I don't wanna say it, but I refused to watch the fight mainly cuase I was almost 99.9% sure Amir KAhn would win this. And not because of his skill. I mean if you think about all that was riding into this match and what was goin' 2 B the aftermath it made sense. Politics. :mad: :mad: ;)
I'm a BIG Ricky Hatton fan and I've watched almost all of his fights. I've followed his career closely and I once met Ricky Hatton when he was ringside at a live event in London. This is the fight all us Hatton fans have been craving for for soooo long!... And I can't believe it's only 3 weeks away from happeneing.
I think it'll go one of two ways... Ricky can and does get hit, And he doesn't wanna take too many big shots from Tszyu or he's not gonna get up! Either Ricky get's knocked out early "OR"... If Ricky's still standing after 6 rounds it'll go to the cards, And I have to favour Ricky on sheer work rate.
Ricky's not the "one trick pony" a lot of American boxing writers are refering him too... He is actually a very good boxer. He won 80 out of 85 amatuer fights, and beat Cubans in Havana along the way before turning pro.
I would say that this is a 57%-43% fight in Tszyu's favour. - So by that you see I think Hatton's definatly in with a good shout of winning!
We can only wait and see though. ;)
I think you mentioned his downfall, he takes to many shots. Throw that onto the fact he gets cut relatively easy and it is trouble for Hatton.
I reckon Hatton will be different... "IF" He beats Kostya Tszyu, (Yeah he ain't the favourite but he stands a MUCH MUCH better chance of beating Tszyu than some of you Yanks are giving him credit for).
Ricky Boy is a GOOD fighter, and I respect Kostya Tszyu for taking the Hatton fight, Coz' Hatton is a dangerous opponent.
I Reckon "IF" Ricky wins, his next fight will be against a big name... Either to unify or if someone like Corrales fancies moving up for the challenge.
Hatton's hungry and he will demand the big fights.
If he does beat Kostya I will give him respect and will not even throw out the excuse that Kostya was to old. Hatton is a hell of a body puncher but Tszyu's pretty tight defense and his pin point accurate shots will break the relatively untested Hatton down.
No Jamaican. :)
Hamed was overhyped to hell and everyone thought he was jesus even when he was fighting bums.
Kahn will be brought along the same way, all of Warrens fighters are bitches. It happened with Hamed and it will happen with Hatton.
Ahh man when he meets a real fighter with heart his ass will be blown away. Those british guys suck when they step it up. I would avoid those Mexican warriors at all cost and not make the same mistake as Hamed.
At that weight he'd have to meet one of them along the road, but his first 9-10 fights will probly be against indonesian or thailand bums who fall flat on their backs at the sight of a dollar.

he looked like he didnt wanna be there, but you cant take nothing away from khan. warren the leech is gonna probably sign him and he will fight nobodies and win the wbo belt
Fix!
Did I hear talk of Kindelan relocating to Blighty to offer his coaching services? Very fishy.
I'm not serious, but Kindelan looked like shit ... I'm just saying ... like shit ... he was. :D
