tszyu to take learnings from statement win

Boxing

When Tim Tszyu was knocked down in the opening round against Terrell Gausha, it looked like the Aussie's US debut was about to take an abrupt turn few saw coming.

Tszyu though, to his credit, stepped up in the face of adversity to dominate the majority of the fight. While it wasn't a knockout win, it was still a statement victory.

Post-fight Tszyu admitted there was plenty of room for improvement as he eyes a world title shot in the near future.

But he was also widely praised for just how dominant he was despite the early knockdown.

Hall of Fame Boxing analyst Al Bernstein applauded Tszyu’s performance against Gausha, praising his strength and fitness.

Tszyu did something no one has been able to do to Terrell — he dominated him. Tszyu is not perfect defensively but he overcomes with power, conditioning.

— Al Bernstein

Aussie boxing legend Jeff Fenech said Gausha did well to last the entire fight against Tszyu and take it to a judges’ decision.

My biggest surprise was his opponent was able to go the 12 rounds at that pace. It was crazy (he stayed on his feet).

— Jeff Fenech

After the fight Tszyu admitted there was “a lot more to learn”, despite the victory.

It was good that I faced adversity for the first time and I was able to come back. I dug deep. All respect to my opponent, who is one hell of a warrior and a true gentleman.

— Tim Tszyu
