WBO #1, WBC #1 super welterweight Tim Tszyu (21-0, 15 KOs) says “everything has been on point” as he prepares for this weekend’s WBO interim title clash against Tony Harrison (29-3-1, 21KO’s) at the Quos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. The bout is televised on Foxtel Main Event and Kayo Sports PPV in Australia and Showtime in the USA.
“I went and researched a little bit about Cristiano Ronaldo,” Tszyu told the Wide World of Sport. “I know he’s not a boxer but the way he approaches life is the way I am approaching life right now – as a true, 100% athlete dedicated to his craft. Everything. Just the way I eat, when I eat, just true professionalism.
“I know when I was growing up my dad was an army sergeant with the way he approached life and I’m 2x to how he was…right now I feel like I could run over anyone and it’s a good position and feeling to have, especially leading up to such a big fight.”
Wow. Taking shit talking to the next level now
Just expressing his state mental and physical health,it’s not garbage talk like some of the shit that’s seems to be the American speciality
“…it’s not garbage talk like some of the shit that’s seems to be the American speciality”.
– Yeah right, it’s only an American specialty.
– No Brits, no one but Americans talks trash…..
he is nothing more than a glorified club fighter. Harrison will take him out.
totally agree. watching Tim fumble around with fist fighting is humorous. Boxing is not play time. Harrison easy.
Tim does like to talk. I remember him, not too long ago, saying he was looking to fight Anthony Joshua.
this dedication, devotion.. this is a man of conviction. Don’t make the mistake thinking its cocky bravado.. its not.. its confidence with clarity.. and I believe him..
That’s the impression i got from reading the article.
boxing is replete with hubris. Chavez thought he was going to crush Pernell. This guy ain’t no Chavez while Harrison is no Whitaker, he is way more Pernell than Tszyu is a Julio.
for me Harrison is a Zab Judah.. it will happen same.. but its interesting to see how it goes..
for me Tszyu is a Michael Katsidis.. it will happen the same
What can I say but I can’t wait to see it. I hope this kid can really do it.
This fight might be difficult for both, although Harrison should have the benefits on his side. Should have.
Harrison has a clear advantage in length and range. Tszyu has previously been up against fighters in about his own length. This will be a new and difficult experience.
Harrisons success speaks for himself. I like him. He is more technical, faster, moves nicely, has ring-IQ and most of it speaks for him
But Tszyu has surprised before. It’s hard not to like him and maybe a little too easy to underestimate his qualities.
The longer this fight goes, the tougher it will be for Harrison. Tszyu will not stop moving forward, he will go right through Harrisons punches and if Tszyu succeeds in this, we will have a highly interesting fight.
Looking forward to this one.
Even if I disagree with you Zocker (and I don’t in this case), you always have really good breakdowns.
His confidence comes from hard work and his dedication. This is good- it will make for a great fight.
Tszyu doesn’t move his head enough for a sharp boxer like Harrison. Tszyu always has a punchers chance. As of now, he’s David Lemieux 2.0.
Which is very fun for Boxing.
Your mouth just wrote a check now your hands needs to cash it.
I really hope Tszyu wins this, alot of guys knocking him on here will be hearing all about it haha
