Tim could have controlled this fight but he got caught up in the emotions that comes with big fights. His lay off didn't allow him to get relaxed and realize that this opponent needed to be boxed not fight with.
So a fight broke out and the men showed why top tier competitors have heart and the will to win.
If there was any questions about either of these men not giving their all it was certainly answered!
I though it was a one point victory for Tim with Rocky showing that a bit more higher work rate on his behave could have earned him a tko win over Tim. It was a nice change to see two men exhausted after the final bell had rung. So many so called top fights have both men no where near being tired after 12 rounds and that shows us who the real competitors are. "leave it all in the ring".
Ray.
