Tszyu beats Nurja, wants Spence Jr next

Wollongong, Australia on weekend. Tszyu dominated the fight and dropped Nurja once in round four. Fight was for WBO International middleweight title. All three judges score the fight in favor of Tszyu with same result 100:88. Tszyu had a cut from early in the fight but that didn’t stop him.

“This time we won with the cut. I can’t complain,” smiled Tszyu.

Asked whether Tzsyu took it easy in the later rounds, he was honest enough to deny it.

“He’s tough, and I expected that,” said Tszyu. “He came in with the perfect record, so I knew he was no joke. I had him a couple times, but he didn’t drop. Those were some good rounds. I was trying to take him out. He’s just tough. Big respect.”

Tszyu said he would want to fight former world champion Erroll Spence Jr next.

“I feel like I’m up for Errol Spence Jr,” said Tszyu. “I think that would be one hell of a fight. That’s a banger. I don’t take a backward step. If he’s ready to meet me there, bring it on.”
