    Tszyu=3 rounds in 2 years?

    Thats not good. If he doesnt get Hatton early like he did Zab and Mitchell then will he be able to handle the Hitman for a long hard "fast paced" fight? You know Ricky will fight a uptempo style and with Tszyu being 35 and having fought just 3 rounds in 2 years spells disaster. It really isnt that hard to see Hatton wearing Tszyu down late with that pace and body punches.

    Also he is right handed and his defensive style I think could be hard for Tszyu to land alot. That straight right doesnt land as much against righties and when it does, it isnt that effective as it is against lefties. Hatton's bobing and weaving, in and out defense could also give Tszyu problems and he may smother alot of his punches. Could be the makings of a upset?

    Side note-Tszyu's last 3 fights against right handers were a hard fought 12 round decision in a very close fight against Urkal which he never really hurt, Tackie which he easily beat but was another 12 round decision and he never came close to hurting him, and against a washed up Leija who some think were winning at the time of the stoppage in the 6th round. He also lost to Phillips and was dropped twice by Hurtado. He is not that great against right handers. Thats why I think Floyd would beat him and thats why I think Hatton has a good chance

    Thats a good point,and I mean he did mess up mitchell,but mitchell had been looking lackluster in at least two of his fights previous to Tszyu,but to Tsyzu's credit, mitchell had not been handed an ass woppin like that(but maybe Mitch didnt help himself by fighting on the inside) I still dont see Hatton winning tho,i think he's been babied ,no disrespect,i just dont think hes fought much talent yet,and i think hes gotten over confident,38 fights undefeated and anybody would think theyre invinvicble.If it does go to the late rounds tho,i have no clue who would win,some might say hattons body work would shine there,but i have to believe hatton would have taken some hard shots from tszyu by that point ,unless his defence has remarkably improved,which i doubt, because thats not his style.

    so...

      You can go on and on about styles, defences, techniques and opponents. I'm going for the young underdog - Hatton by UD.

        Defensive style? What are you on? Hatton comes straight forward, gets hit way to much and leaves himself very open.

          I really hope the fight goes into the later rounds. Partly because I think that is when Hatton has his best chance but mainly because I want to see how Tsyzu will react. Will the old legs fail him?
