Thread: Kostya Tszyu

Here's a highlight vid, I've posted it before, thought it should be brought up again.

That Judah KO never gets old

I wish they picked a different song, but either than that, it was good.

I'm at work so it's on mute

Tszyus documentary titled "Destiny" is one of the best I've seen.
Because it takes you to the core of his traning and what he went through.

Tszyus argueably the best 140 lbr. ever...

I havn't heard of that Doco but going to have a look for it now.. I really got into boxing as Kostya's career was winding down, but he's one of my favourite fighters regardless.. One tough cookie

I posted this vid in a thread about a year ago. Dont mind watching it again tho. Some of Kstyas punches are a thing of beauty to any boxing fan. Especially the overhand right. Pity he didnt get more big names in the ring with him.

I have always been a big fan of KT and was very happy to be at ringside for his fight against Leija here in Melbourne. I can't help thinking that we never really saw the very best of him, i know he was good and i think without doubt one of the best 140lb fighters ever. His demolition of Miguel Angel Gonzalez was brutal, his KO of Judah is now legendary, his destruction of Sharmba Mitchell devastating yet i feel we never saw the very best of him.
Injuries and inactivity towards the end of his career hampered his opportunities and by the time the super fights were coming his way he was pushing 36yrs old.! I think both DLH and Mosley convienantly avoided him back in 1996 and 1999 respectively when the chance was there to fight him.
He really needed that superfight, he was going to get it if he had beaten Hatton, i think the PBF fight would have happened had he won in 2005.
Tszyu was a monster in the ring and a gentleman out of it, all to rare these days.

My top 3 Super Lightweights ever are : Pryor, Tszyu and Chavez. Not bad company to be in.

couldn't even watch the whole thing the music was horrible

That's great! I've seen his more notable fights, but certainly there are a lot I havn't...

Wish he went after Phillips .
The fact that Ricky eventually did it for him was a real smart move.

Aside from Phillips being stronger on the night and on fire, I think Urkal put up the best fight against an on form Tszyu.

Bit OT, but I'm taking this was an Aussie made documentary? (interviews etc).

If so why was an English narrator used? Is this just a one off or is this common practice in Australia? Just wondered like...

I dont know. Whos doing the commentating? do you recognize the voice?
Most of the higher private school educated out here have a toffee nosed posh style of speaking that could be mistaken for upperclass English .
I'l listen again..


Yeah I think its some posh dude who does voice overs out here a fair bit ,probably came from English blood and got well educated too.

I agree the song was kind of gay but it was made for him so
