I went to high school with Vincent. We played on the Baseball team. Always was extremely humble. I was so happy for him. He was a great friend and good brother. God bless his heart.

So you know him personally? Where is he on Social Media? I been looking for him.I do a Boxing Show on KZread with my friend from New York and we would love to have him on our show to talk some Boxing.

Strange, that not so many commented on this fight. When a certain type of fighter losses, his fan base disappears. Yet, when they win, they're all here as if he's a personal friend of theirs. Ringside announcers also clearly in awe of Tszyu and it's understandable since they have never been in the ring and don't have the slightest idea of what's really happening. Happy to see that they had Roy at their side to clear things up! Doesn't take anything away from Tszyu's legacy. He was a bad dude!!! Just not the baddest

Huge Tszyu fan..but Vince came to fight! Can't take anything away from him. It's a shame Vince couldn't build on this success. Was he as talented as Tszyu? No. But on that night he was better.

​@mingthemerciless0319 well Vince had a good career. It just wasn't a Hall of Famer career. He had a few more defenses after this fight and beat some good fighters. But remember he was in his mid 30s when this fight took place. A time most fighters retire. Most of his loses came after to good fighters after Phillips was well past retirement time.

Both losses on Tszyu’s record came on very tough fights with opponents that could withstand he’s power and also had power to back their game plan. Kostya was like a brick wall. Not so much of a defensive fighter but had that great chin to compensate. Everyone should go and take a look at the Hatton fight. Same type of fight.

Exactly. In ancient times, a stone splitter would hit a stone over a thousand times. But eventually, that 1001 blow splits that stone. Phillips and Hatton both wore Tszyu down. But you have to take a hell of a lot of punishment to do that. Most can't.

I thought Tszyu's defence was usually good but he got hit a lot here - Phillips had worked out what it took to win and Tszyu ate a lot of right hands, usually he wouldn't. He didn't move much but he usually avoided a lot of punches through head movement and great reflexes - which had obviously slowed a little by the time he squared off against Hatton.

A great fight

Tszyu wasn’t big on defense it’s probably why he was such a fun guy to watch. But letting a guy that could punch like Phillips catch him that many times clean it was bound to end in KO.

Did you watch how the ref allowed Phillips to hit and hold since the first round? Most of the damage inflicted on Tszyu was because of hitting and holding.

Larry has always been a very strange person

Mantap philips.

Tszyu wrote in his book that the court case between him and Mordy was a distraction leading up to this fight.

Possibly could have been, would have been quite a stressful period for him, anyone being sued would probably find it that way. Would be difficult to stay focused under the circumstances. But at the end of the day Phillips was too good for him here.

Pertama , Vence Phillip memiliki daya tahan pukulan cukup baik . Kedua , stamina Vence Phillip cukup bagus . 3. Ketiga , pukulan straight Vence Phillip sangat tajam dan keras . 4. Bobot pukulan keras dan tajam dari Vence Phillip inilah yang menentukan kemenangannya . 5. Technic bertinju Tszyu lebih bagus dari Vence Phillip . 6. Tetapi Tszyu kalah cepat dan kalah tepat dan kalah keras pukulannya di bandingkan dengan Vence Phillip . 7. Namun dari semuanya itu , keberuntungan berpihak pada Vence Phillip... Bravo Phillip 👍🙏🌹

@Joe_Crow wouldn't have mattered. Styles make fights, and Phillips was the wrong fight for Tszyu's style. I hate when people chalk up wins and losses to the referee. 20 years ago, no one said the referee is the reason they got knocked out.
