Tszyu’s full range of skills, speed and power were on show as the Australan star improved to 20-0 but Inoue — a fighter who had never previously been knocked down — showed incredible toughness and heart to go the distance.
Inoue copped all kinds of punishhment, to the head and body, as Tszyu scored a comprehensive points victory to keep his super welterweight world title dream alive.
