Tzsyu Vs Mitchell: Predictions Please!!!!!!

[vB Martin]

I may not have noticed it as much with Mitchell. If it comes on On Demand I'm going to watch again and look for it.
It was the blatantness of the way that Tzyu was doing it that caught my eye.

It comes back on tonight on Showtime Extreme and I'm taping it for someone so I'll be watching it again too....I'll pay better attention cause it may have been me just nit-picking the poor guy, but honestly it seemed like the one that was expected to fight dirty (Tszyu) was the one that didnt
I'll 'look' for you tomorrow and see what you think after watching it again

Wait, wait, I just noticed you said IF it comes on On Demand....duh! Just post your opinion if you do see it again

Why are you guys whinging about the hits to the head in close when they are 'holding'? If you watch the fight again, often the referee keeps calling to 'keep punching'. Just because both fighters are in close and needing a bit of rest, expecting the ref to break them up, if he says 'keep punching' then its perfectly legal. Mitchell sat there like a ***** and Tszyu whacked him a couple - I thought i t was great.

The best part of this fight was KT's victory speech - seriously, that is what made him a champ. Other people talk **** but he sounded like an intelligent human - he doesnt say things unless he means them, and we have enough violence and bad-will in the world without that ****. It really moved me and made me proud to be a fan of his.

Edit: Where is that Damien character now? Hiding away in shame for bashing Tszyu like he did pre-match. That loser should get a clue about boxing before he starts bitching on great fighters again.

I'm not talking about during clinches. I'm talking about what is a blatant foul. fouling happens on the inside all the time, and I would say that most of it is unintential.
What I'm talking about is holding behind the head with one hand and pulling the head into the punching hand.

That's what I was referring to also; not clinching, etc. I watched it again last night and even though Kostya "returned" a couple of those 'sneaky' hold/hits, I still think it was Mitchell that really did it the most. And I got the impression (be it right or wrong) that he didnt do it so much to keep Tszyu from moving away, but to keep him from hitting him back. That would make sense, cause we all know what happens when Kostya Tszyu lands flush I could be wrong, that's just the way it appeared to me

I just watched the fight again, and both guys were throwing when they were clinching.

Yep! I posted that they both did it, but did you notice either one of them doing it a bit more than the other? Maybe it was just me but I watched it again for the 3rd time last night and damned if it didnt look like Mitchell was holding him to keep him from hitting him...But, maybe that's 'just me' too...who knows?
