Spence Vs. Tzsyu Live: Results From Australia - Boxing News 24/7

What the report says

East Side Boxing reported that Tim Tszyu defeated Errol Spence Jr. by unanimous decision in a 12-round super welterweight main event Saturday night at Afterpay Arena in Sydney, Australia. Tszyu, listed at 28-3 with 18 knockouts, was credited with outworking Spence, listed at 28-2 with 22 knockouts, after the former unified welterweight champion had a strong start behind his southpaw jab and left hand.

According to the report, Tszyu increasingly dictated the fight in the second half, using forward pressure and repeated right hands to push Spence onto the defensive. Spence was described as rallying late, including cleaner body work and left hands in the 11th round on some cards, but Tszyu answered in the final round by pressing the action and limiting Spence’s offense. The outlet also reported that Spence announced his retirement shortly after the final bell.

The result is a significant one for Tszyu at super welterweight, giving him a high-profile victory over one of the best-known fighters of the previous welterweight era. If Spence’s postfight announcement stands, the bout would also represent a major career turning point for a boxer who previously held multiple welterweight titles.

The card’s other reported results included Ahmad Reda moving to 9-0 with a unanimous decision over Paul Fleming, Callum Peters remaining unbeaten by seventh-round TKO against Ivan Ricardo Actis, and Paulo Aokuso stopping Luis Antonio Tejeda in the 10th round. Tina Rahimi and Brandon Grach also won unanimous decisions on the Sydney undercard.
