Former world champion in the first heavyweight category Denis Lebedev commented on the victory of the Australian boxer Tim Tszyu against the American Brian Mendoza.
On Sunday night, Tszyu defeated American Brian Mendoza by unanimous decision in Sydney to defend his WBO junior middleweight title for the first time.
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 fight in Australia. For Mendoza, 29, this defeat is the third of his career; he also has 22 victories (16 by KO).
– Tszyu is really “led” competently. On the other hand, which champion is “led” illiterately? If a boxer actually competes for the belts, his opponents are always carefully selected at the start. But everything Tim has, he deserves. I agree that Mendoza became the first truly serious opponent of Tszyu Jr. However, everything that happened before in his career led to such a confrontation. There is nothing unusual here. Normal workflow. This is how true champions are promoted. The sonorous last name only adds interest to Tim. And so he and Konstantin have absolutely no connection: one has already become famous, for the other everything is just beginning, ”quotes RT Lebedev.
