Tim Tszyu continues to not just ask questions of every fighter placed before him — but the men charged with protecting them. And it prompted an emotional plea from Dennis Hogan’s trainer.
There was to be no repeat as Tszyu crunched his way to an 18th straight win that puts him on the path to a world title shot, and everyone was full of praise for Edwards’ call to get Hogan out of the ring.“There was no protest either from Hogan. When the towel went in, there was no protest.”Main Event presenter Warren Smith added: “That was the stoppage that Stephen Edwards was recommending to Glenn Rushton for Jeff Horn up in Townsville last year.
“Dennis Hogan, he’d been down, that uppercut nearly took his head off, those body shots were ripping him apart.”Tszyu’s star continues to rise as he marches on towards a super welterweight world title fight, showing off a new weapon by Hogan was lucky to survive the fourth round when Tszyu left him keeled over as a result of shots to his liver. Tszyu then showed his boxing craft by going in for the kill straight at Hogan’s head when he could smell how wounded his opponent was.
