Tim Tszyu vs. Joey Spencer: Full results

The Tim Tszyu vs. Joey Spencer showdown marked the highly anticipated comeback of former WBO super welterweight champion Tszyu in the wake of the back-to-back defeats he'd suffered inside the squared circle. It was viewed as a crossroads fight for Tszyu and a golden opportunity for Spencer to make a name for himself.

'Soul Taker' was previously undefeated as a professional boxer. He was outpointed by Sebastian Fundora in a blood-soaked war in early 2024 and was knocked out by Bakhram Murtazaliev later in the same year. Notably, loss to Murtazaliev was his first-ever stoppage defeat in the paid boxing ranks.

Tim Tszyu vs. Joey Spencer (WBO Inter-Continental super welterweight championship)

Heading into the fight, many fans argued that Tim Tszyu was in a must-win situation. The son of the legendary Kostya Tszyu, Tim found himself faced with considerable criticism for his most recent performance. Regardless, the Australian combatant affirmed his confidence in his craft and vowed to mount a triumphant comeback.

True to his word, Tszyu's comeback fight, which saw him take on America's Joey Spencer, saw him put on an incredible performance. 'Soul Taker' left no stone unturned in dissecting his opponent. The early going saw both fighters gauge the distance and seemingly exercise an abundance of caution.

However, the complexion of the fight quickly changed when Tszyu appeared to find his rhythm. The Australian simply seemed to be one step ahead of Spencer in their showdown. His defense was on point, and his offense gradually reached a point where Spencer was hardly able to throw anything in return without getting punished.

Tszyu went from landing the odd good shot and disengaging to craftily landing combinations. Ultimately, Tszyu's combinations and relentless pressure proved to badly hurt Spencer, whose corner threw the towel in. Tszyu was thereby declared the winner via TKO in round four. Tszyu later called out former world champion Keith Thurman.

Endry Saavedra vs. Mikkel Nielsen (WBO International middleweight championship)

Both Saavedra and Nielsen opened the fight showcasing excellent pugilistic prowess. Regardless, a rift in power was apparent as the matchup progressed, with Saavedra seemingly landing the more impactful punches and doing so with notable frequency.

The cracks in Nielsen's defense became increasingly evident as Saavedra began landing with greater accuracy and seemed to have his opponent's timing down. Saavedra deftly utilized information from the early exchanges to better manage the distance and break his foe down with uppercuts and hooks.

Eventually, fatigue appeared to set in for Nielsen, which proved to be his undoing, as Saavedra kept the pressure on and finished him via TKO. That said, the finishing sequence did lead some to question whether a low blow was involved and if the referee made the right call with the stoppage.
