IBF #6, WBO #9, WBC #12 light middleweight Tim Tszyu (15-0, 11 KOs) will clash with former WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn (20-2-1, 13 KOs) at the Bank Stadium in Townsville, Queensland on August 26.
“There’s a lot of things that separate Jeff, an average world champion professional boxer, from a world class contender,” Tszyu told AAP. “Becoming a world champion is one thing, but staying world champion is another thing…once I win a world title, I will stay a champion. I will show the two different classes we’re at right now.”
Lets hope he keeps his eyes on the prize – keeps the pedal to the medal – shoots for the stars – avoids the fake news – goes hard or goes home. Jeffery is going to introduce him to a new world – a world of pain… I predict pain. Some champions are made others are born – which one will it be – will this be the big payback for Jeff. I can hear cormac singing the blues for one of these iron men come wed week in the years biggest fight (post Covid)
Jeff Horn’s fame came from a gift decision against Pacquiao. He is hard to watch and doesn’t possess any world class skills, though he seems rugged and tough. If Tszyu has half the talent that his father had, it should be an easy win. I wonder if Tszyu will become the next Chavez Jr, or will he equal or surpass his dad?
Certainly one of the most outrageous decisions in boxing history.
Jeff Horn is the biggest joke in boxing to come out of the Land Down Under.The way he was humiliated and exposed by Terence Crawford as a FAKE speaks a lot about how this bloke.
Yes, I can honestly say Crawford made Horn look like a complete amateur swinging for air during their match up. Horn relied on his moving-in pressure style hoping to land anything with an opening. This one-dimensional style works in some circumstances, but often fails when one thing is observed; angles! Horn has not a clue what angles are when it comes to a “boxer” not a slugger.
Hahaha…every time Jeff speaks up I watch the Terence fight!
another salty filopino crying like a baby. what about what pac roid ripped of nedal hussein with a robbery in the philipines?
I hope little Tszyu KTFO Horn, so Horn can fade into the shade of boxing retirement.
A fight between two overrated fighters, being one of them badly exposed and now in clear decline (Horn). Tim in the other hand, a kid carefully matched, famous not because his talent or achievements, but rather because the illustrious name of his father (the great Kostya Tzsyu). Tim’s case is a lot similar to the Chavez Jr. case, with the only difference (big if you wil) that seems he is more disciplined, more dedicated, perhaps less spoiled with a more strict father. Tim can progress, maybe, as long he is keep safe at homeland.
Tszyu in 2!
Tim Tszyu will win via a massive KO .
Looking forward to tuning in like all the posters here. Pac slept on Horn and looks like “generation Troll” is asleep too. He went after crawford – big mistake – Jeff was too primitive for him. Timmy boy ain’t in the same league as an arguable no 1 P4P king.
Horns got balls – I hope he does it – good kid. Not some trash talking wannabe Gypsy Joker…
