10.04.06 – By Kostya Tszyu: Last weekends battle between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Zab Judah in Las Vegas was very interesting. Zab fought well in the first four rounds. I think the combination of his speed and southpaw style gave Floyd some trouble. But, as all great boxers do, Floyd found the answers within himself. I had Floyd winning, but not by the same big margin that some of the judges and commentators had. I thought Zab won five of the rounds..
This was one of Floyd’s best wins. I have always said that Zab is a good fighter. He showed this in the early rounds. But again, I was very impressed with Floyd’s performance and it was an exciting fight to watch in many ways.
There has been talk of a possible fight between Floyd and myself later this year. This is exciting to hear, but I am focusing on my dancing and some business projects right now. When it comes to my boxing career, I am cool right now and relaxing.
I was happy with my performance last week with the Viennese Waltz and am pleased that we are still there in the final five couples on “Dancing with the Stars”. In some ways it was a shock that Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins was voted out last week, because she is a good dancer. But in other ways it was not, because it all comes down to the viewer voting. On the night, anyone can be voted out. That is why I need the support of the Tszyu Crew to help me get through to the final week. Every phone or text vote counts. I want to be in the final week and win.
While “Dancing with the Stars” is a lot of fun, more importantly, proceeds from your voting will go to one of my favourite charities – THE SMITH FAMILY, who help needy children and families.
The Tszyu Crew in Australia can help me support THE SMITH FAMILY in the following ways.
