Tim Tszyu is really going to turn me- the most casual of casuals- into a full-blown boxing fan, isn't he.
Lovely stuff. #TszyuMorgan

Slow this down frame by frame. What Tim Tszyu did with the off speed, intentionally off target left to open up his opponents guard with the fast pitch right was superb #TszyuMorgan https://t.co/3CUjKC3oJw

A devastating round one knock out has given @Tim_Tszyu a chance to emulate his famous boxing hall of fame father Kostya. Tim could get a crack at a world title fight as early as April next year and it might be held here in Sydney. https://t.co/OF81oZFF1j #7NEWS pic.twitter.com/tfQFXGbm52
