Where to now for Tszyu?

I don't think he made a mistake at all, and Tony Weeks is far from incompetent. He had a split second to make the choice between ruling that the roped were holding Castillo and issuing an 8 count, or calling the fight. He erred on the side of caution, and having watched that sequence over and over and over, I would have done the same. The mouthpiece crap was just that, crap. Diego was a pussy for spitting it, but the rules were followed to a T and Weeks didn't ler him linger in the corned. Plus, Corrales didn't look hurt in either KD. It was a pussy move on Castillo's part to a governing body the loves it some Mexicans. Agreed. :luvbed:

Tszyu isn't retiring, he will win a big fight then he will step down. Yeah. He cannot go out after a loss. He will do a Judah or a DLH fight and then it will be retirement. I can see a huge gate for a DLH fight.

Tszyu isn't retiring, he will win a big fight then he will step down.

I'm going to watch the fight again Moday and record every foul by each fighter just to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me tonight.

I don't think Tszyu will initiate anything, but I can see the IBF not wanting this going down on their record. They always review tapes after fights, anyway. Now that is interesting. It would be very interesting if the IBF over ruled the decision. Imagine the uproar in England!

I guess we just have to wait and see what comes out over the next few days. The fact he was so gracious and said he was very tired, more so than ever before in his career seemed like he accepted the defeat. So it will be interesting if anything comes out in the next couple of days I don't think Tszyu will initiate anything, but I can see the IBF not wanting this going down on their record.

Castillo was gracious in defeat the night of the fight, too. I would never have thought that the warrior Castillo would have done that, either. I don't think Tszyu would, though. Part of me has to wonder if the reason that Tszyu didn't come out for the 12th was the constant, blatant, unwarned fouling in Hatton's back yard. Still no excude to quit on the stool, though.

just another thing bro, i firmly believe that the ref with chico - castillo simply was incompetent and made a mistake.......i don't really believe that it was bias...but simpy incompetence at its worst... with hatton vs tszyu, i don't think it was incompetence at all but rather .....you say it!

Maybe, just maybe, Tszyu could do like Castillo and go the pussy route. There's enough blatant shit in that fight to get it ruled a no contest. Hatton nodding to ref for a break when he couldn't hit Kostya should be more than enough. At least Tszyu would have a legitimate case. just another thing bro, i firmly believe that the ref with chico - castillo simply was incompetent and made a mistake.......i don't really believe that it was bias...but simpy incompetence at its worst... with hatton vs tszyu, i don't think it was incompetence at all but rather .....you say it!

There is no way that Kostya would do that. Its not his style. He took the defeat like a man and a true gentleman. He is a credit to boxing and Hatton deserved the win.

Tszyu is not like that..........even though he would have a case........ he is such a gentleman and a true role model for the sport........ he knows as well as we do, that the ref and hatton were a bit over the edge, but he still didn't even mention it...... either way, this just can't happen over and over again in such a sport.... You beat me to the punch on this one! 1 rep point goes to you ;)

mate, just imagine if it was the same fight, but held in australia or in the states........everyone knows that hatton would have been docked many points or perhaps even DQ'd...... he played it dirty with the help of the ref and this was just enough to unsettle the composure of Kostya.

Kostya should retire. He looked really old and slow in this fight, not the KT I knew.

Why again? This is/should be standard stuff! If I am the champion, I am confident but that does not mean I am betting my entire net assets on it! It seems very logical that every Champion vs challenger fight would have a rematch clause. If the money was EXCELLENT and being offered by the challengers camp then I could half fathom no rematch clause. Tszyu had everything to loose. Hatton had nothing to loose Having followed Tszyu for over 10 years, I can't remember him having rematch clauses too often, if ever.

Why? Tszyu was the Champion. Hatton only held the WBU (who?) belt champion yes, but unless it was a rematch not in the U.K, and I can't see hatton's camp accepting this........

You can doubt it, mate, but I remember being surprised that Tszyu's camp asked for one. Why again? This is/should be standard stuff!
