How do people rate Tim? I personally have seen him in action, just wondering if he has the goods to become a big name like Kostya?

He’s not that good

He looks quality from what ive seen, looks patient, has natural talent and looks like he has the ability to learn and improve, id say more than likely he wins a world title

i would rate him between what stoney and 'dick did. i do think he's pretty good, but in a fairly 'run of the mill' good way. kinda like that attractive blond that looks like all the other attractive blonds. not 'wow!' impressive or some guy i get really pumped up excited about, but defo a capable operator and one id rate above the likes of fowler, cheese, and those guys on the brit scene

he was supposed to fight for the wbo title before texeria - castano was mandated. i think he woulda beat texeira but lost to castano

Looks good. My guess is he will be a world champ at some point but not nessasarly the best in his weight though. Will know lots more by tonight.
-If he wins he is good,
-if he dominates he is true world class
-if he stops it early he is probably world champ level (over simplification)


Ps could he make welter? I actualy have no idea how big he is and in a pic of him sparring whiticker they looked almost similar (and whits 200lb...) buttt just Seems weird that he came in more than a pound under 154...

He looks good, but he hasn't faced anyone World class yet. Horn was overblown because of the Pac robbery. It'll be clear, how good Tszyu is, after he fights against the recent champs or Hurd, or Lara.

Show has just kicked off on Fox sports oz

A young looking Sakio Bika takes on Sam Soliman for a third time, these two meet once every 15 years.

what I have seen is very positive but to be fair ts not a lot and southern hemisphere isnt really at GB /US level

Which channel is it being shown on?

It’s now on the foxtel PPV channel, unbeaten Paul showtime Fleming just on now, taking on Tyson lantry who upset Luke Jackson last time out.

Hadn’t realised what a huge star Tszyu is in Oz, he’s the golden boy.

Hyped up well , but not fought anyone yet ,, TONIGHT should be a good test , I liken him to Connor Benn , no doubt gonna at least get a shot at a probably vey weak title , But been pushed along more because of Dads name rather than being a standout fighter ,,, Still just like Connor he can only do whats asked of him

He’s a lot better.

Yes hopefully gets a test tonight, about 10 people in his dressing room - Kostya the great looks so old...a long long career i guess ...hulk hogan looks very relaxed, he looks like David Prices younger brother.

Tim heading to the ring to another one bites the dust - big crowd no masks in sight anywhere, looks like a throwback

Hulk hogan is in the zone, You’ve got to be a tough guy going 12 with Jamie Munguia...no puncher it would seem, so relatively safe for the golden boy, in that he ain’t gonna spark him...

Terrible Tim looking ice cool throwing a deadly looking left hook there, but better be a tad careful early, the other guys winging huge lottery shots. The crowd just love Tszyu.

Russian trainer for Tim, talking Russian in the corner

One of those big overhand rights lands and cuts Tim over left eye.. yikes

Hurricane Hogan looks hard as nails still winging the big shots, clash of heads caused the cut, Tim’s face looks a bit of a mess let’s see how they deal with it in the corner, it’s nasty, on his eyelid

Zoo is looking good staying cool and very precise with his punches, slotting home some mean body shots that are definitely bothering the hurricane, keep landing those and he could stop him

The blood is running down Tims face but he is cool as a cucumber, breaking Hogan down, the body shots are hurting him big-time almost dropped him at end of round ...

Which round we in now?

Huge left uppercut to the chin drops Hogan

Round 5, The hurricane fighting back lands a big right hand to the chin
