Tim Tszyu, the former WBO world champion in the first middleweight, commented on the defeat to Sebastian Fundora, which was the first in his professional career.
"I didn't feel like I lost the fight. Considering the circumstances I was in. It was a tough fight, the victory was given to someone who deserved it. But lessons have been learned. I'll be better next time. My first reaction was a state of shock. I tilted my head and saw a fountain of blood. I felt like I couldn't continue the fight. But at the same time I thought I had to continue, I had to dominate my opponent. So it was mixed emotions. I thought I couldn't stick to the plan for the fight, I was thinking more about how to stop the blood. It was embarrassing for me. But it's a useful experience to learn how to stick to the fight plan until the last one," Tszyu told Fox Sports Australia.
