Tim Tszyu Outpoints Errol Spence Jr as Ahmad Reda and Paulo Aokuso Claim Big Wins

Tim Tszyu has the biggest win of his career, and Errol Spence Jr’s return ended with a second professional defeat. Tszyu took the main event by unanimous decision after 12 rounds, while Ahmad Reda handled business against Paul Fleming and Paulo Aokuso delivered the card’s biggest finish in the final round.

Main Event: Tim Tszyu Beats Errol Spence Jr

Tim Tszyu improved to 28-3-0 with a unanimous decision victory over Errol Spence Jr, who falls to 28-2-0.

All three judges gave the fight to Tszyu after the full 12 rounds. That is a massive result for the Australian, particularly against a former world champion carrying the name and reputation of Spence.

Spence’s long-awaited return therefore ended in defeat, while Tszyu produced exactly the sort of win he needed after entering the night with three losses on his record. Call it a bit of an upset if you like, but the result itself was emphatic: Tszyu won by unanimous decision and claimed the headline victory.
