Tim Tszyu has made the statement he needed to in his final fight in Australia before heading overseas, defeating American Brian Mendoza by unanimous decision , , to defend his WBO junior middleweight belt. Two-time welterweight champion Shawn Porter had said pre-fight that Mendoza needed to find a way to make Tszyu uncomfortable early and liked what he saw early. In what was an evenly fought opening round, a big shot from Tszyu on the bell may have been the difference in separating the two and leaving the greater impression on the judges. Tszyu though was patient too in picking his moments, as he did at the end of the second round scoring a clean The Australian then landed a big uppercut in the fifth that cut Mendoza open and seemed to sense his moment, swarming with a few more pinpoint shots to press the American towards the ropes. Mendoza later fired back with an uppercut of his own but Tszyu was unbothered, continuing to pressure the challenger and close out his best round of the fight. Tszyu, when he needed to, went to a new level. And Tszyu had another level left in him, rocking Mendoza once more with another uppercut in the seventh. But the American, seemingly on the brink of going down, was somehow able to not only stay on his feet but work towards the body of Tszyu to briefly keep the Australian at bay. Still, Tszyu continued to stalk Mendoza as he sensed the finish was near with the Gold Coast crowd cheering him on. In the end Mendoza was able to last until the bell as the fight went into an eighth round, with Tszyu well and truly in control at that point.

Winner drawn every Friday at 11am. Promotion ends April 12th, If it was needed, a statement has been made. Tim Tszyu belongs in the very highest echelons of the Super Welterweight division after an authoritative knockout win over former champion Tony Harrison in Sydney. He takes the interim world title today, but will have designs on the undisputed version currently owned by Jermell Charlo. Harrison is the only man to have defeated Charlo, who was due to take on Tszyu, before a sparring injury intervened. Say my motherf—ing name! The end, when it came, was surgical rather than concussive. The whole fight had been a stylistic clash, with the naturally defensive Harrison willing to fight on the outer and the all action Tszyu able to break the wall enough to pick up rounds. With the American behind on the cards, he opted to stray into the middle and was met by a range of accurate uppercuts that stunned, before the weight of blows sent Harrison almost out of the ring and finally to the floor.

Fenech actually did a good job to drastically reduce the bleeding. Amelia was sporting a vicious cut above her right eye that required some serious work from her corner to fix as Main Event commentator Ben Damon watched on in disbelief. The American champion just tweeted a simple 'he's dangerous' and Tszyu was rapt to hear it, labelling Crawford one of his favourite fighters. Ogden pours it on but gets caught with a left hook. Good shot to the kidney from Mendoza. He's also certain body punching will play a big role in the result. The doctor is examining him and there's plenty of blood on both men. Up next: Vegas Larfield vs Jhunrille Castino. He scored a draw the last time he fought Hepi, but this result was about as clear-cut as it gets. Shawn Porter is urging Hamdan to keep going with the jab, and he replies with a cracker. Isaac Liki is seen lying stricken on the canvas after copping a diamond of a left hook from Liam Talivaa.
The year-old knocked Harrison to the canvas with several uppercuts with the referee stepping in shortly after to give Tszyu a TKO victory in the ninth round.
Goodman's best round so far - to him. Talivaa found his mark, landing the blow right on the button to send his rival crashing to the canvas - and he never looked a chance of beating a count.

How one judge gave that fight to Aleem is one of life's great mysteries. How Tim will treat himself if he beats Ocampo. I knew this belt was coming home with us. Tszyu is still walking him down though and looks OK, landing a jab of his own. A short left momentarily stuns Castino but he keeps loading up - and gets whacked by a clean left hook for his troubles. The preliminary fights will begin on Fox Sports Channel at 9. He is looking a bit gassed and Goodman lands a good shot to the liver, then a nice right to the head a few seconds later. He collapses into his corner after Tszyu went to work — one of those upper cuts lands and Mendoza is outta here. Goodman hasn't been hurt by anything Aleem has hit him with and looks the more composed of the two. Good shot from Tszyu but he was caught again as he came forward.
Bravo, you were not mistaken :)
