Kostya Tszyu VS Ricky Hatton

[J !]

when i saw kostya smash judah to the floor i said to my self kostya hits like a middleweight boom boom two fast right hands so hatton is in deep **** zab could move much faster than ricky and kostya nailed him and let no one forget that hatton can cut up really bad and kostya knows all about it hatton may end up looking like vitali klitschko after the lewis fight ricky does throw alot of shots but tszyu just needs one shot and it is over

punctuation mate take a breath

latest from the hatton camp, feck he is looking in shape.

[NAB]

Yeah he is in danger of overdoing it. That's why he's easing back for a bit.
Experience or lack of will play a big part in this fight IMO.

That's what I was thinking when I saw on Teletext about Hatton saying he felt ready to go right now, hope he doesn't peak too soon and go stale cos no one will listen to any "Oh I overtrained" excuses, he said this is his longest training camp ever but I think they should stick to what they've been doing, Ricky's always in great shape come fight time and his stamina is second to none so why try something that might not suit you in such an important fight? they should stick to the tried & tested imo.

[J !]

i think they know what they are doing the key is to keep an thelte bubbling under for a 3-4 weeks then let him go to peak.

he'll be fine.

[barryboy]

Hope so. It just reminded me of when I was at the gym and Steve McClevy was training to fight Brian Coleman or Alan Temple I can't remember which and the fight was about 2/3 weeks away, I heard the trainers talking in a sort of quiet whisper & they were saying McClevy was ready to go right now and they'd have to keep an eye on him. I remember the fight though, Steve never really got going and was cut to ribbons, obviously team Hatton is a more professional set up but that's what went through my mind when I first saw that.

I predict Kostya to win by points.
Question, why would they have the fight on at 2am local time?
That's if I heard correctly.

[NAB]

So it is prime time for US audience.

tszyu in two
tszyu in two
tszyu in two. - just kidding. sounds good cause it ryhmes. I say tszyu in eight and plenty of action outside the ring. With the fight starting at 2 in the morning, i wonder if they have considered how many ppl might actually be drunk before they even get to the fight! me thinks extra security might be needed at this one!

I think it'll end in the late rounds. hatton isn't like those slick boxers like judah and mitchell. he'll absorb a lot of punishment before the fight is stopped and the both of them will have satisfied their fans
