The fight took place in Minneapolis and was the first for Tszyu in the United States, before that he had only competed in Australia.
"It was an amazing experience. I'm glad that I managed to get 12 rounds against such a quality opponent as Terrell. I showed all that I can. I can't wait for another fight in the USA. I dream of fighting in Las Vegas, but at the moment I would be glad to return here, this is an amazing place", boxingscene.com quotes Tszyu.
In the fight with Gausha, Tszyu fell into a knockdown for the first time in his professional career. “In the early rounds, I wanted to be more careful and got caught.
