Murtazaliev vs Tszyu HIGHLIGHTS: October 19, 2024 | PBC on Prime Video

Undefeated IBF Super Welterweight World Champion Bakhram Murtazaliev dropped former world champion Tim Tszyu four times on his way to a third-round stoppage in the main event of PBC Championship Boxing on Prime Video action Saturday night from the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida.

After winning the title in his opponent’s home territory of Germany earlier this year, Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 KOs) made a statement by dropping Tszyu (24-2, 17 KOs) early and often on his way to the dominant stoppage.

The first knockdown came in round two with a strong counter left hook sending Tszyu to the canvas. Tszyu showed the incredible grit that’s made him a superstar in his native Australia to rise to his feet, but was ultimately sent back to the ground two more times in the round.

"We just worked on these combinations all the time and when the fight came, it was automatic,” said Murtazaliev. “We worked for 10 weeks on those punches that hurt him. We created opportunities and we believed that we could win this fight.”

Continuing to press forward and look for moments in round three, Murtazaliev landed another vicious counter left hand that scored him his fourth knockdown in less than three rounds. While Tszyu continued to battle back, the onslaught from Murtazaliev proved to be too much as Tszyu’s corner threw in the towel, ending the fight 1:55 into the round.

"When I landed that first big shot, I knew how hard it was,” said Murtazaliev. “Tszyu is a real warrior and I hope one day we can work together and spar and help each other to grow."

"Every time I step into the ring I leave it all in there,” said Tszyu. “Things didn't go to plan and the better man won tonight. No excuses. After the first shot, things started not going according to plan. That's part of boxing, you get hit and reactions get slower. Bakhram is the man at 154."

Murtzaliev just put himself on the map with that annihilation

[vinceharris]

Tim got beat from Pillar to Post. This is what happens when you don’t develop Ring Iq or Defense. You can’t rely on being a warrior forever if you wanna be successful in boxing 🤷🏾‍♂️

Who in the world was in this man’s corner?
They stopped 2-3 knocked downs too late. He never recovered from the 1st and simply fighting on instinct.

[arsinasni]

Corner were a disgrace. When he's clearly standing so static against a huge puncher, you either get him to box and if he's clearly too hurt, get him out. He's lucky that didn't end in a disaster on a stretcher. The fighter is never gonna stop- that's what his team are there for. We've all seen enough of him to know he was concussed and had no chance of defending himself properly. ❤

Бахрам учился со мной в одной школе, младше на 1 год. Он всегда был спокойным и заступался за своих одноклассников! Поздравляем его!!! Город Пласт

[gabino]

Never saw Murtazaliev until a few days ago when I checked out his highlights. It didn't take long for me to see how dangerous he is. That man is going to ruin a lot of opponents. Wow.

[stonebone]

That left hook on that 4th knockdown was a thing of beauty.

[eddie-ou]

Man! What an absolute slaughter. Knocked him into another time zone.

[TC-yqog]

It's over for Tszyu at world level, this was brutal, no plan B. Why his corner sent him out for the 3rd round is mind boggling, he got obliterated from the off. Bakhram is the new threat at 154 - him vs the winner of Bohachuk vs Madrimov would be fireworks.

[terryduckworth]

Dropped his hands each time he was throwing. Just outclassed.

Never seemed to recover but he has heart!

[CutStonePRO]

Saddest shit I’ve seen for Tzu.. congratulations to Bahkram

[JohnDoe-iqbz]

Never heard of this Murtazaliev guy and I've been watching boxing for 2 decades. Damn, they keep producing these beasts out of those Caucas regions in Russia. This was a one sided beatdown.

[JayB-]

Old school beating 🔥 Respect to both Warriors

[vvv-kk]

Муртазалиев просто волчара !!! Мои Поздравления !!!

[HNXMedia]

Dang Tim. You could land a plane between his right hand and his chin. Get that thing back in position! Credit to Murtazaliev. He is going to wreck some fools.

[flxsemi]

It's my first time seeing a Murtazaliev fight, and I'm super impressed how his punches flow into the next punch and using the effect of his previous punch to further put his opponent into a worse predicament. I don't think it's a flurry or a combination per se but rather intelligent follow-ups.

[steve_santiago]

I was there. Surprisingly small crowd that was beyond stunned. Murtazaliev has a new fan in me for sure.

[NehaKhan-slnw]

This was exactly what I needed, thanks!

[ramadanbaftiyar]

This is exactly what happens when you underestimate and disrespect your opponent while you overestimate your ownself.bakram punished him exactly like he said he would and backed up his words in the ring not just outside of it.

[yoskiUCy_TfipEEJf]

This was the craziest thing I've ever seen thank you pbc
