Tim Tszyu has restored his reputation and reignited his international career with a brutal beatdown of American Joey Spencer in Newcastle. Spencer’s team threw in the towel and the referee stopped the fight two minutes and 18 seconds into the fourth round, after Australia’s former WBO world champion battered his opponent with a stunning blitz to the head and body.
