Episode 743: Tim Tszyu Gets Knocked Out...

The Lukie Boxing Podcast

In this episode, we dive into Tim Tszyu's stunning third-round knockout loss to Bakhram Murtazaliev. Is Tszyu's championship journey coming to an end, or does he have one last comeback in him? We break down the fight, where Tszyu was dropped four times, and discuss whether his brutal war with Sebastian Fundora left lasting damage.
We also talk about Murtazaliev’s rise—who's next for him? A bout with Terence Crawford or Vergil Ortiz would be electric. Plus, check out our thoughts on the undercard, including Yoenis Tellez’s impressive stoppage and a wild middleweight opener that ended in a draw.
In this episode, we break down Yoenis Tellez’s impressive seventh-round stoppage of Johan Gonzalez. Tellez, trained by Ronnie Shields, showed patience before closing the show, calling out Xander Zayas afterward. Could he be ready for a title shot soon?
We also recap the action-packed opener between Endry Saavedra and Cesar Mateo Tapia, a wild brawl that ended in a draw despite Saavedra dropping Tapia three times. Plus, we touch on William Scull's win to claim the IBF super middleweight title and Omar Salcido’s dominant TKO of Chris Colbert.
