Boxing: Tim Tszyu will set sight on challenges overseas following his title bout with Brian Mendoza.
Mario Barrios has WBC gold and, he will tell you, intimate knowledge of how Tim Tszyu loses his own world title this Sunday.Only a fortnight after claiming the WBC interim welterweight title, Barrios has jetted into the Gold Coast this week to cheer close mate and fellow American Mendoza against Australia’s Tim Tszyu.
shortly after landing for fight week, Barrios was far more complimentary of the Sydney star – “he’s a phenomenal fighter” – but backed Stevenson’s upset call. “And now this past year everyone else is finding out, too,” the champ added, alluding to Mendoza’s two most recent KO wins over Jeison Rosario and Sebastian Fundora.“He’s such a nice dude but, when you’re training with him, he is moving, moving, it’s almost like he lures you to sleep.
