Can Tim Tszyu bounce back from his loss, or will Murtazaliev's knockout power be too much?

Tim Tszyu will want to prove two things when he steps into the squared circle against Bakhram Murtazaliev. First, he still belongs to the division’s top hierarchy, and second, his last loss to Sebastian Fundora was a mere hiccup. But standing before him is an IBF champion, who has a spotless record. That’s not all. Like him, the champion carries devastating knockout power behind his punches. So, it’s a tough test for the Australian former WBO light middleweight champion, as he endeavors to clinch the gold once again.

The fans will watch the action unfold as the two aggressive and forward-coming fighters will go toe-to-toe and fight it out for the IBF strap. Besides, the PBC event has other exciting and mouthwatering fights lined up, and therefore the event has set the table for the fans to feast on. If you are looking for the fight’s details and how to catch the action live, then EssentiallySports has you covered.

Murtazaliev vs. Tszyu will go as per schedule as they fight for supremacy in the super welterweight division. The fight will happen on Saturday, October 19th at Caribe Royale Orlando in Orlando, Florida. The venue is slowly becoming a combat sports hub, as BKFC had staged its ’25’ and ’32’ numbered events with thrilling fights such as Reginald Barnett Jr. vs. Geane Herrera, and Arnold Adams vs. Dillon Cleckler. In addition, the venue had ensured the fans rallied behind local favorite Nestor Bravo as he defended his WBO NABO junior welterweight title against Jair Valtierra last year.

Undercard details

Yoenis Tellez vs. Johan Gonzalez

Two rapidly rising super welterweights collide as they double up as the supporting act to Murtazaliev vs. Tszyu. While Tellez, at 8-0, looks to shield his perfect record, Gonzalez, at 35-3, will endeavor to continue his form. It might prove to be a tough fight for Tellez, who is fighting an opponent, who has won all but one fight via knockout.

Mateo Tapia vs. Endry Saavedra

Tapia, at 17-0, will open the main card action and sway the fans, as he takes on a power puncher in Saavedra, at 16-1, and tries to stop his opponent’s three-fight streak. It remains to be seen how the Australian boxer utilizes his local exploits and solid amateur results to turn in better professional results on American soil.
