I just saw some old fights. There is no way that Hatton will win this fight. Skill wise, he is nothing compared to Kostya.

I gotta agree with ya, it may last a little longer than three but Tszyu will be able to handle everything Hatton tries to do.

Hatton's going to win by TKO RD 7, I got a feeling this is going to be a war, Hattons no push-over, and Kostyas been in-active/getting older.

Where's Martinwbc (Hatton fanatic)? You need to defend your fighter bro.....LOL.

It will be a good fight hatton is no push over, but tszyu is a pro, he is seasoned and his power is significant, tszyu will ko hatton late, in the 8th is my guess.

I agree with you that Kostya is getting there in age and is injury prone, and is ripe to fall but... I just dont think Hatton is gonna be the guy who does it, I like that Ricky is taking the step up in competition but I think he has just been too protected for too long. We may just have to wait a fight or two for Tszyu to fall... (rematch with Zab anyone?)


PS- The picture of Arroyo is sick.

Hatton has no idea what he just got into,i dont see how anyone can give hatton even the possibility of going past the 6round with KT....Kt will ko him before the 5 round for sure....i think mitchell did better against KT than hatton will ever be able to,KT by KTFO of hatton :boxing:

I saw some Hatton fights, hes pretty good, he works the body alot.

when hatton works the body he is not fast on getting out or protecting himself well enough,he will be open for a KT right if he does that,no dount hatton has a chance but i dont think his chin will hold KT's power. Dammit i really wanna see this fight,...top 3 things i cant wait for:
1-Castilo vs corrales
2-SIN CITY movie(friday) BABY!!!!
3-Kosta vs Hatton
:boxing:

Leech. Please direct yourself to the downloads section, and upload some fights. You are not contributing, and insulting someone who does. Save your retarded comments for the lounge, and do not simply post your worthless opinion.

Sincerely,

Shut up. I used to be a leech, i started uploading two days ago. Uploading Ali-Frazier II as we speak. Did three fights yesterday. So please jsut shut up.

And by the way, I will post my opinion whenever I like. I am entitled to. If it doesn't agree with yours then whinge to someone else, cos i dont wanna hear it.

I know, so far I'm picking-
Hatton to beat kostya
Trinidad to beat Winky
Cotto to beat whoever
Corrales to beat Castillo
Thinking Ruiz will beat Toney, fights 50/50 chance with huging
Cintron to beat Margarito
Mayweather to beat Gatti
Klitschko to beat Rahman

So I can easily be 0 to 8 on my perdictions (probaly am, by majority here), compared to fans on the internet, but hey my opinion doesnt win the fight, so lets see what happens :D .

Hatton may be tough and me be hyped in Emgland but he stands little chance against Tsyzu. It will be longer than 3 rounds but I agree that hatton will be stopped.........Rockin' :boxing:

i agree with some of those predicitions. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, i was just joking.

I think there is no clear winner to be picked for this fight. Hatton IS very good, thanks to the download section i can now say that I have seen ALL his fights, all 38 of them and i have seen maybe 20 of Tsyzu`s. This is NOT an easy fight for either guy. It really depends on Hatton, what is he gonna do? We know what Tsyzu does, he`ll hunt and try to destory. The one thing i fear about hatton is the cuts. Tsyzu is very accurate and this does not sit well with Hatton, he cuts too easy. But, his work rate and body attack will cause Tsyzu problems.
I think this sums it up. If hatton`s chin ( which so far so good but needs to be tested more ) can stand up to an early assault and Hatton can take the fight into the later stages, ala Vince Philips Vs Tsyzu, then i would favor Hatton to stop Tsyzu late. I think its horrific that some fans are in this worship mode for tsyzu. Tsyzu has some major flaws, namely footwork, chin and his own defence isn`t the best in the world. This is a 50/50 fight and as soon as people acknowlesge this the better!

Sharmba lost the fight vs his own nerves. He was good in the 1st round. In the 2nd and later Tszyu changed nothing but Sharmba started to do all possible to lose. He isn’t a coward but his nerves are bad. Hatton has great nerves and lion heart, he always does his gameplan and that’s why Tszyu will stop him in the 5th-7th.

i agree with hurlex, if you watch the stewert fight, when he's throwing those hooks to the body his non-throwing hand is low down near his waist, wide open for over the top counters. tszyu's right hand will have a party on hattons head! hatton is one-paced, one-dimensional and tszyu will have him figured inside 30 seconds.

Hatton may be tough and me be hyped in Emgland but he stands little chance against Tsyzu. It will be longer than 3 rounds but I agree that hatton will be stopped.........Rockin' :boxing:

Stands little chance against Tszyu?? If Hatton was American nobody would say that, most people in America picked Mitchell to beat Tszyu!! :D

Maybe we shall all pick fights on styles and not nationalitys.

Eamonn Magee - trash fighter? yeah right :D
Nobody can say they are certain Hatton will win because this is his first time in with an opponent on this level. Phillips was full of ephedrine when he fought Hatton & had only just lost a close decision to Mitchell so I don't see how it's that bad.

This is hardly a matter of nationality man. To say that Hatton is the better fighter, would be simply that. Only people from Great Britain would feel that he is the better fighter, and more than likely they are listening to "blue moon" while they are typing that. Hatton has faced a consistent string of nobodies as a professional. His only "real" victories IMO, were his wins over Phillips and Tackie. Phillips was old and washed up, and should not have been in the ring. He made the fight tougher than expected as well. I suppose everyone will say: "Phillips beat Tszyu", but that was an "any given saturday" type deal. Kostya would surely win the rematch. Ben Tackie is a tough fighter, but nothing to necessarily write home about.

Kostya is a machine. There is a reason why he is ranked the second best fighter on earth. He recently knocked out a fighter who I think would murder Hatton, being Mitchell. He made the job look easy. He also holds that knockout win over the current Welterweight Champion of the World. He has faced decent opposition for the longest time, and continues to prove himself over and over. He punches too hard for Hatton, has superior ring intelligence, and has arguably just as good a chin. Hatton was floored by the biggest trash fighter...in Magee. I would have to go to the length that Rockin1 did, and say that Hatton has absolutely no chance. Tszyu will knock him out in the fight, though I am not sure which round.

If the versa happens, you can dig this thread up and ridicule me all you want. I highly doubt it will though. This has the makings of a "Mayweather/Gatti" fight, where 1 man is outgunned.


The post said the Hatton is tough and hyped in England, thats obviously a nationality statement. basically saying thats he's just another overhyped fighter. It would have been easier to say Hatton is a tough fighter but IMO Tszyu has the better ability and will beat Hatton well.

You dont have to be blind to think Hatton will win, its a good styles match so i can see why people think Hatton has the tools to beat Tszyu(even though i'm favouring Tszyu).

I cant agree about Hatton vs Mitchell. I think Hatton would give Mitchell a good beating, i dont think he could stop him as fast as Tszyu did but IMO Hatton wouldnt have any problems. Mitchell just hasnt got the power to stop a rampaging pressure fighter like Hatton.

Tszyu obviously has the power to KO Hatton in any round but i think your underating Hatton ability, he's not just a pressure fighter, he's perfected his style.

Magee's a very good fighter, if he wasnt such a lazy ****er he'd be top ten, without doubt.

I just saw some old fights. There is no way that Hatton will win this fight. Skill wise, he is nothing compared to Kostya.

what fights did you see?

The fight is two month away and we already have a little war out here.
I pick Tszyu by early to middle round ko, possibly on cuts. Kostya:boxing:---Hatton :owned:

Eamonn Magee - trash fighter? yeah right :D

Yes. Trash fighter.

Don't talk **** mate Magee before he was injured was on the fringes of world class so I don't see how that's trash

Look at his awesome record.

I've only seen a few fights of both, but I don't think Hatton will beat Tszyu. He cuts too easily, and I think Tszyu's power will be too much for him. He's pretty good, but not able to hande Kostya yet.

Look at his awesome record.

How many fights of Magee's have you seen? He was scheduled to fight Sharmba Mitchell before Magee was attacked so Mike Stewart fought Mitchell instead, He was very lazy in the ring but had great skills & was a dangerous counter puncher, top 10/15 at that time no problem. Just before the attack he was beaten in a close fight with Oktay Urkal in Germany(even the judges had it close so that tells you something!) then had another fight or two, was supposed to fight Mitchell then was attacked. limited in top class maybe but hardly trash.

[QUOTE=Runw/knives] Only people from Great Britain would feel that he is the better fighter, and more than likely they are listening to "blue moon" while they are typing that.

LOL!!!!!!!!!! I completely agree!!!!!!!

Tszyu is the best @ 140 easy & until proven otherwise!! Hatton's face will look like a diced tomato after 5 rounds and I can see the fight being stopped on cuts. That or Tszyu lands the right hand from hell and it's all over red rover. Then we can look forward to Floyd & Gatti getting crushed by the Russian Tank.

Just a question as to why everyone on here thinks KT has an average chin. The fight that he was stopped he, he punched himself out, and other than that I can't remember him going down from a punch to the jaw. Judah hit him with a great shot early but he did not go down and was able to comeback and KO the guy within 2 rounds! What gives?

Hey that's Scribe Lyrics right? I went and saw him when he came to Brisbane...people were goin' insane...it was awesome!! That boy's got some talent...

Song is called Not Many (Remix) and the actual guy who sings that part is another NZ rapper called Savage. Have seen Scribe a couple of times in Syd and has always been a wicked show. 50 cent has massie wraps on the guy.

It’s an extremely interesting fight. I thought that Hatton is very strong physically but talentless fighter who can do nothing versus top-fighters. But his 2 bouts proved me wrong. And now it’s not important who will win, Tszyu or Hatton. Anyhow Ricky will become champion inside 3 years. The most important here is to save psychics if Tszyu will win.
Ricky was never really tested. Tszyu was in the hard fights but no one of his opponents had perfect tactics to really taste him. Vince had it.
Some weeks ago Hatton told that never used his whole potential. If he will do the same things as he did in his last fights he’ll be annihilated. But now he speaks the right things about his tactics. Will he be able to grow and change himself enough to defeat Tszyu? It seems to me no. Tszyu will be the same as he was in his last bouts and Hatton will show his changes. May be he’ll show the truth.

I just saw some old fights. There is no way that Hatton will win this fight. Skill wise, he is nothing compared to Kostya.

Old fights!! If i watched a current fight of Hatton and then watched an old fight of Tszyu i'd be under the impression Hatton would hand Tszyu a beating but that obviously not true. Hattons improved so much recently and there's no way you can judge him from old fights.

IMO both fighters is a their peak in boxing and it should be a good fight.
