell..
while Harrison is no Pete, he will outbox and befuddle Tszyu..maybe for 12..
Which means nothing when fighting Tszyu in at the Quos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia
Must be the current state of the sport lol. At first, I read that as “Tszyu-Harrison is in trouble”.
LOL! No,the fight is on. I understand your nervousness, is so frustrating and too frequently, being the last one Serrano vs Taylor ( Serrano got injured).
Wish this fight was against Charlo. Was really looking forward to Tszyu beating him.
Get off Charlo already.
He is not on the card.
Tszyu was not going to beat Charlo.
Tszyu needed this Harrison fight first.
Tszyu is no better than Castano at this point and I doubt Castano will be the same after the Charlo fights.
??? Castano was good enough to be champ and drew with Charlo.
ok, lets see it
I think Tszu is ready for whatever Harrison brings. I think he’ll actually handle him quite easily.
If the Harrison that fought Charlo shows up Tszyu could be in for a difficult night. Fighting at home he should win a decision. Harrison will almost have to win by ko or at least several knockdowns to win in Australia.
i agree harrison will not get decision this fight is on tszyu home grounds harrison needs knockdowns to win this
Can’t wait to see this, and I hope he crushes Charlo after.
I think it’s Timmy boy who is in trouble, he is used to being the taller fighter. Didn’t realise Harrison is taller. What is it with all the shit talking now, Tszyu just keeps going and going. I know it’s to sell fights, but prefer a humble fighter any day
I’ve gone back and forth on this one at first thinking Harrison would get the decision and derail the unified title opportunity.
I still think Harrison will look good early and be ahead after 6 rds. But tszyu will keep bringing the pressure and get the decision in Australia. A late stoppage is a possibility as well.
Tim,unless you’ve added head movement and he’s not as good a boxer as people say he is ,you might be in for a rude awakening.
I envisage him jabbing and moving,some call it ” running away” but I call it clever boxing ,and piling on the points . Your brutal body attack and head shots speak for themselves.
Too close to call in my opinion.
