Jeff Horn vs. Tim Tszyu - August 26, 2020

[DrDuke]

A great body punching by Wilson.

[Ruthless-RKO]

There is STILL no decision on who walks out first for the main event

We are into the second last undercard fight and the Tszyu and Horn camps are still fighting over which fighter walks out first. Meanwhile, Liam Wilson just cruised to an easy stoppage win in two rounds against Jackson Woods. Hurt him to the body multiple times and that's another very easy night at the office for the kid from Kingaroy.

Tszyu. Just announced.

[DrDuke]

A great counter right and eventually another stoppage. A lot of action this night so far. The main event is up next.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Liam Wilson KO-2 Jackson Woods (2:42)

[Ruthless-RKO]

Hardman wins in the first round!

He dropped Weetch early then poured it on before Weetch's corner had seen enough and threw in the towel. Impressive stuff from Hardman but the last two undercards bouts have been big mismatches.

Dunno about cruised. He got pretty rocked early on. But good win for sure

[Ruthless-RKO]

That was some quick undercards

Isaac Hardman TKO-1 Jamie Weetch (2:20)

[Ruthless-RKO]

Worth the wait … more controversy ...



Australian boxing fans have been waiting for this for a long time, but they will have to wait a bit longer.

The ring announcer introduced Tim Tszyu almost 10 minutes ago … but there is still no sign of him. Tszyu continues to warm up in his changeroom long after he was scheduled to enter the ring.

More mind games? This just adds even more theatre to what has been a wonderful build up.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Tim Tszyu is, finally, in the house

The ring announcer is getting plenty of practice introducing Tim Tszyu. He’s now done it a second time and Tszyu is now belatedly making his way into the ring. He has walked into to his trademark tune of “Another one bites the dust”.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Quick overview of results

Unbeaten middleweight Issac Hardman (7-0, 6 KOs) blasted out formerly world-ranked Jamie Weetch (12-3, 5 KOs) in the first round. Time was 2:20. Weetch down twice.

Round 1 ...

And that's round one done. Jeff Horn made his intentions clear, charging headlong into the favourite. The referee even warned Horn about leading with his head. Tszyu made the most of Horn's carelessness, landing a couple of solid rights. This is Tszyu's round.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Bit of a scrappy fight

[skanksta]

looking like a long night for Jeff so far.
20-18 TT surely ?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Round 2 ...

This has been a scrappy round and the referee has vented.

"All I have seen from the pair of you is wrestling," the referee said.

When they actually get down to the business of boxing, Tszyu is dominating. Has landed the cleaner shots as Horn leads with his head.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Horn is a crap boxer and has just living off his Pac gifted win.. He had no clue against Bud and he has no clue here.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Horn down rd 3

[Ruthless-RKO]

Strange, it's a messy fight, lost's or wrestling, rabbit punching, but they're touching gloes at the end of rounds.

[skanksta]

Horn getting bullied and chucked around. He's going to the well just to stay in this fight and it's only R3.
30-26 and replays show one of the "slips" may have been a genuine KD.

[skanksta]

Jeff doesn't even look fit - which is one of his trump cards.

Sad to see.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Round 3 ...Down goes Horn!

Jeff Horn is in massive trouble here. Tim Tszyu has just dropped him with a massive left uppercut. Horn was able to get back to his feet and made it to the bell. But Tszyu is totally dominating.

"This will be the last round," Fenech said in commentary.

Horn is just hanging on here ...

[Ruthless-RKO]

Round 4 ...

Tszyu is in total control here. He's landed some very big right hands that have wobbled Horn. Showing incredible maturity for a man in just his 16th fight, Tszyu has controlled this from the outset. Horn has shown incredible courage to remain on his feet. I can't see this going the distance.

[Ruthless-RKO]

There's a reason Horn requests 10 round fights instead of 12 rounds..

[skanksta]

C'mon Jeff !

I'm quite heavily into TT by dec and I@m watching thru' my fingers

[Ruthless-RKO]

Round 5 ...

Jeff Horn is literally just hanging on here. Tszyu is hitting him almost at will. This has been a complete performance from Tszyu to date. He knows he has got Horn in all sorts of trouble, working the head and the body repeatedly.

Horn's corner are telling him: "You've got to go first."

Will take a massive turnaround for Horn to get out of this pickle
