Tim Tszyu was dropped four times on the way to a third round stoppage loss.
Following his shocking early stoppage loss over the weekend, Tim Tszyu issues a public statement via social media about this unexpected setback and explains that it’s not over for him, as he expects to be back in big fights soon.
“Look, it is what it is,” Tszyu said. “I got caught with a shot I just couldn’t move on. I kept getting up but that wasn’t good enough. Congrats to my opponent on a tremendous performance, but yeah, we move on, regroup, and my team will be back.
