Bakhram Murtazaliev vs. Tim Tszyu – Tale of the Tape
THIS is a potentially tasty affair in Orlando as Bakhram Murtazaliev defends his IBF super-welterweight title against Tim Tszyu. The champion was in line to fight Jermell Charlo but failed to call on his position, instead opting to step aside and allow Charlo to unify with Brian Castano.
Critical of that decision, Tszyu says he would never have allowed an opportunity to pass him by. The size dimensions are interesting here. Both men can punch. Tszyu would be used to fighting bigger men, considering he arrives off the back of a loss to Sebastian Fundora. Murtazaliev is tall, strong and rangy. Who holds the edge in this 154-pound headliner? Here’s a rundown of the vital statistics.
