Tim Tszyu made the first defense of his WBO junior middleweight title with a unanimous decision over Brian Mendoza on Sunday in Gold Coast, Australia.
Mendoza was again in serious trouble in Round 10 after Tszyu trapped him on the ropes with an onslaught of power shots, but again was able to withstand the punishment."He's tough," said Tszyu, the son of Hall of Fame boxer Kostya Tszyu."He's crafty. He's slick. He's got power. He's world class for a reason. He's just behind me."
Slowly but surely, Tszyu was able to overwhelm Mendoza, who outboxed Tszyu early in the fight with an active jab and effective movement. But over the second half of the bout, Tszyu proved to be too much. Tszyu was ringside in Southern California when Charlo TKOed Brian Castano in a rematch in May 2022 to win the undisputed championship. Charlo and Tszyu were set to meet on Jan. 28 in Las Vegas, but Charlo withdrew with a broken hand.
