Bakhram Murtazaliev spent years waiting to get a shot at the IBF junior middleweight championship before finally winning the title in April. On Saturday night, he got a statement win in his first title defense, battering Tim Tszyu for a third-round TKO.

Terence Crawford took to his X social media account while watching Bakhram Murtazaliev dismantle Tim Tszyu on Saturday night. And just as it was getting darker in the ring for Tszyu, Crawford's commentary got grimmer by the post.

Bakhram Murtazaliev insisted that he had no problem fitting his 6’0″ frame into a junior middleweight uniform. The defending IBF titlist proved it at the scales on Friday, when he checked in at a slender 152.
