Australian superstar Tim Tszyu remains undefeated and claims the vacant Interim WBO 154-pound title following a dominant performance and ninth-round TKO win over former world champion Tony “Superbad” Harrison.
Popular undefeated hometown favorite Tim Tszyu dominated former world champion Tony Harrison with a ninth-round TKO to win the Interim WBO Super Welterweight title Sunday in a SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL main event live on SHOWTIME® before 11,740 rabid pro-Tszyu fans at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.
With the win Tszyu became the mandatory challenger to undisputed super welterweight king Jermell Charlo. At the time of the stoppage, all three judges were in agreement scoring the bout 77-75 in favor of Tszyu after eight completed rounds.
When asked after the fight what the win means, Tsyzu yelled into the mic, “It means I’ve beat the man who beat the man!”
Tszyu was then asked if he had a message for Charlo: “The message was sent clearly. You know what’s next, you know I’m coming.”
The undisputed king of the 154-pound division, Charlo joined the SHOWTIME announce team live from the CBS Studios in New York City as a special guest.
“He’s going to be a tough fight because he’s coming forward,” Charlo said following the telecast. “But I think he’s perfect for my style. He fits suitably well for me. I know he can’t take my punch because I know my punch is different. I think he’s going to do the same thing (when he fights me). He’s not going to change up much. Seeing him tonight just made me want to fight and be back in there, to get this over with, to just shut him up. I’ve shut up a lot of fighters. He’s just another one.”
Tszyu (22-0, 16 KOs) – who elected to face the veteran Harrison after Tszyu’s scheduled match with Charlo on January 28 was scratched when Charlo broke his hand in training – simply outboxed and out-performed Detroit’s Harrison (29-4-1, 21 KOs).
“The better man won,” Harrison said. “They’ve done a good job over there. His timing, his reaction is very good. He just beat me, so all I can say is he’s up for Charlo.”
Harrison started quickly, but soon felt Tszyu’s power as Harrison was rocked by an overhand right late in the third round that staggered Harrison, a sequence that was repeated again at the end of the fourth round.
Harrison hit back in the sixth, landing more shots than Tszyu and displaying his defense as Tszyu missed on several swings. It was more of the same in the eighth as Tszyu continued his relentless pressure and started out-landing Harrison. Harrison had had enough in the ninth, finally hitting the canvas but beating the 10-count to continue the battle until the referee ended matters.
The 28-year-old Tszyu, who made his SHOWTIME debut in March 2022 with a win over Terrell Gausha, is the son of International Boxing Hall of Famer Kostya Tszyu, who competed on SHOWTIME 10 times and had some of his most memorable fights on the network. Kostya Tszyu was unable to attend the Sunday fights because his daughter and Tim’s half-sister has been ill.
“We will always have respect for each other, but tonight I proved I was the better fighter,” Tszyu said of Harrison. “The way my career has unfolded has been step by step, all the way to the top. That’s my mentality as a fighter. When I’m presented an opportunity like Charlo, of course I’m going to take that. And when I get an opportunity to face Tony Harrison, of course I’m going to take it.”
Harrison said he wasn’t sure what the future would hold. “The boxing [stuff] is hard. I’ve been doing this since I was five. I don’t know if I want to spend the next five, six years getting hit in the face. My brother [trainer LJ Harrison] had the perfect game plan, but sometimes when you get in there you forget.”

525th fight ready let’s go Tim Zoo Tony Harrison this one is high risk High reward this is round one and it’s Harrison in the red trunk zoo in the blue and Harrison popping the jab which is one of his Staples yeah that’s what you want to get
On right away of your Harrison that jab throw that jab put that jab in his face Upstairs Downstairs don’t let Tim Sue think Zoo typically pressure fighter likes to come forward Harrison said he wants to keep this fight at range and more than anything he said stay off the [Applause]
Ropes to apply the pressure keeping his guard High try to block that jab and continues to stab Zoo to the stomach with the jab going up and down with the stick I’m liking all be jab it here all beat yeah really sharp jab by by Harrison in this first round really
Winning the round just with the [Applause] jab Zoo misses with the left 90 seconds here in round one but here comes Sue this is what what he’s going to do with the enti fight pressure corner Harrison put him on the corner put him on the
Ropes still have over a minute to go in this round but Zoo giv the round the way by inactivity and this works right into what Harrison told us he feels like he should be able to bank at least the first six rounds with his jab Zoo throws a three punch Combination yeah and again you want to entertain uh Sue with that jab and perhaps get that right hand in early on like youra did and Cat Su right in the chin walking in there’s the jab again splits the guard of zoo now Zoo now a double [Applause]
Jab good chb pops the head back of Tim Zoo and here I am thinking where’s that right hand but again you want to keep Sue guessing when when that right hand is coming so you don’t want to throw it too often final seconds here of round one is Zoo [Applause]
Connects put around Tony Harrison dominated with just the jab LJ Harrison the older brother of Tony Harrison his trainer see in round one all all T all Tony going to do is just continue to JB so now uh uh Tim just got to start picking up his pressure and start picking up more
Punches so uh it’ll get more active right [Applause] now and again Harris and trying to keep him at range Tony as well got a sneaky right hand so I’m just waiting on him to throw it Harrison likes to take a step back and throw that counter right [Applause]
You know Sue has a really good uppercut when he gets in the inside again still early second round he’s trying to find his way in but definitely Harrison making it difficult with that jab it was a left hook Harrison blocked it though with the right hand Harrison not using a lot of
Lateral movement because he doesn’t need to yeah you’re right not in this round Sue is not pressing enough he’s he’s keeping a little Gap just enough for Harrison to feel comfortable in that distance Jam have you seen anything different out of Tony Harrison that you haven’t seen in those two fights that
You and you fought in well well I know I usually see Tony moving his legs and uh you know moving around the ring but you know as I see this is a smaller ring so I mean he he’s he’s doing good by not moving so much but he do need to start
Picking it up so so he can land that right hand that he throws there’s a right hand that’s landed by [Applause] Zoo here’s that right hand by Harrison but that was that there was that uppercut too from from Sue he’s got a sneaky one got one of his favorite punches adner yeah so maybe perhaps you know Harrison doesn’t want to commit with that right hand because he knows that upper gut is coming also
Smart fight talented Fighters I mean IQ is there for sure he need to make sure that uh zo stays off balance and right now he’s not doing that so he’s getting caught with different punches and that that uppercut right uppercut by zoo and you see Harrison holding for the
First time he’s generally not a fighter who does a lot of holding but he doesn’t want to be on the inside with zoo and by not being on the inside he’s not very vulnerable to body punches there haven’t been any body punches from Zoo yet as we
Take a look at Power punches here from show stats yeah Harrison’s effective punches have been jabed so you don’t see them listed on the the power punches Here Comes sue the volume is there now putting two three punches together jab left hook by Zoo a lot better round in round two for Tim
Zoo Here’s the final seconds of round two and Harrison throws a three- punch combination [Applause] see in round two right there uh Tony needed to to to least move more that lateral movement was his problem well you said you said that you see thought Tim Zoo would pick up the
Pressure and it seemed like he did picked up the pace at least in round two this is round three scheduled for 12 yeah and Jamal has a good point there because Harrison is pulling straight back he’s not using the lateral movement you know making it more difficult for
Zoo you know to get in you know and there he goes two steps back this ring is really small and where did you find yourself back in the ropes right like Derek James say step over step over here’s a right over the top by Zoo an Ton’s jab starting to mark his face
[Applause] up there’s a double right hand by Tim Zoo you look at the Jabs that’s what Tony Harrison his staple 36% of his Jabs Landing that’s a very high percentage it’s been Harrison’s jab against zo’s right Hand and you know how how you take that jab away is by throwing your own jab Sue having a little bit more you know success with his own jab and even better following it up with the right hand and and in the three-piece Tony again pop Zu back with the [Applause]
Jabz a double jab by Harrison nice again keep doing that but jab to the body also well in terms of ring geography there’s no doubt this fight is being fought at the exact distance Harrison wants if he’s effective enough to win the rounds that’s the second question and he’s doing what you said
That he wanted to keep the fight in the center of the Ring we’re seeing a lot more in this round yeah there’s a right hand that one Rock Harrison back to the ropes under a minute left here in round three biggest punch of the fight so far comes from Tim
Zooo we were asking for a right hand from Harrison and Su is the one that landed at that powerful right hand Tim Zoo very poised there he’s in no [Applause] rush it’s a good chance for him to go to the body he’s not really taking it yeah and he’s a great body snatcher
Tinu that left upper just missed here’s the other right again a right hand by zoo and another right hand and a left hook big round for Tim Zoo you heard LJ his trainer say look you’ve been too defensive you’re waiting talk to us Jamal and see and round three
Right there Tony just not moving his legs again not stepping over just observing just taking the punch just taking um the power shots from him but maybe maybe he took his best shot let’s see double jab right hand to the body by Harrison to start round
Four yeah this is where you pick it up from the veteran Harrison yeah you want to jab jab keep him busy but you know again let let go that right hand be more offensive and you know you can’t help but Wonder being that Harrison got caught with a
Right hand will he jab less worrying about getting countered that’s a good Point Zoo missed with that right hand minute gone here in round four every time Tony Jabs his jab goes down he’s not bringing it back to his face so that’s causing him to to get hit with that uh counter right hand [Applause] you know watching Tim Zoo you just get
The impression that this is a fighter whose game plan is to fight the same speed and intensity in rounds 10 11 and 12 that he’s fighting in rounds 1 2 3 and four very poised very in control who’s in confidence we look at our show stats the total power
Punches yeah a high percentage for Harrison but very low output only six power punches landed in almost four completed rounds it’s not going to get it done it is a really good round man really close both having their moments there that’s where you want to be if
You’re Harrison jab jab right hand step back and then come back and move exactly under a minute here’s Zoo now missed with that right hand now Harrison is moving he seems more comfortable and more [Applause] confident Here’s the final 30 seconds of round four and you see Harrison moving slowly
Along the ropes but zoo in no rush to uh take it AG of that situation none whatsoever right it almost seems like he’s just waiting for the right time to lay go of his overhand [Applause] right Miss with the left [Applause] hook Tony Harrison ranked number four Tim Zoo number one Contender the winner gets the Undisputed champ Jal Charlo this is round five see in the last round I saw Tim throw more Jabs Tim landed more Jabs Tony’s starting to move now he’s starting to become more I don’t
Want to get hit with the the hard shot so now it’s time um they’re going to take it up now against the ropes there’s the right hand that lands for Tim Zoo so Tim Su you know you studied this oh you know Harrison really well and
This is the rounds where he’s going to press a lot more the body shot the left left hook to the body by Zeus counter right hand by Harrison yeah even more to the body knowing that her Harrison could start fading Su trying to keep Harrison on the ropes there’s the right
Uppercut and it’s really the first time in the fight guys where Tony Harrison has had an extended session along the ropes that one with a little low and again you see Zoo applying the pressure yeah if you’re harison you don’t want to fight Su total to there’s
The right hand backs him to the [Applause] corner definitely not going to win that fight against a younger fighter Harrison jab to the stomach coming up coming [Applause] up Harrison seems content to fight off the ropes there’s a right to the body by zoo and that’s what Harrison needs to do
Too counter punch I haven’t seen the counter punching much from from Harrison this is a dangerous time for Tony Harrison because generally against against the better opponents he’s face he’s been either ahead or very close on the cards at this point in a fight I think he’s fallen behind here and this
Is a tough spot for him given how important this fight is to his career and considering he’s fighting in Tim Zoo Tim Zoo’s Homeland a of Australia Here’s a good one two and in a left hook to the body by Zoo har still effective with the jab but that’s all there hav hasn’t been enough power behind the jab he needs to land that right hand way terap did in round one against Su there’s a right by Harrison that [Applause] Scores 11,000 740 in Kudos Bank Arena Tony Harrison Tim Zoo the winner fights the Undisputed King of the division Jal Charlo oh there’s a left hook they both kind of hooked each other right there but look how Sue doesn’t doesn’t commit just yet he’s waiting for the right [Applause] time you know I know you look at what you’ve seen out of Tim zoo is this what you were expecting when you were
Training for him or anything different correct I see that uh a lot of stuff that we was uh preparing for and um just coming forward a lot of pressure pick it up later in the rounds he don’t really just get off too fast and uh throw a
Bunch of power shots and and and um you know the same thing we’re seeing right now no no Jabs there’s the jab and Then followed with the right hand double jab by Harrison as he works his way off the ropes I know where at the half roughly
The halfway mark of this fight but it’s not too early I don’t think to realize that the fact that this is a schedule 12 as opposed to a schedule of 10 rounders is a big Advantage for Tim Zoo he’s so poised he looks like he could box 20 rounds definitely is you’re
Right Steve and now he’s maintaining this fight you know little by little pois not throwing too much just right and really just the pressure that he’s putting right now is iring Harrison mentally and physically here’s a double jab by Harrison he tries to give Zeus some movement that’s when Harrison is at his
Best right here as he moving around the ring and and and pop shot making him eat Jabs here’s that jab avoids the right hand got to put his hands back up kn here’s a left hook to the body by Tim zooo overh hand right and he’s got Harrison against the
Ropes when Harrison lands in combination Zoo just seems to do a little bit more every [Applause] time Here’s the final seconds of round six [Applause] and Harrison finishes it with a double jab you want to continue to do that make Tim Sue Miss just like he did right
There we’ve come to the halfway point of this fight Tony Harrison Tim Zoo the winner gets to fight for the Undisputed [Applause] title Brian kuster Steve farhood Abner Mars and Jamal Charlo here with you as these two fight it out in Australia since we’re at the halfway point let’s see what our unofficial
Score Steve farhood how you had this fight scored thus far well C I gave Tony Harris in the first round that given him no rounds since maybe a couple were close and arguable but for the most part I think it’s been dominated by Tim zoo I
55 5955 at the halfway mark Abner you heard LJ his brother talk to him in the corner what what can Tony Harrison do does he have enough power to keep Tim zooo off of it I don’t know about that right now with the power but he does
Have enough Arsenal as far as volume he’s got good punches where he can keep him at Bay with that jab right hand and move get out of the way but another thing that Jal pointed out when the fight started is the ring I think the
Ring is a little small man and you know every time Harrison takes two steps back he finds himself on the ropes already but now it’s when he going to have to uh dig deep and off the ropes and try to keep keep Tim in the middle of the ring
And um and keep him on his front foot just keep him like moving you know like like like like you’re doing now stepping on the side stepping keep stepping let’s take a look at our show stats and power punches how about this round by round Steve farhood yeah and
That’s exactly why Tim zoo is winning this fight fairly handily on my card he’s Landing the bigger shots and Harrison very very low output in power shots and as far as the size of the Ring guys Tim zoo is fighting at home and the smaller ring favorites him with a shock of [Laughter]
[Applause] course even when there’s not a lot of volume from Harrison you want to keep doing that make make sue Miz like he’s doing right there but come back with your own punch there you go couple of Jabs by Harrison trying to keep Zu off of him keep him entertained with that jab
There’s the right hand jab and again zoo with the hook zo is also vulnerable for the uppercut when he leans forward the uppercuts there for Harrison here’s this right hand by Tony Harrison and Jabs to the body of Tim Zoo oh my God Tim Zoo has talked about this is a
Legacy fight for me I want big fights and adner talk to me about what this does for Tim Zoo here you are now in round eight and appears to be well in command of this fight from an experience standpoint what does this do for Tim Zoo considering he wants to fight this guy
Who is’s with us tonight the Undisputed King getting a lot of experience tonight against Tony Harrison and pretty much rocked him too with that straight right hand beautiful right hand from uppercut I mean pretty much you know giv him a little bit of his own medicine because
Harrison came in here saying hey you never fought anyone like me you never fought anyone period and here we go here we see Tim Su just you know putting the pressure and putting the works into Harrison but definitely does a lot mentally and you know physically if he
Gets his win tonight let’s take a look at what these guys have done past the seventh round Harrison 73 and one he’s got one knockout Tim Zoo unbeaten 6 and0 with a knockout as well and what’s interesting about Harrison’s three losses and all three of those
Losses at the time of the stoppage he was either ahead or even on at least one of the cards so he indeed has faded late here’s a left hook to the body by Tim Zoo follows up with a right hand but there’s Harrison with an uppercut yeah you’re right about that
Sten the three losses that Harrison has you know uh he was you know he was closing those scorecards he was doing his work but it is in this fight has been Tim Sue pretty much all fight now against the ropes Harrison trying to fight his way off sleepy uppercut overhand right Zoo
Comes back with a right of his own and then a left to the body and a right uppercut oh that’s the story of the fight in microcosm cost a nice punch from Harrison and three back from zoo we hit a minute of round [Applause] eight they battle out in a foam [Applause] Booth uppercut by Zoo Harrison comes back with a right hand [Applause] Harrison holding his own on the inside but is that a place where he can turn the fight around I don’t think he can’t move anymore that’s why he’s he’s staying in there he tires more by using the whole
Ring just stay there but hey choose your punches wisely use those lateral movements SLI oh time time go there go there Tony go there go there stay there please please obviously some kind of moisture in the ring please yeah okay stay there okay stay there stay on the neutral
Corner I don’t think Harrison would have any objection to a little no no no he needs it yeah okay stay there stay there stay there okay come on let’s go box looping left hook by Zoo [Applause] misses Harrison pops it with a double jab and another [Applause] One you can see that right eye little Shiner under Tony Harrison’s right eye go there please and round and round and round eight you see a whole different fight now you see Tony standing in the middle you see see him not really moving much um you know the pressure just being
In Australia might something is wearing them down and it’s just not is is this not the the normal Tony that F Sergio Garcia well to your point champ if you watch the the range of this fight at the beginning obviously it was Harrison with that jab but there’s another left hand
By Zoo now it’s in close this is where Tim Tim Zoo wants this fight yeah and that happens early on in the fights that’s why you got to wait until like the third fourth round like all right there is a beginning you know uh Zoo trying to fill out Harrison that’s why
You know Harrison had his moments with the jab but it’s that pressure that Tim Su is applying right now and at at good range and keep in mind this is the round where Tim zo said I’m going to turn the tide and start to drown Tony
Harrison and what did Tony said if he drowns me I’m I’m I’ve been drowned before come back to life we’ll see God the irony of this situation is this is about the time in Tony Harrison’s fights where he’s faded and gotten stopped tonight he may need a
Knockout or at least a couple of knockdowns to stay in this fight against Tim Zoo double left hook by Tim zoo and then the right hand Harrison pops his head back with a jab and again got to follow it up with that right hand yeah throwing that jab
But he’s not throwing nothing else there’s that right hand as you talked about champ double Jab another one but no right hand as we take a look at the total power punches which is everything minus a jab yeah that’s almost three times the number of punches thrown Power Punch is thrown by
Zoo and almost three times the number landed and that’s the story of the fight right there there’s a right hand and another right hand right on the button to Harrison and a right to the V Harrison hurt he’s get hurt Sue backs him to the ropes there’s a left
Hook no movement no holding yeah he need to goar him he’s got to hold on double uppercut by Zoo he’s looking to stop Tony a and it drops him 4 5 6 7 hey come here what there what there no Dan Rex top dwon says that is it Tim
Zoo said I’m going to drown him in round nine and he gets the stoppage he predicted that and he did it wow ninth round against the pressure from Tim Zoo it was just too much for Harrison tonight a steady even performance by Tim
Zoo and if I had to use one word to kind of put in perspective now his eventual challenge of our man jell over here it’s he legit he further legitimized himself as a as a contender Jamal tell me what you saw I mean he did what he was
Supposed to do um he he he um did exactly what he was supposed to do he stood in there he fought had his hands up kept punching Tony Harrison Fades at the end he dominated during his time and and and that’s it but I’m none of those
Guys you know what I’m not Tony harison I’m going get in there and do what I got to do and move my my be let’s take a look at uh the show stats totals here and again it was those power punches that did in Tony Harrison yeah
39% of uh st’s punches landed but 45% of this power shots when you land 45% of your power shots and you throw as many as zo did in this fight you’re going to win every time here’s the finish the uppercut as you talked about and it wasn’t just one uppercut
One two 3 four five uppercuts he kept missing one two and with the overhand right that was that’s the one that did it and I would like to have seen the referee step in there I mean when you see Tony Harrison’s head getting hit like this wow especially as he turned
Away there I think that would have been a good time for the referee to come in but the referee didn’t and as a result Harrison suffered the knockdown last time Tim Zoo had gotten a stoppage it was July of 2021 when he stopped Steve spark he gets the stoppage tonight and
Once again has set himself up with a showdown against the Undisputed King of the division Jamal Charlo is still undefeated and now the ENT WBO super welterweight champion of the world Tim [Applause] zo Tim Zoo gets a ninth round stoppage he remains unbeaten he will be facing
Jamal Charlo tell me what you saw out of Tim zooo how would you how do you see a Jamal Charlo Timo he was a a you know impressive he did what he had to do at home he was a little flat to me um didn’t throw enough Jabs at the
Beginning but you know my movement my style my power will make him do completely different things yeah I think we have to remember that he wasn’t in with Jamal Charlo he was he was in with Tony Harrison and there’s a big difference but you know
What this I’m sure proved to be a very significant fight for Tim Zoo’s confidence because to fight for all four championship belts you need to be a confident fighter just for a moment have a look the ring here with through the confetti not many people get a moment
Like this what does it feel like thank you [Applause] Australia I got one one sentence what’s my [ __ ] name [Applause] [ __ ] is that what this was about is that what all this was about is it about proving to everyone to Tony to America to all of the doubters that you belong
No man this this is what about every single one of you that’s what it’s all about every single one that’s ever purchase pay-per-view that’s ever come here that’s just supports boxing in general I did it for all of you brothers and sisters there was a different mood to
You though through through the course of the buildup to this um we’ve talked about the soul taker before the soul taker was well and truly here tonight you know what I was smart I was smart I knew he had a jab so I had to be smart
About it cuz the competitor that I had in front of me he’s the man that beat the man which means I’ll just beat the man who beat the man what does that make me a word on this man because uh he’s won a lot of fans he’s been great in the
Buildup to this but what was it like sharing the ring with him here today my pleasure man the the respect is always there we never bow mouth each other we had a bit of banter but uh we always had respect for each other you know and uh in this ring is
Where we prove to each other you know and tonight I was a man that proved to him that I was a better man now Tim there are lots of Americans watching one of them is named Jamal Charlo do you have a message for him W the message was sent clearly you know
What’s up you know what’s next I’m coming I’m coming to V I’m coming to America congratulations on this Tim perhaps the first of many any final words to to everyone who’s come out here today and who’s watching around the world Australia you know but the world you know now what’s my [ __ ]
Name say my [ __ ] name Tim zoo and if we could have a chat to Tony Harrison and a round of applause please ladies and gentlemen for the former world champion and a tough tough dude Tony Harrison firstly are you okay yeah yeah yeah I’m cool man um I train hard
Extremely hard for the fight I don’t need no moral victories the better man won tonight and you know the city is El electric the crowd was electric and like I said the better man won tonight just a word on zoo because you know Global boxing better than anyone and you’ve
Been to the very top of the tree and it’s been such a pleasure to have you here but how good is team z uh the the better man won t I can’t I I ain’t going to you know give my assessment on them the better man won tonight that’s all I
Can say the better man won t night um he on the bigger and better things and you know I don’t know where I go here wherever you go we hope that you come back here sometime because you’re welcome anytime Tony Harrison you’re a champion thank you thank you Tim congratulations my
Boy Tony Harrison and the Victorious Tim zooo all right welcome back inside our New York City uh Studios we just saw Tim Zoo stop Tony Harrison there in the ninth round besides you know Tim zooo asking people to tell him what his name is uh give me your thoughts here on uh
Facing Tim zoo man I’m ready you know I when I get my hand right and we get back in the ring for some some more training put him back in we we that’s that’s that work did you see anything different out of Tim zo than what you were training
For no this exactly what we seen come forward not as fast and big bigger Pace strong of course throw hard punchers um don’t we all you know like but I’m a different I’m a different animal in there like I’m a different fighter than Tony he can’t compare me and try to
Compare Tony’s skills of boxing he did move um less than what he normally does but um obviously because the ring was smaller correct the ring was smaller but you know that that still doesn’t you know he he didn’t dog it out he didn’t bring that dog in him if he wanted to
Fight me he would have to bring more dog in him but Tim is next and that’s what we had before the injury so it’s not like I’m not prepared already absolutely so interesting tell me what you saw well clearly the night was about Tim zuo he’s
28 years old he’s in his prime and now he’s getting ready to fight Jamal for all four belts a quick point about Tony Harrison he’s 32 years old sometimes in boxing 32 can be older than it sounds but the bigger point for his future is that there’s only one champion at 154
Pounds so it’s not like he can go fight this guy or fight another guy or fight for the WBA or the WBC there’s only one Champion he now moves to the back of the line how much longer would he want to wait and is he capable of regaining his
Status so that he could get another shot at the title I don’t know the answer to that but I don’t think so and and at one point in that fight AB I remember telling you does Tony Harrison have enough to keep Tim Zoo off of him and
Like obviously we saw the we saw the answer to that and obviously this guy’s got a whole lot more Firepower uh than Tony Harrison but what did you see out well it surprising me it didn’t surp it didn’t um I mean I was impressed by Tim Sue’s performance honestly I just like the
Fact that he was so poed so concentrated he knew what he had had to do in that fight he didn’t press in the third fourth round he pressed when he needed to press and when he saw that he was hurt enough he took him out and I mean
That’s what that’s that’s what what I like about Fighters that are growing maturing to get to the level that they want to want to be in and I think he he showcased that tonight and deserving of a fight against remal and I think we’re just going to see a great fight with
These two fighting I love that he was preaching that he told us the ninth round is going to be that where I turned the tide and he certainly got the stoppage in that round and one one final point for me cuz this fight was in Australia Jamal’s the fighter with the
Four belts I’m guessing he’s not going to Australia absolutely you’re coming over here straight up well let’s take a look at the highlights here as Tim Zoo gets the stoppage over Tony Harrison and we go inside the ropes and it started well for Tony Harrison but then Tim Zoo started
Coming on strongly yeah the jab in the first round specifically was really really sharp for Tony Harrison he won that round on my card and then as the fight progressed you saw more and more right hands from Zoo not a lot of Jabs but again he was very patient adner
Pointed it out several times very patient took his time and before you knew it we were around six or seven and Harrison spent long periods of time during each round on the ropes and that enabled Zoo to land the right hand and some body shots all the power shots in
The fight were landed by zoo and uh it was brutal at the end this is the stoppage coming up in round number nine it was those right hands and then against the ropes it was just Zoo the upper cuts and he just teed off on Harrison and that was it as Harrison went
Down and after Dan Rex derson had him walk over looked in his eyes and said that was it ninth round stoppage for Tim Zoo

Is Harrisons right arm broken ?
Tszyu , I think is not impressive enough.a fight with Thurman would not be easy with him.thurman is an exciting fighter whole tszyu is little bit slower
추 가문의 펀치력은 뭔가가 있다……..
Soon as Jermell talks about Tszyu he gets angry….the subconscious mind hey
Tony dnt let his hands go any more after the 2 charlo fights
This guy is soooo overrated. The moment he grows some balls and fights outside his country he'll get embarrassed.
As a world champion, you need to fight around the world.
This guy is nothing special. Only a big name (in Australia) because of his dad.
He can't beat Jermell Charlo
TONY : He (TIM) was too Basic😒
hahahahahahahah😂🎉
I would've thought there was a standard size ring.
harrison no hands guarding his face
what coach tells you to keep your guard down?
💪 Tim TSZYU!
charlo is duck
Tinggi,jangkawan panjang tidak berpungsi,
Rugi
Penyesalan besar
@31:49 Harrison was hit at the back of the head. What the hell.
That ref soft for stopping the fight, Harrison followed the instructions he gave him.
Harrison looks like he's just gotten off of a drug rehabilitation program or something 😢… the fans got robbed on this 1 ngl smh…
charlo is scared he is a fake champ
Only fighter that could keep Tim off with a jab but wasn’t enough in the end..Light test
God bless you Tim Tszyu ❤
Thurman seems like a family man now, one big pay check and into retirement. Tszyu first half body punches and as Thurman slows in the second half he gets taken out .
