Playing for Australia Tim Tszyu was functionally well prepared for the fight with American Brian Mendoza, the 2016 Olympic champion told Yevgeny Tishchenko .
Tszyu beat Mendoza by unanimous decision on Sunday in Sydney in his first defense of the WBO junior middleweight title. The Australian representative had already won this belt without a fight when the American Jermell Charlo left it for a fight with the Mexican Saul Alvarez, in which he lost by unanimous decision.
— I liked Tszyu’s performance. He distributed himself over the entire distance and was functionally ready for all 12 laps. Mendoza is a tough boxer. Not standard. Yi Tszyu looked good. “I would love to watch Tszyu fight with Charlo,” Tishchenko told .
Tim Tszyu is the son of former absolute junior welterweight champion Konstantin Tszyu. The 28-year-old boxer has 24 victories in the professional ring (17 by KO). Tim Tszyu has spent all but one of his fights in Australia. For Mendoza, 29, this defeat is the third of his career; he also has 22 victories (16 by KO).
