Trouble begins with Ricky's style though. His marketability might be reduced in the US since there's no homeboy attitude that tends to want a win-at-all-costs. Meaning, the ugliness of the bout last night was obvious.
let's start some bets that HATTON doesn't go anywhere near the states.....and as i mentioned in a previous post, his first defence will be against witter or another 'legitimate' euro level contender.....
he ain't that dumb and in the states, it would be so so different.........
Ricky mentioned going to the US in his post-fight remarks, because he knows the fight game. His marketability just skyrocketed and he's not looking for an "appealing" market like UK or Oz, he was the "payday" market in Vegas.
Zoo will not retire from the game quite yet. So, the rematch is always there waiting and the US market would eat-it-up.

Munn, I agree last night wasnt a war more like a rough house dog fight drubbing, Hatton really beat the hell out of Tszyu last night. I had it one sided and even gave a few rounds to Tszyu and that was being generous.
Jatt-A rule of thumb in boxing is that the promoter knows and runs all, Hatton wont be coming to the U.S. anytime soon. Warren is such a whore, I cant wait until Warren lets his sissy boy Kahn get tested and watch that young chap get battered. I am very anxious about that moment and it is in one of my "must see" lists for boxing. :)
No. Its not going to happen.
It would have greater appeal in England or Australia.
That said, I would like to see a rematch, but I don't think it will happen. They will both move on.

At 35 I don't think Tszyu will want it and I'm sure Hatton won't... He should be aiming at Mayweather etc. so it's not in his interest to go through another war with a big hitter like Tszyu..
Unlike yourself, I didn't see a "war" last night.
i can't see HATTON fighting anybody outside of the U.K.
hatton has said many many times, that it is his dream/ambition to fight in LAS VEGAS, so expect him to be fighting there soon. Frank Warren's gonna be who wants him to remain in britain, that way he gets to keep the money, so we;ll have to wait and see who wins the battle. Hatton who wants to fight aboard and show his quality on a greater stage or Warren who wants more the of the money going into his pocket. We;ll have to wait and see but Hatton defeintly wants to fight in the main city, which is vegas.
We now know why Vivian avoided Hatton. The only complaint I have about the fight is that Hatton continously rabbit punched Tszyu and the ref did nothing, I do believe a point should have been taken.
But that isnt a big surprise, Hatton said in a statement that he was going to fight Tszyu dirty and that he would rough him up and hold him and wear him down and he executed his game plan and you cant take away any credibility for that.
Another thing though that irritated me was the low blow that Hatton threw to Tszyu. It was blatant and obvious and a point should have been taken there as well. I know most will throw the argument around that Tszyu low blowed Hatton as well. But that is a bunch of smoke up the ass, Tszyu hit Hatton on the side nowhere near his crotch and Hatton went down and it should have been ruled a knockdown. Hattons trunks were high and Tszyu hit to the side.
If Hatton would have been deducted for the constant rabbit punching and the KD was actually ruled a KD along with a point deduction for such a blatant and obvious low blow then Tszyu would have probably been able to continue and win the fight.
I respect both fighters for there respect towards one another and wish the fans of each would do the same, but that isnt going to happen.
Hatton was the better man in that fight. However, I still dont feel Hatton would be able to defeat a fighter like Mayweather, because of the speed difference.
However Hatton can make some interesting fights with Gatti and Cotto. If Hatton doesnt fight a top name opponent like so than I lose my respect. Warren is a cocksucking leech and he will milk that victory until there is no tomorrow and it will ruin Hatton.
you watch, hatton won't leave england and his next opponent will be Junior Witter......or maybe even another "legitimate" european level fighter....
this talk of castillo, chico, mayweather, harris, etc is all b/s.
bro, the reason why he said that, because he isn't a loud mouth.......how many fighters have you heard immediately after a fight say they want a rematch,,,,and then they don't accept it..............
Tszyu will do the normal thing........which is look at his options the proper way and not shoot his mouth off.
thats becuz eitha Tszyu is plannin on retiring or he knows he cant beat Hatton.
If fightas arent confident on winning a rematch, they tend to not express their opinion bout wanting it. Trinidad got beat convincingly by Wright and I dont think he's interested in a rematch.
On the flip side, fightas that was beaten but KNOW THEY CAN WIN a rematch, tells the peeps so. Ask Pacman, he'll say he want rematch wit Morales anytime, anywhere becuz, HE KNOWS he can beat him!
You're right because Tszyu won't fight Hatton again. When Kostya was asked whether he would fight Ricky again, he said he still has to think about it. I think he just found out that Hatton can take his punches and that stylewise, Hatton will give him much trouble.

...I turned to my buddy watching the fight with me and commented in the first round that the ref had no control. He was a weak ass ref who made the situation worse and had no control of that fight.
hatton would
warren wouldnt
stfu about the ref and judges-they were selected by the ibf as far as i know, just like in all sanctioned world title fights.
no he won't fight tszyu in the U.S come to think of it he won't fight anyone outside of england because there he can have the same refs and judges in all his fights ...
Bull shit. Have you ever seen Tszyu fight? He always does stuff like that. He always punches in clinches, on breaks, and hits behind the head. He throws guys around all the time. He was losing the first fight to Mithcell and started throwing him around like a rag doll
correction............visit boxrec.com and you'll see that tszyu was not losing the first fight to mitchell at all.....see the scorecards up until the end.
Don't be so biased. I was rooting for Hatton and even I can see how dirty this fight was. Hatton was nodding to the red everytime he got whipped on the inside. He also got knocked down by a body sho that was never called. Fuck that. A sad night for boxing and Ricky Hatton knows it.

Come on dude, he lost fair and square. If Tszyu wouldve beat Hatton in Vegas and the Brits wouldve said what you are saying then you would be upset.
Harris goes to England and wins. Hatton won fair and square
