Tszyu / Hatton Weigh-in Pictures

[Shaolin Bushido]

You can tell by Hatton's pic, there's a 240 pounder inside him, yearning to be free!

And if there's anyone of the two that should be more nervous it should be Tszyu, he's the champ who's a 5:1 favorite.

Also might be a reason Tszyu didnt mind fighting in England, how much more preassure if he was fighting in front of his home crowd facing a dangerous young opponent, and being a 5:1 favorite...

I think you overestimate the pressure there is in being favourite. Believe me, with thousands of Aussies cheering Tszyu on, he would hardly be nervous fighting out of Australia. That kind of adrenalin is worth a lot. That's why Tszyu is taking it to Hatton - he wants to challenge himself and take on all comers.

That, and the money

tszyu is the most calmest fighter iv'e ever seen. he's never shown that he gets ruffled fighting away from home. altho i must say no boxer should ever fight in puerto rico or germany.

Hehe, Tszyu is very calm, I guess because of his experience. I remember seeing him take a shot from Zab in Round 1 and thinking 'Oh ****!' but even though Zab wanted to go for the kill and the crowd was going ape****, he just worked through it like a pro.

And **** fighting in Germany.

They seem to be in great shape...

About fighting in Germany or withgermans. Tszyu got robbed in olympics by some german fighter, who he dropped twice(I know kd's dont count in am's) and dominated the whole fight. Just a little side information about german boxing. Funny though, Tszyu year later, met that fighter again and ko'ed him.

[MlLkMan]

hattons looks like he's in his late thirtys. tszyu looks like he's in his twenties. this will be an easy one for tszyu.hope it goes atleast to middle rounds so tszyu can get a workout.then on to bigger and better fights . tszyu is looking and smiling at his bankbook. smart move taking this tuneup.

Tuneup?? you gotta be kidding
Hatton is not a tuneup, he'll committ murder on tszyu

[tracylee]

There won't be any need for excuses. Tsyzu is one of the best best boxers on earth, now or ever. There is no shame in losing to him.

I agree. I think this is a very big step up for Hatton, and I give him props just for getting in the ring with KT. Losing wont end it for him.
