Russian-Australian boxer Tim Tszyu suffered the second defeat of his career in Orlando, losing to Bahram Murtazaliev, who was trying to take the IBF junior middleweight title from him. The fight was broadcast by television “Sports Express”.
“As they say, Tszyu and Murtazaliev started the war without reconnaissance. Bakhram looked a little more active and was putting up strong streaks. Tim tried to respond in kind, but the Australian entered the fight a little slower, which is noticeable,” he says in the broadcast of the first round.
As a result, the fight ended with Murtazaliev winning by technical knockout in the third round.
The source noted that Murtazaliev won his 23rd victory with 17 knockouts in his 23rd fight. By winning the fight, the Russian won the IBF junior middleweight belt. “Sport Express” notes that other titles in this weight category belong to Terence Crawford (WBA) and Sebastian Fundora (WBO, WBC).
After his defeat, Tszyu noted that Murtazaliev was better prepared and the athlete “had no excuses”. socialbites.ca edited a text online broadcast war.
