Right here’s some excerpts of what Tszyu needed to say.
Tszyu on going right into a Fundora battle as a substitute of Thurman
“Effectively, as soon as I got here again from the [Spencer] battle I used to be like ‘I need Fundora’ and I pushed the boys and the boys have been like ‘yeah, it might occur.’ I used to be like ‘alright, let’s get it on.’ So when the chance offered I took it with each fingers.
“The truth that I can rewrite historical past and make a legacy in a comeback in a narrative to be advised for years, that’s my objective. To have the ability to come again from the 12 months that I had and to proceed on in a distinct method, that’s my objective.”
On if he believes he would’ve crushed Fundora the primary time round if not for the elbow that minimize him
“To a sure extent, yeah. However I can’t sulk on previous and what occurred so I type of have this chance to rewrite it once more. I do know I felt him, I do know I had him, I simply must show it now.
“I believe we are able to create a correct sport plan, chop down the tree, you recognize. He’s received these bodily genetics that he’s so tall, so lengthy, that it’s arduous for any fighter. So that you simply must adapt and benefit from it.”
On how he sees Pacquiao’s probabilities in opposition to Barrios
“I can’t see Manny successful, to be sincere with you. I believe age is a giant issue. Though he’s my favourite fighter and stuff like that, Mario Barrios is a beast, 30 years younger, within the prime, going from a world title. It’s a tough problem for Manny.”
On whether or not he’d be stunned to see Pacquiao win
“No, it wouldn’t shock me. That’s the factor, ‘trigger he’s Manny Pacquiao. He’s stuffed with surprises.”
