That’s all folks

That’s all from us. I’ll come up with a fresh piece after Tim Tszyu’s press conference, a chance for him to further appraise one of the most devastating performances in Australian boxing history.

A great day for the local boxing scene, with Sam Goodman also winning and getting his dream title shot.

Tszyu’s next opponent is Jermell Charlo. This win was a clear statement to the American that Tszyu is primed to seriously challenge for the undisputed champion tag.

That’s all from us, thanks for your company!

Sam Goodman slams “crazy” decision

Sam Goodman is currently holding a press conference, speaking about a victory which has set up a world title fight.

“I thought it was crazy, I thought I won eight rounds to four,” Goodman said when asked about the contentious split decision.

Did Tszyu have somewhere to be?

Honestly, it felt like Tim Tszyu had parked his car in a restricted zone and didn’t want to get a ticket.

There was no dipping his toe into this contest, the ‘Soul Taker’ came out like a man possessed.

Another devastating Tim Tszyu victory.

Here is all the action ...

Bring on Charlo

Somewhere in the United States, Jermell Charlo would have witnessed this.

Tszyu was meant to fight the Charlo in January. The cocky American probably wishes he was fight to take him on then.

Since then, Tszyu destroyed Tony Harrison, the only person to have defeated Charlo. And then this afternoon, a credentialled Mexican warrior wasn’t able to last two minutes.

Tszyu is going to a new level every time he steps into the ring. He may well start the fight against Charlo, pencilled in for October, as the favourite.

As they say, you don’t get paid overtime ...

What a day for Australian boxing

First, it was Sam Goodman earning a world title fight. While that bout went the entire 12 rounds - Goodman won via split decision - the judges weren’t required for what happened next.

Tszyu has shown improvement every time he has stepped into the ring, but this was something else.

What a knockout!

Ocampo didn’t know what hit him ... within seconds, it was obvious this was only going to go one way.
