Tim Tszyu (28-3-, 18 KOs) beat Errol Spence Jr. (28-22, 22 KOs) in Sydney last Saturday, as he took the moment after the fight to seek advice from the man he had just beaten.
Tszyu used his size and persistent pressure to take control, as he took a unanimous decision win: (117-111, 117-111, 118-110). Tszyu revealed he took the moment after the fight to seek advice from Spence. “Yeah, I spoke to him. He goes, ‘stay patient, when you’re not rushing in, you’re very dangerous. When you wait, you’re a very good counter puncher, and you’ve got very fast hands, very reactive.'”
The Australian confirmed he is staying at middleweight permanently after experiencing life without the punishing cut to 154 pounds. A world title fight is the next target, though Tszyu acknowledged the magnitude of what he has just achieved: “I understand why he’s one of the greats. I’d love to fight for a title. That’s what I’m aiming for.
