Still one of my favorite fighters of all time. Kostya’s boxing was incredible to watch.
Jake actually worked for Kostya a few years after this fight. True gentlemen and Kostya is brilliant.

Kostya had a great career. He was an outstanding amateur so he went to Australia to fight important names from the begining. He fought La Porte (a guy who fought Chavez and Wilfredo Gomez) in his fourth fight just to give an example. He didn't want to lose time because he knew he was an elite fighter.
You're correct..I saw an analysis on a boxing forum and Kostya had nearly the toughest first 20 fights than anyone...there was only 1 fighter (can't remember name) who technically fought equal or more former or current champs than Kostya in the first 15 or 20 fights.
Kostya apparently had some bad luck in management/politics of boxing/etc...I played cards with a member of his team years ago (like 2008 or so) and he was saying how the deal with moving from HBO to Showtime and some promotional stuff really kept Kostya on the back burner during his career...he also had to nurse several injuries and couldn't commit to the huge fights on a moments notice. He told me that Mayweather's people said they would fight in a year (like 2002) and Oscar simply got the heck outta the division....not saying they really accused them of "ducking" Kostya...it's more like "If I'm going to take a huge risk, then we got to make it a mega fight"...Oscar got more money fighting Camacho than he could of made against Kostya...which sucks as that would be a great fight...especially compared to the Camacho fight.
Yeah plus he said "fuck Russia" and all this bullshit snow. He became an Australian.....for good.
@@lemankurtz8950 He lives in Moscow.
wouch!!!

Tszyu perfected the art of fighting south paws . He never had trouble with any left handed fighter during his whole career. He seemed to be able to position them and drop that right hand lead on to them
Steel is an absolute joke. God they made it hard for Kostya in the States.
They didn't want him there.
absolute pathetic refereeing
The men in this ring . Two gentlemen and one incompetent. Steel.
Steel is a joke.
Well done Jake . You were fighting the best 140 that ever lived
Yeah....didnt Jake have a fight with Padilla where over 1000 punches were thrown? Exciting and durable guy....most of the time Lolz
Yep, that referee was so bent, he could hide behind a corkscrew!
Kostya poetry in motion, what a champion 🥊 , absolutely great boxer, precise, power, pressure, one of the greats at 140lbs, Mayweather wouldn't fight Kostya 😂
Kostya is great boxer...Beatiful 90'....
Спасибо большое за видео!
That means 'Thank you very much for the video!'
Yes, exactly
Jack 26 r s i
I like the way the commentary team seem outraged by the fact that Kotya's team wanted at least one Australian judge...as if they didn't know his manager was absolutely robbed by the WBC 4 years earlier in Las Vegas (Jeff Fenech v Azumah Nelson).
speed power & balance set the tone for things to come
thank you uploader
BEST WELTER WEIGHT OF ALL TIME
really lol u mean super lightweight
ЭТО ТОЧНО - THIS IS TRUE
@@nuke1upgames913 МОЖЕТ БЫТЬ, НО ПОТОМ, КОГДА СТАНЕТ АБСОЛЮТНЫМ ЧЕМП МИРА В SUPER LIGHT WEIGHT'Е, НУ А ПОКА ЧТО В JUNIOR WELTER WEIGHT'Е
Ray Robinson is probably the greatest Welter of all time.
ummmm.... lol
Richard Steele was definitely desperately trying to get Rodriguez over the line..
Two classy fighters.
and one incompetent ref.
Great fight by Kostya, all class by Jake. Respect to both.
Костя красавчик!!! Живая легенда!!!!
Да красиво работал, всегда, молочага, скорость упор накал победа👍
You could see a champ at this early stage of pro career. So strong at 140.
We can all claim certain fighters at 140 were true greats, but for a start i'd rule out any southpaws immediately against Tszyu. He had a certain way of dealing with them. Wonderful champ with true power at that weight.
Richard Steele should have been punted and never aloud to ref another fight…….it’s people like him that make boxing decisions go the other way! when you can clearly see the who’s the best boxer. And what about the no knock down call 🤦🏼♂️🙆♂️
Best 140 ever. They never stopped running from Kostya.Could have been managed better. Not enough fights
Why wouldn't they run? The guy is scary as fuck. Biggest right hand the division has ever seen.
+Adam Wedlock Agreed with no second thoughts!
Yep, golden boy and Floyd money still running :-)
Fair call but when you hit that hard they all avoid you.
Anne Shaw 20 world title fights and some injury , he boxed professionally from 23yrs old. He was as active as he could be.
fight until dead, that's the spirit of Jake Rodriguez, I like him despite he was lose in this battle
typical amerikan "fair play", Can't play fair, have to try and rig everything in their favour. Kosta was supreme from the first round and held through till the last, SHAME there wasn't a impartial Referee
Dick Steeler by name ... Kostya had to KO/TKO Rodriguez, imagine if it went to the judges? Can only imagine!
Kostia - Terminator
I would have loved to see tszyu and Mayweather
no contest... tszyu by ko.
that would've been sweet . The power and pressure of tzyu v the speed and defensive mastery of mayweather . I think tzyu would win but only if his on. otherwise mayweather will take him to school.
@@aljordan5193Kostya. Easy. Mayweather never wanted to fight Kostya or Manny
Mayweather would beat kostya on points every time.
@@johnkennedy7368 Bullshit maweather only fought ,fairies when they had lost their wings , Nobody will be wachin maryweather in the future . LOL ,no one waches him now , with any brains or boxing background
Молодой ещё пока Цзю, боксирует. Красавчик
Great fight. And... total respect to Jake Rodriguez;s coments.
I wouldn't want to replace Jake, even though (shamfully) I had bever heard of him before watching this.
I am damn sure I will try to find more video's of him.
Kostya... a legend in his own right.
Great man, Great Fighter, With a Superb Trainer in J Lewis !
Could They have made it any harder for him to Win ?No, I don't think So ?
None the less, with a trainer behind him like Kostya had, with the Will to Succeed,determination, Guts of a Champion & of a fighter from the Start in His Life, How Could this Great Fighter Fail ?
The Story of Kostya &.Johnny Lewis is Intertwined and a another Great & Unique Story in Itself ?
Great Men together from different backgrounds but when coming together, Excelled at the Highest Level ! Loved Them both !
One of the very best Fighters ever to Represent Australia ,Congratulations
Kostya Tszyu !
I agree with you both men Johny lewis and Kostya Tszyu we're incredibly well mannered and actions men. Kostya who rose to the top of his division. In my opinion Kostya is still the best Australian boxer I've ever seen fight im not saying he is without a doubt the best Australian boxer because I've not seen footage of all Australian boxers.
The word was out they were always going to make it hard to win in the States. They put in place every every hurdle they could. Look at Steel in this fight Joke.
As a American I used to think that was just a poor excuse by foreigners. But it can't even be questioned anymore! It's so obvious That every country stacks the deck before the fight ever begins in favor of the home fighter! The horn/paqioua and canelo /ggg fights the past few years have made it plain for all to see!
Sunny Bunny. You are right!!
Tell ya something that brought a few memories back referring to the comment by the announcer " that part of the world "
I watched random interviews with americans in new york that were asked " what hemisphere is Australia ", some answers. The western, Australia is near texas, somewhere near England they have that cross thing, ah I don't know, my friend told me it's not that and the train is nice.
Not calling it a knockdown?! Because he held him on the neck with his left glove right before the right obviously? Great win for Kostya no matter what.
Steele’s decision at 25:40 was correct.
Kostya Tszyu’s hand/arm was on Jake’s head at the time he hit/dropped him.
Therefore the knockdown was by way of a foul.
I am a big Kostya Tszyu fan but Steele got it right.
25:34 - Kostya Tszyu uses his right arm to throw Jake back on the ropes; a foul.
25:36 - Kostya Tszyu place his left arm on the back of Jake’s head and then knocks him down with a short right hook; a foul.
Surprising that the commentators missed it, even in the replay.
@@hwtilney That’s why they're commentators and not boxers.
Quite often some of boxing rule’s nuances - such as whether or not it is a knockdown when a fighter is punched and held/slips or vice versa - escape both, the casual boxing spectator and also commentators.
A point that by way of both, the video itself (the commentary) and also many posts here substantiate.
I think, since Kostya Tszyu gave such a scintillating performance (his KO of Rodriguez was really the fight that Kostya Tszyu exploded onto the global scene with), that to some extent it misdirected away from some of the infringements he authored as he actually delivered that scintillating performance.
It is and always will be the referee’s main priority to not get overwhelmed by the action and always consider the boxer’s safety first, and a part of that axiom is to ensure that fouls are not used to beat/hurt the opponent.
It’s a fine line to tread.
As was made clear in this and also the Kostya Tszyu V Zab Judah fight.
Костя как всегда точнее)
THIS IS THE BEST FIGHT OF KOSTYA TSYU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! URAL-SIBERIAN STREET-FIGHTER'S STYLE !!!!!!!!!!
And so began one of the great careers in boxing history! The greatest junior welterweight in the history of boxing!!! Oscar and Floyd knew better and ran for there lives lmfao
SUPER MOMENT - WATCH EVEREBODY 29:54
Jake could not figure out how to get to Kosta. He never really recovered from round one. I had never seen Jake before but will look for more of his fights. No match for Kosta in this one but his posing is real entertainment. Richard Steele on the other hand was not doing his job. He will suffer a great deal of criticism after his actions in this fight.
Richard Steele is a cheat.
And That's Why They Call him The Thunder From Down Under 🤜🏻⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Wow that wasn't a knockdown ??? Steele made so many giant blunders as a ref! Stopped Taylor fight with 7 seconds left and this and many more! Weird guy
Костя лучший боксёр
Умница. Костя!!!!!
Jake was not the same fighter he was when he faced Tito. In that fight he showed resilience and never stopped moving forward.Tito hit him with everything and Jake stood up to it for the most part. I was impressed with him in that losing bout. Here, Kostya hit often and did a lot of damage.
There was many a boxer who fought Kostya Tszyu who didn't look anything like the fighter they normally do. You could see the surprise at how fast, accurate and hard he hit. But it's too late once they are in the ring with him... As others have said, best 140 ever!
Is that "BUM" on the back of Kostya's trunks ?
Jake kept his head down. I don’t blame him for holding his head as he got head butted late in the fight!
Follow the link between Richard Steele, chuck giampa and……. Interesting
The three knock down rule should always be used because of irresponsible referees and those who pressure them to referee that way.
If he’d gone to the USA instead of Australia he’d be one of the best of all time. Sad he didn’t get enough opportunities to show he’s one of the best pound for pound fighters ever.
That right straight of his was devestating. You can watch the entire fight with Kostya and be on edge because you never know when it'll flash out, land, and end the fight.
Urmm I think Kostya is considered an all time great
An Australian promoter Bill Mordey knocked on his door. If an American one did he might of went there.
Крепкий парень Родригес
Kostya was destroying fighters and now Tim
Фром раша! Молодец!🔥👏👍🎉
СУПЕР МОМЕНТ - СМОТРЕТЬ ВСЕМ 29:54
This version of KT destroys every 140 lb fighter outside of maybe Pacquiao or a very early 140 JCC. I pick him over Floyd and he would destroy Pryor.
He would have a better chance against Pac than Mayweather. Styles make fights and Tszyu's is as close to JMM's style as one can get.
@@johnulmer1622 KT fights nothing like JMM, he's not a counterpuncher type. He brings the offense to you. Also you can't really tell anything from JMM v. Floyd, Marquez wasn't fully juiced into the weight yet lol
@@bernie4366 that's true, he wasn't. KT was what you would call an aggressive counter puncher. Yes he was the aggressor, but like JMM he was very good at countering in exchanges.
What a crock of shit 😂. He literally got battered by Toreto' Lopez two fights prior to this and got a gift wrapped decision..never gave lopez a rematch..and you have the audAcity to say he "destroys" EVERY 140 pounded other than Manny? LMAO he didnt Even destroy the top level contenders that he faced. Got whooped on by Sharmba mitchell before he blew his knee out. Knocked out by Vince Phillips. Dropped by Hurtado. And another gift decision over Urkal in his only unification bout 😂.
@@mikeharris503 don't agree but why the hate, he was a champ and he would only have to clip Mayweather to knock him out and I don't think Mayweather would knock him out. There are boxers with better records of undefeated than Mayweather and they actually fight the best fighters
Richard Steele made questionable calls, and other strange anomalies during his career as a referee.
Tszyu destroys southpaws... Perfect straight right hand... Great fighter.
at 25 kostya was probably unbeatable at that weight...his technique is so precise and ecconomically agressive.
Just amagine if Eddie futch was his trainer he would have been untouchable
what happened to this referee? Did he get more big gigs after this?
2 knock downs were not called! did not matter in the end!
Костя дзю ты лучший на все века.
А ВОТ ЗДЕСЬ СТОИТ ДЖЭЙК РОДРИГЕС - ПОСМОТРИТЕ САМИ - ВЕСЬ ГРУСНЫЙ, РАЗБИТЫЙ, С ТАКИМ ЖАЛОСТЛИВЫМ ВИДОМ, ВЗГЛЯДОМ, ЛИЦОМ, СМОТРИТ КУДА ТО - НАВЕРНОЕ НА ЭКРАН - ТАК ЖАЛКО ЕГО, ЧТО ХОЧИТСЯ ДА ЖЕ ПЛАКАТЬ, А ВЫ КАК ДУМАЕТЕ 37:46
who he fight at welter?
He fought a few at the Olympics 147 Vernon viper forest a great champ rip beat him forest beat mosley
Legend
Classic paid off ref. That no knockdown was as bad as it gets, then later took a point off Tzsyu for nothing.
I thought Rodriguez was a tough fighter, but this just shows the enormous difference in class and power.
Greatest 140lb ever..
Commentators?
Красиво убрал!
Velik boksior !!!
Парень с Урала 💪
28:56,30:43 Сукин сын!!!(son of the bitch)
IF WE ARE DOWN UNDER WHY ARE WE AHEAD ON TIME,HAHA
They tried to screw Tszyu out of this one.
ONE HELL OF GOOD BOXER AND RUSSIAN O MY GOD LOV IT.🙏✌🇵🇷😎☠🌷
Steele apparently one of the most inept (CORRUPT) referees
The best tyzu
Am I out of line to say that it was easier to buy a ref in the 90s? Or were they all this bad?
Костян - ты герой нашего времени - ты наш советский герой - посмотрите на гагаринскую улыбку - БРЕНД СДЕЛАНО в СССР - первый спутник 56 - Гагарин -61 - у меня башка кружится от счастья ,потому- что видел СССР - НХЛ 72 .....И увидел красавца Костю Цзю
Pathetic referring. Kostya all class as per
That ref is a bonehead. Kostya is the GOAT.
ВИДОС У ТЕБЯ НЕ ПЛОХОЙ, А ХОРОШИЙ, А ВОТ КАЧЕСТВО ВИДЕО ХИРОВОЕ - СДЕЛАЙ ТО ЖЕ САМЫЙ ВИДОС В КАЧЕСТВЕ ХОТЯ БЫ PAL - ЭТО 576 P
yep Steele shouldn't be refereing
Tszu was given his chance for fame and fortune BY AUSTRALIA and betrayed it AND his family went back to Russia and now his 2 sons who ARE Australians are writing another chapter FROM Australia. Kosya should have some shame.
отличые бои
The referee was not on tzyu side a disgrace
First knocked down never counted
Repeated head buts
Finally second knocked.down had to count. Tzyu with a split from head buts no warning
The third and final
Kostya had to beat two people in the ring that night. Bad refereeing from a ref who should have known better, corruption I think.
ggg is a larger, more technical version of kostya. but watching kostya's fights i never see him put his guard up, his hands are always down and we know he can be knocked down. he wouldnt have to eat half the shots he does if he would just put his hands up.
Kostya was a better fighter than ggg
AND YET MANAGED TO KICK EVERYBODY'S ASS! GUARD UP OR NOT, HE KICKED WAS WHEREVER HE FOUGHT!
yea rite beast fighter p f p ever , his bullet left or right why keep ya hands up with that accuracey
Костя уделал этого клоуна!!!
Pedro Sánchez vs Romale Ale
забил рыжего, красава.
30:45
Лучший безусловно,а те кто ему одну ничью,плюс грязная победа ниочем от хаттона ,радуетесь фальши и в сущности вы никто
Awesome fight ,really bad referee , it almost makes me say Fnskg neggioyr
Amongst the worst refereeing I have seen. Got to admire Jake's guts.
May weather Always avoided the best!
Floyd food for Tszyu
Потому-то Русскому позёр кого ронять👍👍👍👍👍
Perhaps the defining fight proving how much of an idiot Richard Steele was all along.
Like seriously???!!! Calling no knockdown when Jake CLEARLY took a knee to escape the punishment, as in WANTING the eight count. WARNING Tszyu for holding and hitting - HE DID NO SUCH THING. Like, this is a lil shit known for premature stoppages - he should've stopped this one round earlier.
HORRIBLE ref.
Its not a knockdown but he let's the guy get beat for no reason? What a horrible ref??? Him and Cole were the worst!!!
Рыжий мексиканец огреб по полной.
Упёртый носорог Вот и огрёб по полной

Каждый раз смотрю твои бои как первый раз!👊
