Have to feel bad for Tim Tszyu based on how the entire fight changed due to his grotesque cut. But good for Sebastian Fundora, who redeemed himself after that brutal knockout loss to Brian Mendoza last year. And fought through a badly bloodied nose most of the fight himself.
Tim Tszyu: "I am a throwback fighter. I couldn't see but all credit to Sebastian Fundora." #TszyuFundora | #FightNight

In one of the bloodiest fights in recent memory, Sebastian Fundora scored the upset with a split-decision victory over Tim Tszyu: 116-112, 115-113 and 112-116. Tszyu suffered a gruesome gash over his forehead in Round 2 from an elbow that changed the fight. Huge guts from both.

Good call. Fundora gets the DESERVED split decision upset. Do feel for Tszyu a bit....well never know if he'd had remained in control without that cut. But it's Fundora's night. hats off to the warrior who used his height better than ever. #TszyuFundora #ANDTHENEW
Fundora closed strong. I think he won the fight, 116-112. Some close rounds, Tszyu landed hard when he did land, but not nearly as often as Fundora. Tszyu dominant up until that cut. Fight totally changed. #Boxing #TszyuFundora
ROUND 11: Fundora boxing really well and Tszyu struggles to cut the ring off to plant his feet. This could well be all down to the last round but the general consensus is that Fundora is a round or two up. #TszyuFundora | #FightNight | #MainEvent
Close 11th round. Fundora pelted Tszyu repeatedly and knocked the blood off of his head with his jab over and over again. Tszyu landed some hard, eye-catching power shots in the final minute. I edge to Fundora, but some judges may not. 106-103 Fundora. #TszyuFundora
ROUND 10: A better round from Tszyu. Seemingly got his second wind and probably just about edges the round. Fundora sticking to the boxing fundamentals though with that long jab as he has throughout the fight. #TszyuFundora | #FightNight | #MainEvent
Much needed 10th round for the champion Tim Tszyu. He sat and waited to counter Fundora with a few straight right hands and check left hooks to take the 10th. Fundora got good work off, but harder shots by Tszyu. 96-94 Fundora. #Boxing #TszyuFundora
Straight fight hand by Tszyu buzzes Fundora in the 10th. #Boxing #TszyuFundora
Dude is losing blood and losing rounds. Credit to Fundora for fighting wisely and taking advantage of the situation, but what a way this would be for Tszyu to lose.
THIS FIGHT ๐ณ #TszyuFundora (๐ธ: @premierboxing) https://t.co/iAPSNDtHVo
ROUND NINE: Tszyu just cannot put his combinations together and Fundora is now well in control of this fight. He can barely miss with that long jab of his and Tszyu all of a sudden looks really fatigued. #TszyuFundora | #FightNight | #MainEvent
Fundora snuck a left uppercut to the body in the 9th and I think it hurt Tszyu. Poker face but he took steps back for the first time in forever. Tszyu looking for a KO and loading up and rounds are getting away from him. #Boxing #TszyuFundora
ROUND SEVEN: Fundora gets behind his jab once again and Tszyu is following him around the ring but has so far been unable to put a dent in him. He is literally pouring with blood and it's clearly having a massive effect on this fight. #TszyuFundora | #FightNight | #MainEvent
ROUND SIX: Tszyu just looking to plant his feet and take Fundora out with every shot but the American's chin is holding up really well. Tricky fight to score considering the circumstances. #TszyuFundora | #FightNight
Straight left hand for Fundora knocks Tszyu's head up in the 6th. Tszyu getting in some left hooks but getting peppered as well. #Boxing #TszyuFundora
Tim Tszyu and Sebastian Fundora after just five rounds of their bloodbath fightโฆ https://t.co/ISdL1yLVun
ROUND FIVE: A better round for Tszyu after a tricky round three and four. The fight is now official so if it's stopped cause of the cut then there will be a decision. It's messy though with blood pouring from Fundora's nose. Not a fight for the faint hearted. #TszyuFundora |โฆ
Much better 5th round for Tszyu, walking Fundora down and timing him coming forward. Tszyu holding off Fundora's momentum and made some adjustments. 48-47 Tszyu. #Boxing #TszyuFundora
Absolute bloodbath between Tim Tszyu and Sebastian Fundora through four rounds. Tszyu surely canโt see much the way the blood is spooling into his eyes. Fundora appears to have a broken nose. Mouth bleeding, too.
This fight quickly evolved into a Fight of the Year type of fight. Tszyu landed some hard left hooks down the stretch of the 4th, but I still give it to Fundora. 38-38 in an absolute bloodbath. #Boxing #TszyuFundora
Tszyu. You donโt play #boxing. #TszyuFundora #PBConPrime https://t.co/21ZVdgIhhT
Good fight thus far. Fundora is leaking from the nose, but not as bad as Tszyu with a gash on his scalp. Tszyu started strong early, but here comes Fundora with uppercuts and his own pressure.
ROUND THREE: Fundora's best round by a distance. Tszyu is bloodied, bad, from that huge cut on the top of his forehead and it's causing him real problems. It'll be a miracle if the doctor lets this go much longer. #TszyuFundora | #FightNight | #MainEvent
Tszyu cut was from an accidental elbow from Fundora. He basically ran into Fundora's elbow. #boxing #PBConPrime #TszyuFundora
All of a sudden Tim Tszyu 's face is a bloody mess an the is in TROUBLE in the 3rd! Big round for Fundora. Fight changed on a dime from Tszyu's cut. As Larry Merchant would say: WE HAVE DRAMA! #Boxing #TszyuFundora
Tszyu with a huge cut on the top of his head apparently from a Fundora elbow. Tszyu starts the third round like a man on the mission with blood pouring everywhere. This fight will get stopped here. #TszyuFundora | #FightNight | #MainEvent
Fundora hurts Tszyu in the 3rd! Tszyu exchanging while hurt! The cut on Tszyu's head has given Fundora life! #Boxing #TszyuFundora
2-0 Tszyu and Fundora's face all bloody and Tszyu nasty gash on top of head. It's bad. #boxing #TszyuFundora
Fundora looking every bit like a guy who's coming off a KO loss.....timid. Not letting go of his wicked uppercuts. Tszyu meanwhile has busted his nose open already through 2 and his accuracy is dead on. Tszyu's skill evolving. #TszyuFundora
ROUND ONE: Fundora immediately throwing that jab out and using that huge reach advantage. Tszyu looking to land big single shots to head and body and has success and backs Fundora up. A good opening round for the champ. #TszyuFundora | #FightNight | #MainEvent
Fundora trying to box on the outside early on, but Tszyu looking rangier to start than in fights past. Dipped underneath and came up with a beautiful right hand over the top from long-range that knocked Fundora's head up. 10-9 Tszyu. Very sharp. #Boxing #TszyuFundora
Main event time. Gotta favor Tszyu. Fundora will probably try jab more...early. But this is going to turn into a phone booth fight. Fundora loves his left uppercut inside, but Tszyu is just sharper/faster/compact. On the inside, that'll give him the edge. #TszyuFundora
