Kostya Tszyu VS Ricky Hatton

[Manny_P]

Cmon Ricky Haton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Show them foos how we do it!

[jason power]

I actually think we're more likely to see an early attack from Kostya Tszyu. The longer the fight goes on, the more chance Ricky has of winning it.

Kostya Tszyu may feel like a million dollers in training at the moment, but it will definatly not be in his best interests (at 36yrs of age), to be entering the 10th or 11th round with a young strong Ricky Hatton who's fighting at an even faster pace than he did in the 1st round.

Kostya's best chance of winning is to blast Ricky out of there inside the first four rounds.

If the fight goes to points, Ricky stands a good chance of winning it on sheer work rate only!

I cant really agree that Kostya has to KO him early to win.
As we know Kostya is usually a slow starter.Just getting his range
holding out that left hand.Even at 36 years doesnt make much
differnce as Kostya body hasnt been put through many wars in
the ring.Dont underestimate KT as he is one the most smartest
fighters in the world or be fooled by his lack of recent ring time.

Take into account the power in his right hand and left jab when
used as in the Gonzalez fight. Ricky will be the one starting very
cautiously.Kostya will take a few rounds getting his distance and
timming right while peperring him with his jab.KTs dedication and
experince will be a huge factor.His preperation is all astounding
even for a 36 year old who has been at the top of his tree for
such along time there are never no short cuts.

Should be a great fight and your boy Hatton will learn so much from
this fight.That when KT retires he possibly will be the next champ.
My prediction Kostya by KO round 6-7.
By the way what is the exact time they will be fighting
not what time the fist fight starts.Coz here in OZ ithink
we are 9 hours ahead from the UK.

I see Kosta winning this fight in the latter stages, it think that Hatton will be too easy to hit by Tszyu and eventually Tszyu will grind hime down leading to a stoppage later in the fight. This fight is really exciting as they both hit hard and in a way both have a punchers chance, i think it will be a great fight. I'll be chearing for Hatton but i think Tszyu will be the winner.

[solo1bc]

Ricky can do it provided he doesn't get cut! The kid is soooo white his skin looks like tissue!

If he can hang in there past the 6th I honestly think he can do it!
