Warrior Tim Tszyu might be down but he's far from out, with his plans to become a boxing big dog merely taking a different route, according to his manager.
Tszyu entered his Las Vegas super-welterweight unification world title fight against Sebastian Fundora as the hottest property in the sport.
But a gaping head gash suffered late in the second round when he walked into 197cm Fundora's elbow, that left him unable to see clearly for 10 rounds, scuppered his plans to emulate his father Kostya as a unified world champion.
